The following is a quote from Ngreth in a post just 3 below yours.

--Well...

I managed to find some bad data that may have lead to no skillup on the new silk!

It seems that the field that I use to give BONUS chance to skillup can actually take a negative number and make the skillup chance worse!

I did not even know of this, to even check for it until just now.

I have fixed the data, but unfortunately, it cannot go live without a full patch which is not scheduled until SoF, and would have some other rather bad effects if pushed early. So unfortunately silk for skillups is broken until SoF.

Thanks for being vigilant about this.

And, before people say "but this combine I always fail on...." I checked the entire database. The ONLY items with this data issue is the silk templates.--

So no... cultural silk combines AT THIS TIME do not give a chance for you to skill up on... your trophy can gain experience as it has a seperate sysem, but you cannot gain a skill point. there's a negative chance.

To be even more clear.

This is ONLY an issue with the silk TEMPLATES... making the silk racial cultural armor using a template does not have this problem, and even has the proper bonus for the level 60 and 70 armor.

Is this really true? I have been skilling up all the way from 21 to 93 making mostly Silk Templates, and also Leather Templates.

This is an Ogre SK in a Deluxe Sewing Kit.

Maybe it only applies for when you have a higher skill?

EDIT: nm, I saw your post in the other thread, explaining things. Good to know then, will be holding off on skilling up any further on Silk templates then.

So far the problem has only been visible on the upper tiers of combines. Think I read that it really hits home around the Fine level. According to Ngreth the lower level tiers have a MUCH higher chance to skill up normally so the bug just gives you a reduced chance at skilling up. This means that while you are skilling up on silks, if you were to switch to pelts you would see your skill advance faster. Startign with the Fine combines pelts are the only option for skill ups.

I posted on this matter before the threads got going on this. I did over 200 combines of Fine and Excellent and got zero skill ups. I WANT MY MATERIALS BACK!

and... it looks like Nodyin needed alchemy for the October 24/25th (I forget which) patch... so... I am scrambling to reverse my changes that would mess up jewelry making...

That also means the fix tot his should be in at that patch.

Does that mean the old recipes for seals will be disabled this patch(and books for the new ones in place)? Oh, and I guess sickle/sceptre trivials dropped too.

Frankly I do not remember.

And... the fires may have delayed the patch...
