Cleaning Breasplates - skillup ratio?

[Ailenya]

From 220 to 227 in roughly 60 combines

another option is to pay 2 clerics to help u out, 2 corpses one at AG, one att forge, and just switch off rezzes. I'm luckly as a shaman only needed 1 cleric, and i could canni once and med. I paided the cleric 500pp for abour 45 mins of time for him to rez me over over with 0% rez. Epic cleric would work, or a level 45ish cleric with kei could do it without much mana problems. to me 500pp + whatever cost for acid and 1 hour is alot better then 50 hours of shadowscream farming.

Hey guys, I'm joining you for the first time, so excuse my lack of knowledge.

Wanted to know, what is HSM? I checked around the recipes page and searched other posts...can't seem to find what this acronym is referring too.

I've been having rotten luck on skillups too, so it seems. 40 combines so far and not one skillup. But judging by the posts here, I guess I'll go make more acid washes. I want 227 today!

Edit: Here's my route from 220 to 227. 325 wisdom.

221: 41 combines
222: 16
223: 31
224: 17
225: 37
226: 9
227: 3

Average 22 combines per skillup.

I figured the RNG would be nice to me after the runs of 41 and 37, and 12 combines between 226 & 227 was it, I guess.
