Lemming Fur backpack trivial changed

[Kaaba]

Before the recent patch that made the lemming fur backpack no longer lore, I made 10 backpacks in a row without a skill up (159 skill), it also told me it was trivial. Last night I attempted 12 backpacks and my skill is now 165 (6 skill ups in 12 attempts! woot!) so it obviously has a much higher trivial now. I also failed a lot more this time than before (like 9 of 10 before, 8 of 12 last night). It is still not trivial at 165.

Lemming Furs are my friend

I just recently discovered these and have been using them to skill up since my tailoring was about 140... they're great IMO so long as you can forage the lemming furs to make them. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with me selling them in PoK lately but when I started making them I could buy a stack of lemming furs in the baz at about 15 - 20pp each. Now every time I look for them they're at least 100pp sometimes as high as 300?!?!?!?!

I usually sell them around 450pp each which covers the cost of failing plus a tiny bit of profit normally for me, as I said so long as I'm foraging the furs rather than buying them.

Apparently they're trivial now at 175? Will find out soon enough I'm sure. Though I found out the skill up rate on them was very fast around 140 - 150... I would get a skill up / 3 packs or so... now I its much slower, like 1 in 10 if that. I'm sure not looking forward to the long climb past 190 ugh

Trivial > 174. Confirmed by me tonight. Just made one

Trivial > 175. Confirmed again. Got a skillup making 7(197 wis). Good success rate, sells well, and skillup rate's not bad.

Cool, I can actually use all the fur cluttering up my bank now and maybe even skill up on it

Trivial Narrowing

Lemming Fur Backpack was trivial to me at 181 skill. Did two of them.

As a side note- if you make one, be sure to have a top inventory slot available SOMEwhere. I had to switch the new pack with one in my shared inventory while my needle was still stacked with it. I camped with a bag on my pointer and the needle stacked underneath. When I came back, the bag was there, but the needle had poofed. Seems the engine doesn't save anything other than the top item on your coursor.

Good to know. I'm gonna turn out a few more o fthese today and see if I can pin it down.

You can also hand off the bag to an NPC or PC friend , your needle shows up, you drop needle into an open slot and then cancel the trade.

Sorry for confusion. It was trivial at 177 to my bard (blast shawl, blast dorfs).

[QuteCleric]

Are you saying its trivial at 177 or it trivials at 177? :P

Qutie!

[Katalaeia]

So, recapping the thread so far...

Trivial > 174. Confirmed by me tonight. Just made one

Trivial > 175. Confirmed again. Got a skillup making 7(197 wis). Good success rate, sells well, and skillup rate's not bad.

and then...

Sorry for confusion. It was trivial at 177 to my bard (blast shawl, blast dorfs).

This would lead me to believe the trivial is 175 < X <= 177.

What is the recipe for the Lemming fur backpack? Can't find it under Tailoring, as it seems to be part of the lost data.

[Rhianwen]

recipe:

2 lemming fur
1 platinum thread (only avail in Thurgadin AFAIK)
1 embroidering needle
1 backpack pattern

[eniamn]

i know silver through gold thread are sold in erudin as well. i think platinum is but can't remember for sure. used in erudite cultural robes. didn't know other cultural tailorers didn't get it.
