  • Consensus on AVG combines / skillup?

    Post 220 especially. I'm gathering components for a huge run at shadow scream to get me to 242. Is 400 combines about right? 600? Any ideas?

    Average for over 220 is about 1 skill up per stack of combines.

      As Tinile wrote, that's also my experience as well.

          From my experiences, I have learned a few things:

          If you go on the law of averages to determine how many you need, you will always need 1 more.

          If you gather double what you think you need, you will finish is less than half of your supplies.

          If you want to just finish off a skill to be done with it, you will skill faster.

          If you want to get your skill raised to make something, your skillup rate will become closer to 1 in 100 attempts.

          So, take these lessons and determine your need based on that. GL to you.

              You're right on target, 1 skilup per 23 combines. Hehe be glad, before the big smithing trivial change it was 40 combines per skillup average.

                  bad cross-section i know but from 227-240 my progress on sickles was two points per 20, except the last 20 which netted one point. 320 int, but go figure

                  just had to share
