New 250 Erudite Tailor on Karana

[Degra Redemptus]

Thanks to all of your advice in the numerous posts on this board, I have finally stitched my final stitch this day at 9:00 PM Central time.

I really felt like I hit a wall at 198 skill, so I started keeping notes at that time to see how the progress was going, and to keep me sane. I have copied those notes here for anyone who may wish to follow in my footsteps.

I managed to do the 52 skill points in 826 combines giving me a 15.88 combine/skill ratio.

I felt LoY robes were by far the easiest to skill on in the early 200s, but I combined any type of pelt I could get my hands on too.

In the upper 220s, I decided to make items with more than 1 boning or stud, as they were rarely up in the bazaar. This paid dividends, as I was able to sell for more than I bought the raws for, and at this time I still have 95k pp in the bank AFTER buying all of the raws and giving up on farming. I started from 0pp with a 10k loan from a close friend to get me over the hump too as a point of reference. (Farming is a drag for a cleric.)

Here are my notes

3 Successes for a 1/10 rate (Not too bad overall. Better than it had been at 1/20 the last 2 skill points.) At approx 45pp/try each robe costs me an additional 450pp to make added to the cost of the gem studded chain.
