  • How close to 250 will this get me..

    Currently I'm at 202 tailoring.

    I have just finished pre-combines for 553 Solstice Robe combines and 319 Arctic Wyvern combines. I'm planning on doing the Solstice, then Ethereal Silk Swatches, then Solstice again till I'm out of components, then switch over to Arctic Wyvern.

    Any guesstimates as to how close to 250 this will get me?

    Thanks =)

    Around 900 combines....Hmm.

    It depends what your WIS / INT is.

    If it is 220-250, I'd say one skill-up per 100 or so.
    If it is 251-255, I'd say one skill-up per 80 or so.

    Over that I dont have any experience with, but after what I have readon on these forums I would guess that at WIS / INT 355, maybe a skill-up per 40 combines.

      Thanks =)

      My wisdom is 280.. I have a bunch of AA's unused, maybe I'll dump them into planar power.. /shrug.

      So I guess at 60 combines per skill up, needing 48 points, that doesn't even get my halfway there...

      /cry.

        It took me only 430 combines to get 35 skill ups from 215 to 250. at 355 int. I'd seriously consider making the combines rather than doing extra work. Personally i made 370 combines that were essentially 2 days of farming that i didnt have to do.

          Oh yes, I'm definately going to do the combines. At least the robes anyway. I've used up 144 robe combines so far and am at 213 now, so I guess I'm averaging a skill up every 18 right now (excluding the 2 points from Ethereal Silk Swatches).

          409 Robe combines left, all 319 Wyvern remaining. 37 points to get, for an average of about a skill up every 19. If my current average were to continue I could make it, but I just don't see that happening. I'm bound to hit a few bumps in the road along the way I guess.

            That's one hell of a pile of supplies you've got there.

            Good luck getting to 250!!! If 727 combines left doesn't get you there, you'll be within spitting distance...

              On my last skillup run, which took me from 229 to 250, I used 363 combines for 21 skillups. Which equates to 1 skillup per 17.3 combines. This with a Wis of 243.

              Figure on 1 skillup per 20 to 25 combines and you will have an idea as to how many skillups you will probably get

                it seemed to get a lot easier after 225, but around 113-224 it seemed hard, i used sols robes from 200-210, then ethereal silk swatches, then went back to sols robes until about 220ish, then went onto the wyvern masks.

                i had a really bad run with 1 skill up in 100 combines, but after that i seem to be doing about 17 combines per skill up also. (on wyvern masks)

                edit: this was all done with a wis of 305

                  I did almost nothing but wyvern masks from 200-250, I did about 120 soltice robes combines which netted me 4 points.

                  On wyvern masks I would get skill ups in bundles, in 120~ combines I'd get around 6 skill ups but I'd get them all on that last 20 combines normally =P. As a rule a thumb I always did combines in sets of 100-140 when I did tailoring/baking and always seemed to get my points near the end.

                  I averaged at max int(with pop aa's), around 1 skill up per 25~ combines from 200-250 tailoring. I found the robes had a beyond poor skillup rate while wyvern hide masks made GREAT skill up items .

                    Thanks for all the info =)

                    I think I am going to wait for a few days, maybe Tuesday or Wednesday, to do the rest. I found with most of my other 250's (smithing, pottery, baking, brewing, poison, alchemy notably), that skillups and successes were worse after the server coming back online. Of course with the robes, the lower number of successes may actually be helpful hehe.

                      Wow, I truly envy the success rate of some of you here...

                      My skill-ups suck at INT 255. /cry

                        Thought I would give an update. I decided not to wait until Wednesday, though I probably should have.

                        The 553 robe combines got me to 229 (25 skill ups - 1 skill up per 22.12 combines.

                        The 319 arctic wyvern combines got me to 230 (1 skill up - 1 skill up per 319 combines).

                        If that ratio holds up, I'm not looking forward to farming 6380 more combines.

                            Dunno about combines (calculator is elsewhere) but I went through 16 backpacks of silk swatches making solstice robes from 165-222.

                            Then 500 arctic wyvern mask combines to 248, and 10 cobalt drake combines to 250.
