    RNG being unusally good to all Drakkins?

    Other drakkins I know doing tradeskills keep saying they are getting skill-ups rather fast. At first I just shrugged it off thinking they just got lucky. I tried it myself after finally getting up the gonads to start refarming smithing stuff.

    Getting from 0-54 in the abysmal sea was a walk in the park as it always was.
    55-167 took less then 600pp
    168-222 only took less then 1 ten slot pack full of velium blocks plus the other stuff vendor bought stuff.
    223-267 happened in the blink of an eye. I used the calulator to see how many combines it would take to max out doing shadowscream to 267 and I was quoted 675 combines. Well, I have tons of humming orbs and swirling shadows left over for a different alt, I got to 267 from 222 in 348 combines.

    Now I am sitting at 269 smithing, and since I hit 267... I only did 15 combines. Are all the other drakkins getting the same or simalar skill-ups in tradeskills? Or was the RNG just being in a blessing mood?

    Has nothing to do with Drakkin. I was able to skill my lvl 30 zerker to 203 smithing on about 600 combines. It's disturbing to think how long smithing took the first time through.

      Who knows. Lol
      I can say this, unbuffed my drakkins STR is 224 (204 at skill-up run) but buffed it gets to 255 easy.
      Getting a wood elf to 300 smithing took ~ month and probably just short of, or a little more then 3K combines. I am still working on my HIE smithing... it is proving to be a dead beat skill-up rate too. Tho the HIE market is so flooded with smithed gear, I do not have it on a high priority. My human who has the same cultural smithing path as my drakkin... well his skill-ups are teh suk. Only at 224 after Tunare knows how many combines.

      When I heard of drakkins skillin up fast I just shrugged it off as RNG being good to them till I tried it. Maybe the RNG is finally giving me a long overdue break. But I am liking it. There is nothing like getting a smithing skill-up every 2-6 combines, can wait to see what I get to after I do another skill-up run once I get 2 stacks of gravels.

        Oh yeah... one bummer about the high skill-up rate tho. 269 smithing with a expert trophy at 9%. Got a strong feeling I will hit 300 then have to destroy that trophy and do the masters trophy quest as I dont wanna do the combines to get it too masters since piles of gravel are not fun farming

          one suggestion don't destroy the trophy you get an accelrated growth rate once hit the next level so once you get to 300 smithing your trophy will evolve ALOT faster per sucessful non-triv combine... I am not sure of exact percentage but I literally got a 7% increase per combine at the lower levels when it was taking me 2-3 combine per 1% before I reached the next 50 in skill I would guess that it woul be somewhere between 1-3% per combine after you hit 300 til trophy evolved to lvl 6, then getting lvl 7 would go back to normal.

                Wadda ya know. Since making that last post. I decided to go for broke. First combine, 299 smithing. I thought sweet, but I'll never get that last point. 13 combines later. 300

                May I never make another MCS.

                  I've had realtively good luck with smithing on my drakkin as well- she's a 34 SK and I max out her INT using Cetacean potions. Right now she has a raw skill of 280 and I try to do as many Tae Ew chain as I can find blood for, then I'll do MCS (ARGH and UGH!). Last night she attempted her first GM armor, she started with 10 MDS, ended with 2 chain bracers, 2 plate bracers, one of each gloves, plate boots, and one extra brick. I fizzled once making the GM bar. =) I may start tailoring on my druid since this was so relatively easy, especially considering how hard tailoring was on my barbarian!
