  • 188-227 Scream Steel & Sikles (constent update)

    Im not one for writing stuff down but heres my skill ups so far

    60 combines 188-195 boots
    100 combines 195-202 boots
    20 combines 202-204 boots
    20 combines 204-205 boots
    25 combines 205-207 boots
    20 combines 207-207 (sikles 3 sucesses)
    60 combines 207-212 boots
    40 combines 212-214 (sikles 11 sucesses)
    40 combines 214-217 (sikles 8 sucesses)
    40 combines 217-221 (skiles 16 sucesses) I am now a soul beliver 355 int does help ALOT
    80 combines 221-224 (sikles 35 sucesses) Convinced the RNG hates me but i did sucssed on the trouphy at this point
    40 combines 224-227 (sikles 18 sucesses) back to my 1.5 skill up rate.

    I think im going to continue with sikles now seeing as i hate hollowshade to all ends of the earth. But as a note my calculations go like this: for one stack of ss armor 1.5 skill ups and for 1 stack of sikles is 1 skill up.

    I have been realy lucky with RNG so far and the only problem im haveing with the scream steel is the Swilring Shadows. Heres where i go for my stuff and how i kill.

    Shreking= South islands in hollow shade when owl bears own. Im a 65 enc so i run out with arcane rune on and gather about 50-60 owl bears with wind of tashin run back to a lil island that dosnt have any spawns on it and have 65 druid AE nuke... works realy realy well.

    Wailing= South islands when wolves own. Run out only grabing about 30 sonic wolves (these guys hit for much harder thent he owl bears and drops are rarer QQ) AE nuke with druid and loot.

    Swirling shadows= run around the far north enternce to tunnels where the lesser shades pop killing everything took, with two people 5 hours yesterday to get the 10 stacks i needed so 1 stack per hour per person is about right.

    Takes about a week to farm comps for 200 combines form my estimations. considering guild raids every night ;P

    Hope this helps

    188-202 in 160 combines?

      I had a similar average of 9-ish combines per skill point from 188 to 200 on shadowscream. Others have as well.

      Then some people get stuck on 300 combines somewhere!

      WTB better Random Number Generator /lol.

      My worst ever run to date was 68 combines for 206 skill.
      And I thought that sucked!

          on my way from 188 to current 204 (making shadowscream) i had two "hells" - took me 60+ to ding 193 and 90+ to ding 200, (i did though have 203-204 skills up in a row!), other than that 15-20 attempts per skill up is what it was for me... to those having 300+ with no skill up - god, I would quit smithing already...

            i found the best thing to do when rng is givin me a hard time (more than a stack of swirlings on scream armor) is to STEP AWAY FROM THE FORGE! CALM DOWN, STEP AWAY FROM THE FORGE! NO ONE WILL GET HURT< JUST STEP AWAY FROM THE FORGE!

            LOL

            I basicly hit the rng beast, and stop smithing for a while, maybe even go hunt shadows more, (changeing zones, and letting buffs wear off) then i come back, its prolly jus me being superstitious, but hey it works for me lol

                I hate you all. I am on combine # 316 for this point. ShadowScream is the devil, as are druids that quad over me, and dorfs in my guild who constantly call me a wizard.
                EDIT: All combines were made at 255int + a geerlock, by the way.

                        Bad for me also.

                        Saved up a lot of Swirling Shadows to do a large run.
                        Today, at 255 WIS, 201 STR, I did 104 combines.

                        I have been stuck at 202 forever.
                        So, with a huge amount of effort, got a huge stock pile and...
                        203 on the first combine, 204 after 9, 205 after just 2 more...
                        and then, nothing for 59 more combines. (206) and nothing from the last 33. :-/


                        (201)
                        64 (202) SS Bracer (and 2 acrylia legs)
                        65 (203) SS Bracer
                        9 (204) SS Bracer
                        2 (205) SS Bracer
                        59 (206) SS Bracer
                        33...

                        The road to 200 was much smoother. I will have to dig through my log files so that I can post a complete breakdown of skill up data.

                          I did over 300 combines from 188-189 but then got 190 and 191 in the folowing 2 combines. So hey, the RNG sometimes sucks, but we all new that allready. All of those combines were SS bracers.

                            I have done over 350 combines since getting 191 over 1 month ago and I have yet to get a single skill up. That is with combined Koada`dal, Shadowscream, Acrylia and Sickles w/ 255 WIS. RNG can bite my a**

                              I've had no problems with shadowscream armor......yet.*crosses fingers*
                              I went from 188 to 195 on 164 bracer combines.
                              196 - 200 on 45 combines of field plate helms.
                              201 on 5 acrylia chain pieces for my froggie shaman.

                              I did get tired of farming swirling shadows so am doing imbued field plate next.
                              I now have 200 sea tempers, 200 HQ folded sheets, 200 metal rings, 200 imbued plains pebbles and 100 leather paddings. This weekend I will finish farming LQ hopper hides and bang out way too many bracers to carry. :shock:

                              Wish me luck.
