200-252 Actual Numbers

[Phelis D'Mesticus]

I did my tailoring tonight in a single sitting. To take me from 200-252, I did nothing but Arctic Wyvern masks. It was a total of 489 combines with 340 as my stats all the way down. Except Charisma but thats not a factor. Had a Geerlok equipped, Salvage 3. Failed with returns were not calculated.

Hopefully this will give u some concept of what ur up against.

have fun

My numbers not as good - congrats

I would of been VERY happy with those numbers, a skillup for every 9.4 combines.

I have Tailoring 3 and Salvage 2 atm.

I'm trying to hit 252 so I can then use my 7 stacks of Othmir fur I've been saving prior to the nerfage on the 29th. Sidenote I REALLY hated killing those little guys - when they clutch their heart it makes me second guess what I'm doing it for almost every time!

My run last night cleaning out the bank yielded one skill-up every 22.58 combines and I was actually excited - how scary is that (did 94 Acrylia Reinforced, 108 Solstice Robes and 69 Black Pantherskin - total of 271 combines) and took me from 237-249.

I didn't keep exact numbers on my run prior to this, but skillups were even worse from 230-237 as I remember one session of doing over 100 combines of Acrylia Reinforced and over 80 Solstice Robes and got only 2 skillups (the number of combines guess is based upon my bag setup).

I'm a halfling and also threw in about 40 Haversacks to help fund supplies, and got one skillup there (and a very LARGE number of sub-combine failures, especially on Celestial Tempers and BD Powder). Celestial Temper brewing trivials at 136 - I'm at 294 - and at one set I failed 5 out of 20 combines! I did manage to salvage the jar of acid 2x on the BD powder combine failures /bonk! I only wish my skill-ups were as often as my trivial failures on sub-combines and I'd be at 300 already.

I've been working on my GM DoN quest also as a possible future option - but tailoring has lately become more of a chore than a fun sidebar to experiencing. I'm tired of farming for hours on end to make items I can only tribute these days for barely a minimal cost recovery, and with the almost non-existant drop rate on Great Reptile Hides in CT for my Master's DoN armors and now Othmir furs being nerfed I think whatever my skill is after Wednesday will be it unless some new recipes show up.

Good luck to all who continue to strive to increase their tailoring against the odds - this halfling is getting ready to put away his needle and thread for good.
