Problems Skilling Up

[Aavar]

I was wondering these people who are having horrible runs what there int/wis is.

Because with my int at 390 doing smithing from 259 to 289 i used 543 combines of misteltoe sickles.

and then currentely at 295 skill with 79 more combines

skill up rate is about 1 per 17 combines..

NOW my friend who did smithing beofre the patch
had skill up of about 1 in 12. but he was smithing with a 425 strength.

int is 375.

My wis (shaman, so that's my primary stat of course) was at 390. My other stats are maxed also. I still play the game of buffing myself with everything I can while doing tradeskills.

My skill up rate doing sickles is almost 1:100 atm. And my skill was at 284 before I gave up for now out of frustration.

I'm only level 52 so my INT is only 255.
My horrible runs have been in jewelcraft. Since 280 (though up to 283 was pre-patch) I've averaged 71.28 combines per skill-up, since 290 I've averaged 166 combines per skill-up.

Even with those numbers I am pushing over 2k combines starting fletching from 250 and only 276 now. (I think around 3-6 of those skills was prenerf) I reading that people were getting to 300 off 1500 or so in fletching. If it is getting harder the higher my skill goes I am looking at least 5k combines total to get to 300. My understanding was it was only going to increase the total number of combines it took by 20%.

I really like to hear from SOE that they have double checked and that this is how it is supose to be because it doesn't seem right from what they said.

Sorry if you feel picked on, but I have to draw the line somewhere.

Since you guys can't stop asking the devs to post here no matter how many times we have told you to stop, I am jsut going to close this down.

I had hoped people had more self control than this, guess I get to be disapointed.

And please don't read into this this that it is just you... read it carefully... I said "guys". multiple people have been doing it and I finally had enough.
