Hit 250 this morning, let out a little cheer, and swore not to look at a tailoring kit for at least, oh, a few days anyway...
I started out keeping track of combines per point, etc., and kept going with that through about 205, which is when I stopped doing Solstice Robes. From 162 to 205 (almost entirely solstice robes), I did 855 combines for 43 points, at a cost of about 85 pp per combine (including the average cost of about 500pp per success in about 1 in 20 attempts). Total cost 162 to 205 was about 73kpp. This was back when solstice robes were actually selling for a non-negligible amount, so I recouped some of that on robe sales; I'd estimate that I was out about 40k net.
After 205, almost all of my skillups were on Arctic Wyvern armor, with the exception of 242-243 (on two consecutive Robe of Tempest combines) and 246-247 (on Cobalt Drake). Attempted several other things (lots of low-level LoY robes, Tigeraptor, Black/Haze Panther, a few Flawless Rockhopper), but zero skillups on all of them.
My skillup rate overall from 205 to 250 was a pretty consistent 1 in 20 or so on the Arctic Wyvern (though I don't have exact numbers), so I'd estimate about 850-900 attempts there at a cost ranging from 150pp (when I was fishing my own cod, making coldain velium tempers, and being careful with the prices I bought the other components at) to 300pp (near the end when I was buying cod and vendor-sold CVTs and willing to spend more on the other components), with the average probably between 225 and 250 each. So a total approximate expenditure on arctic wyvern of a bit over 200k, with essentially zero sellback.
Add in about 200 various low level LoY robes, at an average cost of about 50pp each (so 10k more), and a small number of various other combines, and I'd say 162 to 250 cost me, in round numbers, around a quarter of a million plat.
Ouch. I never added that up before...
Thanks are due for the periodic advice and occasional encouragement I got from this site and these boards.
Three down, four to go...
