more skillup data 250-300

I finally made it to 300 and will add my data. My skillup rate was just what you'd expect from a skill with difficulty 4 (per the sticky post about skillup formula in the main forum).

Mousi you didn't say what your stats were (int/wis/str) or whether you were holding a stat modifier. It appears you did 410 shadowscream and 666 sickle combines. Overall you were slightly luckier than me... maybe you have a higher strength than 350.

I used my smithing trophy the whole time, and gradually gained some AAs (and favor) to raise my stat caps so my int didn't stay the same.

I did 375 combines of shadowscream gloves and cloaks from 250 to 267 with int between 310 and 348. That's 22 combines per point. The very last combine of my very last run of 30 before giving up dinged me to 267, leaving zero leftover ingredients.
Result: 22 combines per skillup.

I did 46 miscellaneous combines for 2 skillups... one on a Master's Moonglade Vambraces and one on a Hurricane Chain Gloves. Int varied from 310 to 348.
Result: 23 combines per skillup.

I used roughly 111 stacks of imbued emeralds to make roughly 720 mistletoe cutting sickle combines with 348 int for 30 skillups. That's not exact... I kinda lost track somewhere after the first ten thousand subcombines.
Result: 24 combines per skillup.

Edit: I had worked up to the last minute before the patch. I had one failure making a blessed hilt in the last set so I was running to the brew barrel to make one last mistletoe temper as the server went down... but didn't make it. This morning I logged in, made the temper, made the hilt, and made my very last sickle... ding 300! Once again, no leftover ingredients.
Result: 1 combine per skillup.

Now all I have to do is figure out a use for 628 mistletoe cutting sickles.

If anyone is counting, I used Wunshi's to bump me up to 415 Str. Took me 699 combines of Sickles. I'd say the margin of error on that is +40 combines I might not have recorded.

Now all I have to do is figure out a use for 628 mistletoe cutting sickles.

1) Great guild tribute. - or-
2) Sell for 100 plat in bazaar - along with SRES and CSR so that more people get earring for their alts - so I can sell more Blessed fishing Rods for full price!

(so I can spend it all getting to 300 myself)

after patch didnt drop trivials .. this time around - dumped 100 sickles and 100 robes onto my traders last night - /ooc'd i had a large quantity at just 150pp per sickle and 35pp per robe - posted the tribute values of each ....

5 mins later - ALL GONE!!! - log to mule - restocked traders - 30 mins later similar numbers gone again ...

Woo hoo... i got space for more sickles now

[crystilla]

Tribute for the sickles is 1312 a piece. (I know because I just deposited 192 of them into guild tribute this weekend, maxxing out the guild tribute amount at 500k)
