Trophies

[Aalar]

Is there any trophy that is more difficult to get than any other?

Everyone knows that tailoring/smithing are harder than baking/brewing. Is it the same chance to get a smithing tailoring trophy as it is for a baking trophy? The reason I ask is that I am only going to get one trophy and I need to pick one.

As far as the combine is concerned, you should have an equal chance of making the trophy, no matter what your skill level is. For example, if you have a skill of 220 in JC, your chance is the same as if you had 220 in tailoring or smithing.

As far as getting a high enough skill to have a reasonable chance to make the trophy, well that's a different issue. Brewing is probably the easiest skill to raise up to 250 (well, 248 + Geerlok) so you'd have the best chance to get a successful trophy combine. So from that standpoint, the brewing trophy is probably one of the easiest to get.

I made all seven trophies and did not notice any one that was harder to make. Hardly a statistical sample size, but all were 1-3 combines per trophy.

EDIT: I also waited for 252 skill before even trying the trophy.

Brewing might be easiest (and cheapest) to get max skill in but it also requires a tinkered corking device for each try at the GM trophy, making it the most expensive attempt of all the tradeskill trophy combines. While the other eight tradeskill attempts (listed below) use items costing 1-50 plat, the corking device will run you several hundred plat depending on server.

alchemy = potion of mystical aptitude
baking = dairy spoon
blacksmithing = smithy hammer
brewing = corking device
fletching = fishbone dart tool
jewelcrafting = glass shard & silver bar
poison making = sealed poison vial
pottery = sculpting tools
tinkering = metal bits & sharpening stone

That's a great point. I completely forgot about that. I have a friend that is a high level tinkerer, so always forget to consider them. Sorry about that.
