Recent patch and Tradeskill trophies

[Shamaeso]

it was my understanding that this last patch would not effect tradeskill trophy xp. I was at 88% on my master trophy and after patch 9%, so I petitioned and they respond they cannot do anything about my cloak losing experience. I do not even have a evolving cloak..

unless I read the patch message wrong and Ngreths post..

Hope that gets fixed Shamaeso.
More weirdness - I got a message "your trophy has evolved" while skilling-up tailoring yesterday, checked it and it had reached 12% while i was still below 300 (at 298 iirc). I dinged 300 shortly after so it hasnt been 'life-changing' for me but i suspect this is a bug.

I know where this error came from...

There's a popular cloak in the PoR expansion which requires killing five named (which aren't too hard) to recieve. Lots of people (myself included) got it and are evolving it for the stats it gives at maximum evolution are quite nice (215 hps/mana/end plus Faerune). The patch royally messed up the evolution on the cloak, it caused mine to de-evolve, in fact.

Your message probably got lost in the hundreds of people complaining about their cloak. Re-submit, and make sure to note it was your TRADESKILL TROPHY which has had errors.

[Ngreth Thergn]

it should not have...

I will have to check with the person who made changes and see if he did a blind change to exp in there.

Same thing happened to me. Trophy was at 99% (been like that for a bit since so many combines).
Skill is 294 unmod. Did 2 combines after patch and /ding 12% trophy with still 294 skill..

I submitted the 1st petition they closed with the message I stated, so I resubmitted and got basically same response back, this last one they did not even respond just closed it out

Not sure if this is supposed to happen but..
Ok, sitting on 294 tailoring unmod (keep in mind I now have the 12% master trophy).

Did the following combines:
11 Bazu Seals
1 Discordant Seal
1 Chronal Seal
1 Othmir cloak
5 Ice Burrowers Caps
3 Storm rider bracers
7 Velium hound fur cloaks
plus x1 fail on a bazu seal & x1 fail on a bracer.

Total of 26 successful combines
Thing is the trophy did not lvl at all..

Hitting over the hundered mark now for combines and still no skill up.

Just a little feedback.. please tell me if I am not the only one feeling that something is just not quite right here.

Here's your problem. If you've already evolved to the 12% (6/7) trophy, and you are not at 300 raw skill, it won't gain exp until you hit 300. It can only get ahead of you by one level (and you are between the 5 and 6 levels.)

[Ngreth Thergn]

Not sure yet why people are getting these weird effects.

I checked the Data and nothing seems to have changed... Nothing has change on any trophy except one since 2/9/06 (and the one, smithing, changed 2/17/06 ... not far behind...) The intelligent items and the cloak show changed on 6/7/06 so... the trophies were definitely not touched... so I am not sure why the weirdness is happening.

It's not weird for the trophy to outlevel you by one 'level'. This is working as intended I think.

This is actually normal behavior. The trophy can evolve ahead of you, but it stops gaining experience until you catch up. Then it starts gaining experience again. This is also Menssia's situation.

It's also possible for your to outpace the trophy, in which case it starts gaining experience at a much faster rate.

Id love it if the inverse were also true (ie: if teh trophy outpaces your skill, you were to gain skillups at an accelerated rate to 'catch up' )

[Shamaeso]

the online GM had me redownload a full file check and change to the default UI, when the xp did not change he had me call tech support, they told me it was a possble bug and to re-petition and ask for the devs to be notified....

LOL! Maevenniia has the best idea of all =D

[Ngreth Thergn]

I really could not find anything.

When you do a petetion or /bug include as much information as you can

Include the exact name of your current trophy, they current EXP. your skill when you do NOT have the trophy equiped (I.E. base skill), etc.

Include INFORMATION.

The most important part that I almost never get in these bug reports is your current BASE skill... I really need it (heck, you can give me your base skill and actiual trophy item name here)
