Tradeskills Maybe Bugged (bad skill up run)

[celesta windpetals]

I just got done with a run of 83 combines on the Healing Potion X (348 Trivial) with a skill of 270(283 With Gearlock) and received 0 skill ups. On previous runs of the same potion I was receiving on average 1 skill up for ever 20 combines. I've been doing these combines since arround 250 and have had good results till this last run.

That's why it's called a random number generator, because it's random. It's not out of the ordinary to go a long time between skill ups, I'm currently at a streak of like 60-70 tailoring combines on my druid without a skill up.

Since DoDH go live

2 Mag BP
15 GM DoN Combines
12 Muramite Sheet Combines
13 Tae Ew Chain Legs

No skill ups at 260 skill.

4 GM Water Combines for Augs
2 skill ups in Jewelry Making.

So skills are going up. Just some bad luck I think.

Dinged 202 last night in research on my mage doing whatever combines I could scrape together.

My Shammy averaged 38 combines per skill-up from 250-298, but she is a bit thick (255wis). That includes 4 sessions with over 100 combines without a skill-up. So don't give up hope, you'll get a fair few points with less than 5 combines = )

[Wystler]

I've gone 136 combines on shadowscream for smithing with no skill ups. Last week I did 91 Master's (290) cultural combines with no skill ups. I've seen people report 340 (highest I've ever read about). It's just a naughty little computer program. You have my sympathy! At least the potions selll even if it's for a pittance.

Sorry

Sorry if I sounded like an Alarmest but Like I said it was really out of the norm for a combine I have been doing for 20 skill ups and it was the first run I had made since the last patch. I just didn't want to see people waste valuable combines if there was a problem.

I tradeskilled post patch (Sunday) and didn't see anything terribly different from the pre-patch combines. On Sunday I did:

Jewelcraft - 293 to 296
Blacksmithing - 212 to 222
Pottery - 216 to 227
Tailoring - 164 to 171

Granted I had some streaky points, but then I'd turn around and get low number of combine skill ups as well.

Would people be so kind as to include primary stat when posting skillup numbers? This is the only way I can see to monitor the difficulty factor of a particular tradeskill. If a difficulty factor has indeed been modified, then it would suggest that it is worth it to commit those aa's to increasing stats.

[Mystic Lioness]

My primary stat is Wisdom - at 415. I can thow my magelo link in my sig as well.

Last night I went 227 to 236 in pottery. I was averaging just under 20 combines per skillup from 217 to 236.
