Trade skills since the patch

[grizzly89]

Hi

I was wondering if something was changed since the patch or am I
just having a bad RNG run. My pottery is at 240 and before the patch
I would go no more than 20 combines without a skill up. I started to
make another run and have gone over 40 combines without one. Just
wondering if anyone else has noticed a problem.

Thanks

That is just the RNG.
40 without a skill up is fairly mild, most experienced tradeskillers have had runs much much worse than that. Saw a guildie mention in guildchat that they got 2 skill ups in 500 combines at 280 skill a couple of days ago which is worse than any bad run I ever had. It gets harder as you get closer to 300 and those last 20 points can be nasty.

I appreciate the quick repy but the day before the patch I was getting 1 sometimes 2 per 20 so it just seems really weird that day after patch it would change that much,lol.

Any more for my tradeskilling any time I am over 200 I average 2-3 skill-ups for every 100 combines I do. the only exception so far to this is my researcher. She is getting a skill up about every 20-30 spells she makes. My Shaman is getting about 1 skill up every 200-300 combines. He is at 294 alchemy right now and these last 20 skill ups have been taking forever. But the average I have found over the last several months including since the patch is that over 200 skill I get on average 2-3 skill ups per 100 combines.

I have had bad runs of luck both before and after the patch, but I also had 3 skill-ups within 20 combines last night (in fletching 269-272). I haven't noticed any big change from before and after.

Runs of 100 Sunshard ore(Tailoring):
Before the patch:
1 skill up
5 skill ups (dry spell after the previous skill up was 112)
2 skill ups

After the patch:
8 skill ups (4 skill ups in the first 20 combines)

So there is another counter example of the RNG being kinder post patch.

(Of course, I now fully expect it to take revenge on me and require 400 combines for my final 2 skill ups)
