Odd skillups progression recently

[shakobex]

In the recent patch they said that they had made the progression around the 180 skill range easier as it had been set too hard.

I had the usual 1 in 20 (or less) increases from 180-200.

Around 200 suddenly I started getting increases about 1 in 6, went all the way to 220 this way in Tailoring.

This pattern does not seem to match the formula given in the main tailoring section OR the stuff about making tailoring in the 180 range easier.

I realize it's possible this is due to RNG weirdness. But it did not appear that way, and we are talking hundreds of combines over the last few weeks. So I just wanted to add my experience to the data here :P

I wish I had your success!! I burned though 174 to 197 in 80 combines, but to get from 198 to 209 has taken me about 300. I'm working on trivializing the Expert Gnome gear, as the components are rediculously easy to get. After 222 though I think Im gonna have to switch to Velious leathers to get to 252. Not looking foward to that run if I continue to have the luck with the RNG that I have had lately.

I wish I had either of you guys luck... I'll trade with ya... really.

Skill ups for my tailoring have been fairly consistent. I usually do 20 combines at a given sitting. Sometimes I don't get a skillup, other times I get multiple skill ups. I would say that (from 187 to 223) I'm averaging about one skillup per 20 attempts.

My best skill up rate came during raids. I would gather all my materiels from the bank then head to the raid, during down time i would click like mad..royalied annoyed my guildmates, but i semed to get the best attempt vs skill up rate while doing this. Dinged 250 during a PoF raid early in PoP. Call it superstition, but i do all my "hell level" combines during raids. Granted this only works for skills with portale containers...
