Steins vs Bands

[BartRN]

Noticed a big difference in skill-ups tonight doing the 2.

212-222-- 320 Unfired Opal Encrusted steins
----32 combines per up

222-228-- 80 Unfired White Ceramic bands
----13.3 combines per up


Luck or anyone else noticed this? In the end . . who cares, YEA skill-ups!!!!!!!

35 to go

[Cragzop]

222 to 230: White bands - 240 combines ~ 31 per point
230 to 230: White bands - 150 combines : I give up on white bands ....

I did not see any noticable difference when I did bands vs steins.

If we accept the existence of tradeskilling "hell levels", it is difficult to determine whether there is a difference in using steins or bands for skill-ups.

You would have to create a second identical character, equip them with the same items and repeat the same range of skill-up points to test this theory. And the RNG would just laugh at you and screw things up to be funny.

However, since my druid is nearly done putting together ten stacks of material for white band combinations to hopefully reach 231, I hope the bands give you a better chance for skill-ups.

Data point: my druid went from 221 to 231 with 191 unfired White Ceramic Band combintions last night. That's 19.1 combinations per skill-up with a Wisdom of 255.

I just did 260 white opal rings to get from 224-225. Yes.. 1 skillup from 260 combines(it was on the 244th combine). All this at 355 int. Shoot me.

I had the most luck when I stopped doing steins and did imbued idols.

Much <3 for the star rose quartz!
