Skilling up the Master's Trophy?

[Greeznok]

What has everyone been using to evolve their master trophy? I have seen quite a few saying they went back to sickles, has anyone done something different?

What results are the 300 smiths getting from sickles? It sounds like 8-10 sickls per 1% from other threads? That is going to be one heck of alot of sickles and plat

It's 21 successful sickles per 2%. 1050 total successful sickles needed for 100%. With a cap of 95% success rate, prepare for 1100 combines.

I just finished my Smithing 7/7 today. Held graphics is the same as inventory icon: http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=95056

Och! I was afraid of that

At 30kish per 100 that is 330k that I will have to pass on spending, on the bright side, at least I got a 12% mod now.

You can supplement it with appropriate cultural as materials present themselves, as well as the different DoD seals.

I just decided I'm not going to bother trying to "power-level" my trophy up to 15%. It's really not worth grinding out 1,000 sickles again to me. I might do a run or 2 of sickles just for tribute purposes, but not that many.

I'll just do BD cultural, GM-DoN augs, white/black inlays, and other combines just as normal work and hope that someday I'll get up there. Only 3% so far though.

Agreed, specially I have the VT gloves that gives me 15% mod anyways. I will be taking my time on all my trophies to evolve, exception being baking and brewing since I can always use the stuff I make.

I make a lot of trivial 335 smithed items for tribute, plus lots of master's and GM armors (smithing and tailoring), so I expect my trophies will skill up naturally over time. I'm not in a big rush, especially since right now, I get no benefit from the extra 3% skill mod.
