Doing Aid Grimel Tailoring Tunic at 220 vs waiting till max skill

[Plethra]

Don't Matter

Yes, I was the unlucky one on Morell Thule who went 0/19 before succeeding on my 20th attempt. First couple of combines was around 240 with mod, then decided to max Tailoring first (what a crock).

As for getting your skill up, I would obviously say your gonna succeed within 5 attempts, give or take a couple with skill 220+ mods or higher. I doubt you will hear many going more then 7 combines without success. Hearing many many folks go 1/1, 1/2, 2/4, etc. with skill 220+mod, and then recalling my failures with my skill, I seriously considered deleting my character.

Now, on the upside, I finally got enuf sanity to finish my second earring, and made the Tunic on first attempt. So over all, I am 2/21. And thank you for not ever having to do that combine again.

Woot, grats hun! I did my 2nd ear as well (got the robe on try #3). Hubby was one lucky gun - got his robe on the first try.

[Tingteng]

Made mine first attempt with 220 + mod yay

bye bye tailoring

[Kahmon]

It took me 5 tries per ear and I even failed 1 curing agent. (all at 250)

[Krushum Gudended]

im 0/6 at 228 + 5% (239) skill

RNG hates me

[Aluaeia]

I made mine first try at 220 raw skill

WTS 2 obsidianwood saps :/

[Krushum Gudended]

1/8, and I vow never to do another tailoring combine again

[Jora_Delossian]

I'm 0/8 so far at 227 plus geerlok. I'm shooting for 235 before I try again, but I am ready to rip my hair out. I hate hate hate hate hate Aid Grimel, and I hope he and all his halfling cousins in Rivervale die of the plague.

Did mine at 220 and haven't touched tailoring since. I did however fail the featherwood bow part the first time so i was 1/2 out of that one.

I'd raise fletching to 250 first personally.

[KyrosKrane]

1/4 here on the robe, though most everything else went smoothly. The JC combines were a bit irritating; I think I failed that once or twice, but I remember the smithing, pottery and fletching were 1/1. I did the baking and brewing stuff by the stack for stat food and drink, so I didn't really monitor success rates there.

[Abazagaroth]

1 for 3 at 220 + geerlok. Cost me 240kpp for 9 saps, but worth every penny (what else am I going to use plat on? =P).

[Iumiena]

1st try with 252 effective skill on the first earring. 5 failures on the second earring so far.

[Abazagaroth]

1 for 1 on my second earring, 232 skill + 5% mod for 243 effective skill.

[KyrosKrane]

When making my second earring, I went 1 for 2 on the robe.

[Merts]

I made 4 attempts at the fire undergarment tunic before I succeeded on the combine.

1st try 220 + 5% = Failure
2nd try 227 +5% = Failure
3rd try 230 + 5% = Failure
4th try 232 + 5% = Success

The sap farming drove me crazy, and it was very frustrating failing on it. I can only imagine the frustration for people who fail 10+ times. A guildmate of mine succeeded on his 12th try, having 252 modified skill for several of them.

I would say try the combine around 230 raw skill from my experiences.

If i may give a quick shout, i got 9 saps from people helping me get through this, thanks Darkmine, Sammwize, Biggbomb, Puudar, Seethel. And thanks Reini, Diablerie, Talura, and the previous people for helping me farm the other three saps.
