NOT so-detailed 195 - 250 skillup run.

[Bregalad]

Level 65.
Horse
VoQ
FT4
SCM3
No MP focus (forgot about it)
Geerlok
280 INT
Spells used: Mass Enchant Gold/Platinum.

Start: 10am on Saturday, skill 195, inside the JC hut not far from main PoK bank. Money taken out of bank: 2500pp

Been on and off, at times going AFK for a while, and logging a couple times for an hour or two.

Finish: 3am on Sat-Sunday night, skill 250. Money deposited back into bank: 2400pp.

If I had one less fail, I'd be in the plus.

I began with gold+star ruby, progressing to fire emerald, then sapphire, then ruby till 207 JC.

Followed by gradual progression from platinum malachite to platinum jade. After completing a stack, I'd do next stack with a gem that was triv 6-8 above my skill.

All gold/plat was enchanted, and final combines sold at ~4pp more than component costs. A 100% successful stack got me about 85pp gain, a 95% successful stack of plat combines would be approx 22pp loss. I did not think to log my progress, really, but in the end I was down a measly 100pp.

Then I went and made my trophy on the first attempt.

well this has to be a record! well done

I think mine took nearly 10k from 200-250...although I was not nearly as willing to enchant the metal, so that may have helped some.

Less detailed:

8400pp Spent
Nothing enchanted
200-250 in 2:45
Usually 1 past next trivial rather then simply next trivial.
INT was just above 200. CHA was 118
Then Trophy on 3rd try.

This question is asking for trouble and won't be tolerated here on this board. Besides do not assume that a macro program was even used.

From 162-242 in 13.5 hours cost 6400 plat nothing was enchanted. Went better than I expected. Had a geerlok and stuck to the closest trivial Got a skill up on avg of 1 in 40 combines.

[Unidin]

I think he means about 3 hrs, not 3 mins, which would be a skillup every 3 mins. That's not insanely fast if not enchanting at all, as you can do 1-2 stacks in that time at least.

Sorry, it was frustration at the post above that prompted my post=/ I think i posted that around hour 13 in my 14hour run from 189-245... I'm not interested in a macro program, and didnt really expect anyone to post about one. I just don't see how that was possible... sorry kahmon and nimphe,

I had...
wis 205
int 255
dex 210

JC was my 3rd skill to 250. After 48 points of Misty Picknics & 80 (yes 80!) points from Mino Hero Brews, doing a 2 item combine where I didn't have to leave a room was a blessing. Just click, click, click, sell, buy, repeat.

Not to worry. We all know how it is having "bad Tradeskill" days.
