Did I win the negative lottery or could the calculator be wrong?

I am a 158 Tailor working on velious leathers. In particular artic wyvern caps.
I punched up the trusty calculator for 252 comine at 158 skill with 230 wisdom. It returned ~20% chance of success. I deemed the to be acceptable and expected to make a hat in 4-8 combines. 24 combines later i finally make the hat. Does the rng just hate me or is this particular recipe at a much harder skill level.


Also if anyone knows a better way to raise skill post 158 on progression for an ogur let me know.

Einstein said "God does not play dice". (Although Hawking may disagree.)

Sounds like the RNG was being, well, random. You are going to get abysmal runs like that. I can only give you this warning: in tailoring things are always darkest right before they go pitch black.

Weren't Acrtic wyvern armors triv 300+ before DoN release. Interesting. I wonder if they are going to reduce the triv's on the progression servers without telling anyone.

Trivials are already reduced. They are 252 for all velious tailoring. It's one of those global changes that affects everyone on every server.

Easiest way to progress tailoring i have fouund is to make arctic wyvern masks.. only require 1 stud, unfortunately i get skill-ups horribly slow. Currently at 187, i am only getting 1 skill up making 20-25 combines this being on a level 46 druid, wis 205.

Hey, I only get one skill up per 20-40 combines too - and my int is 325. (Or 315, or 320, something like that.)
