Tradeskill trophy not evolving anymore?

[Isoeses]

Maybe it is just a bug, but now that i have my Freshman Research Trophy, it isn't listed as an evolving item anymore. Very, very odd considering it is suppose to be 7 levels.

Anyone else notice if their's isn't evolving anymore?

I have the lvl 6 master trophy, and mine evolved 3% during a run of spells last Saturday.

Check to see that you have DoDh expansion that introduced evolving items) and PoR (expansion that introduced the evolving tradeskill trophies)

[Mukkul]

If/when your trophy evolves to the next level before you reach the next 50-point milestone of skill, it will stop evolving until you catch up. Also you must have it equipped for it to be listed under the evolving items tab of your inventory.

I do not have the DoDH expansion and have had no trouble evolving the trophies (I do have PoR, obviously.)

If your trophy evolves to the next stage (dings to next level) before your skill reaches certain checkpoints, the trophy will take a nap till the skill catches up to the checkpoint. It is my understanding the converse is true also. If you achieve a certain skill level, your trophy will speed up evolution until it reaches the appropriate stage. What was skill before and after trophy evolved?

[Isoeses]

I have DoDH, but no PoR.

I got the trophy apprentice trophy, and now it is the "Freshman" trophy. I evolved it one level, then it stopped. I started around level 130 with the trophy. When it went to the next level, I was at skill 148. Currently, I am 152 unmodded, and it won't get any evolving % when i work on it.

I sent a petition in, and they basically said there was nothing they could do about it and told me to /bug it if I thought there was a mistake.

What tradeskill level is "freshman" considered?

[Wanyen]

I'm not sure on what the plateaus are. I know that as far as getting the trophy quest, all my skills between and including 157-199 registered as eligible for the Freshman test, 200-? registered as Journeyman, and ?-287 registered as Expert's. If I remember, you can't get the apprentice until skill 100, and then it's every 50 skill points after that for stages/plateaus.

I think a friend of mine evolved a smithing trophy from Freshman to Journeyman around 180 skill, so it would seem yours should be clipping along. I would guess above 150 you should be gaining experience towards evolution to Journeyman, but that is only a guess.

Perhaps the item you are doing for skill is close to trivial, so you are gaining less experience per combine on that recipe? How many combines did you try after breaching the 150 barrier?

[Isoeses]

I will post a screenshot of my trophy, it isn't even flagged as an evolving item anymore so there is no way to get exp towards it. I dunno what is going on..lol

[Ngreth Thergn]

Take the level of the trophy * 50.
(you can see the level in the item details, or the item evolution tab)

You must have it equiped.

It must NOT be turned off (there is a colum for that in the item evolution tab, if it is not there try changing the column sizes)

The combine must be non trivial

The combine may not be more than 100 over your skill.

So...

What level is the trophy (not name, give us a number)
What is your skill
What is the trivial of the combione you are doing?

[Twistagain]

Ngreth, I think the problem he's (or she's) seeing is that the item isn't even showing as evolvable. Like, normally, it will show as Evolving Item 3/7 12% or whatever...he's saying it doesn't show that. Or I'm misunderstanding entirely, one of the two.

[Isoeses]

The item is not flagged as an evolving item-thus I am not able to she what level it is on.

It evolved to the next level at skill 148, and currently I am at skill of 154. I stopped to see what is going to happen with this item. I am making Parchment Solutions, and they are triv at 174.

Just upsets me is all, and wondered if anyone else having problems. Screenshot tonight after raids...

[Bobaten]

Ngreth answered in the other thread you posted on here that your problem has to do with the way GM's refunded your trophy after you destroyed it. You most likely need to re-petition with the information from his post.

[Ngreth Thergn]

Yup.

And I could have sworn we gave CS document on evolving items with the information that partial evolved trophies cannot be given.

[KyrosKrane]

LMAO. Ngreth's comment reminded me of my last job. I'd designed an intranet and convinced the management types to publish announcements and whatnot on it, instead of distributing them on paper. Of course, what I'd failed to realize is that publishing and distributing a document is very different from ensuring people read it. =) We had some interesting conversations that usually involved the line, "But it was published on our intranet home page! Didn't you read it?"
