Skill ups per attempts

[Naelia]

I don't know if this is a dead issue or not, but for informational purposes:

Yesterday evening I started pottery. I had zero skill. I thought pottery was pretty easy and cheap to raise, do I did not even bother to put on my tradeskill gear. (I only had a small chunk of time to play and wanted to get on with it)

I went from zero to 20 skill in 80 attempts, with only 160 int. That seemed OK to me.

Better learn that people disagreeing with you is not rude, wrin. It's just part of their right to exist.

And...your opinion on the issue of whether or not skill ups will come more slowly with lesser stats, I'm afraid, doesn't matter. We're dealing with facts here, pure and simple. Neither your nor my opinions matter in this regard.

If you want to take that as a personal attack, fine. At this point I'm already sorry I tried to be helpful to you, but certainly won't waste any more time on you.

And stop sending me e-mails please. Keep your problem to yourself.

It is a dead issue. It's well known that at lower skills, it's much easier to skill up. Wait until you get to about 190-200 range. It's not uncommon to see a "hell level" where you need to combine 100 or more combines to get one skill up. From my personal experience, with Wisdom of 310, I averaged about 1 skill up per 16-18 combines above 200.

After collecting 225 skins, I began...went from 148 to 157 on 225 attempts

Just wanted to chime in here, that I just started on Stromm when it opened, and have made Pottery my focus. Today I did some 260 combines. I was 143 when I started. Gathered the skins, the clay, sketch, and water, and figured with 260 attempts I would see some nice skill ups.

I did 240 of them without a single skill up. Then, in the last batch, I went from 143 to 151. Bleh. I really hope it evens out more in the coming levels.

Tonight was horrid..

228 - 125 combines
229 - 20
230 - 20
231 - 80 an counting..

Although this is a hell of alot better than post nerf smithing. At least that nightmare is over

Short run

I did a short run of 50 star ruby steins since I hadn't seen any in the bazaar lately. Wis was at 254, skill at 235. Got a skill up around number 45 or so. Ended at 236 with 20 completed steins.
