My hell levels are shifted

[Heimdall]

I have seen many posts about hell levels being 192 - 200, but my personal experience so far has been different:

Brewing. From 190 - 200, I had a skill increase every stack of mino brews, however from 200 - 213 I had to go 60 -100+ combines per skill point. I dont think I ever had a skill increase in less than 60 combines.

Tinkering. Went from 190 to 200 in about 60 combines on LoY recepies (all the recepies that I tried in any skill from LoY appear more RNG-friendly than others). However I am stuck on 200 for over 80 combines on innovative cams and SoL geerlocks and PoP collapsables.

Baking. Got 191 - 199 making truffles, never had a point take more than 20 combines. Did not take it above as I dont have a AA points spent in New Tanaan Crafting Mastery.

Dont know why this is, but it appears that my hell levels are shifted to 200+ instead of 190. Just a weird observation.

My brewing seems to have followed yours with most of the bad spots except 194 (/cry) coming after 200, averaging three stacks per point till 213. I went from 214 to 217 this morning on two stacks though.

Still much too small a sample to get anything out of it.

hmm. Just a thought as I don't know, but does Tinkering count as a tradeskill? And if so does that mean that it won't go higher than 200 if you already have one there? As I say I don't know but it might be worth checking into. :?:

Galathnor, Tinkering is a racial ability (only gnomes can increase it) and does not count as a 'tradeskill' with regards to 'only one skill above 200 unless you have NTCM'.

A gnome rogue could have over 200 in a tradeskill, poison making and tinkering without spending any AAs on NTCM.

Thanks for the info )) I wasn't sure which is why I put it as a question. Now I know.

Thanks Again 8)

Mine has been in Brewing. from 176-190 I have averaged over 100 mino brews per point. That was with 198 wisdom though so that probably didn't help me. At least it's cheap to make LOL.

Minotaur Hero Brews will be the death of me.

The other day, I had a little time, so set out to do 100 combines. I had 255 wis (max) and from a starting skill of 191, I got 1 skill up. Other sessions have better rates, but the path from 180 has been very slow

I use MHB because they're cheap and don't need any farming/foraging, so I can do it any time.... but with 9 items per combine, my wrist is regretting it.

Except for 186-187 brewing, I seem to have hit hell levels post 200 as well.

Hit the wall last night. Spent hours combining 10 stacks of MTP in an oven and went from 240 to 243. Three lousy points for 10 stacks of combine. This with 300 Wisdom. Before this, I was averaging about 1 point per stack or less. Sometimes I just hate tradeskills. I hope I have better luck tonight.

Seems to be. 80 MTP attempts, 60 HTPP attempts, and 35 Holy Cake attempts has nedded me 211 and 212.
