  • Level-ups or not

    Last night I decided to make a serious run on my GM in tailoring (it was 191). I had been saving arctic wyvern hides and velium studs for a while along with a few phase spider silks.

    My being a halfling druid fairly well equiped at 55th level my wisdom without KEI is 254. So just to be on the safe side I got KEI and any other buff I could get and before I started my WIS and INT were maxed and my DEX was 238.

    I started off on the phase spider silks (trivial at 222) and did 6 combines. I then started on the arctic wyvern masks (trivial 250+) and performed 100 combines.

    All the time I refused to look for increases as I was secretly hoping for 25 level-ups but being more realistic and knowing I would get between 5 and 12. Imagine my shock when after 106 combines I had only gotten 2 level-ups.

    There must be something wrong after the last patch to cause this. I could understand so few if I was doing 10 or 20 combines a day. But, doing 106 combines in a row and only getting 2 level-ups is completely unexceptable.

    I would love to hear if anyone else is having this problem since our last patch or two.

    Five skillups would have been what I would have expected with approx 100 attempts. Two, while low, is not unreasonable. I seem to average 1 skillup per 25 tries, though a good rule of thumb is 1:20 past 180's. You had some bad luck, but I don't see any skillup rate problem at all.

      I have averaged around 1 skill-up to every 30 combines since 190. I have had a few times when I would get 3 skill-ups within 20 combines, but then there are the 3-4 times when I have had 100-150 combines between skill points....the RNG hates me I think.

      The only thing to do with tailoring is to plow on through it I'm afraid, good luck!!

        I have gotten 4 skill-ups (188 to 192) off of nine and a half STACKS- mostly arctic wyvern with some solstice robes thrown in. But then every tradeskill I have hit bad runs right around 190, so I'm hoping it will improve..this was with 310 wisdom
