OK, guys, I'd like to nail the trivial of the tradeskill trophies. I've talked my professor in my MBA stats class into helping me do the analysis. But to get enough data to make the estimates valid, I'm going to need your help.
I need to collect as much data as possible about the tradeskill trophies. For the purpose of this study, I'm going to assume that the seven general tradeskill trophies all have the same trivial. I'm going to ignore the trophies (if any) in poison making, alchemy, tinkering, and research.
The information I need is your starting skill level, whether you had any masteries (0, 1, 2, or 3), whether you had a skill modifier (like a geerlok), how many successes you had, and how many fails you had, but only on trophy combines.
Things I'm NOT interested in are your WIS, INT or other prime stat; your skillups; your salvages; your eye color; or the phase of the moon.
The preferred format would be as follows:
Tradeskill: smithing
Starting skill: 298
Skill mod: 5%
Mastery: 0
Successes: 5
Fails: 12
Naturally, fill in the proper values for your data. If you got a skillup while doing trophies, make a new entry for each skill level -- please don't lump multiple skills under one entry.
I have about 400 data points from my own skillups in fletching, but the more data I can collect, the more accurate I can make the final estimate. I will be collecting data through the end of the week, maybe through the end of the month. If you kept records of past combines, I will accept any data from the past six months (effectively, any data collected from May 1, 2005 onwards). I could use any data, even as low as one combine. The more total data I can collect, the easier it will be to come up with a reasonable estimate for the trivials.
It is essential that the information is accurate. "I think I had this skill when I combined" and "I guess I had that many successes" are not good enough. It has to be as accurate as possible. This also means, please don't make up numbers. There's no prize here for having the most info or anything like that.
Please post below with your data summaries. If you have any questions or comments, you can post here as well, and I'll do my best to answer.
