my run yesterday, 14 skill ups (stats)

[Chenier]

All on the solstice robe, 284 wis, geerlok equipped (and mules standing by!)

[code:1]skill combines robes* success or failure on skillup

215 1 0 failure on skillup
216 13 3 failure on skillup
217 5 1 success on skillup
218 11 4 success on skillup
219 2 0 failure on skillup

226 4 2 success on skillup
227 3 0 failure on skillup
228 46 11 success on skillup[/code:1]
*robes made

Did another 27 combines with 12 successes after hitting 228, but no more skillup. And had done combines before yesterday (which may or may not made my skillup to 215 happen on the first combine).

After this, I promptly failed my first attempt at the trophy. Bleh. Expensive day.

But I'm very happy with 14 skill ups =)

Not bad, not bad at all!

Keep it coming Cheiner

16.6 skill ups per combine... I'm detecting a decerase in the rng combines per skill up? Patch? Maybe? I hope, everyone get your combines in now before the rng decides to head south!!

Little Theory

I was just noticing that all my good skill up runs come after the server has been up for a week or so, anyone else notice this? I think that this is definitely an example of a good skill up run.

How can I get in on this? I want 16.6 skill-ups for every combine I do :shock:

Gratz friend. Good job.

[Raiyaeq]

Patch does not change anything.

I had 84 combines with no skill up and then 11 combines for 2 skills up. So, it's all RNG!

tailoring run

its just luck with the RNG, sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you are not. I did 800 combines on 12th Feb and skilled up from 206 to 224.
I did another 88 combines to go from 224 to 225.
Then I did another 560 combines on the 17th Feb and only got 2 skillups from 225 to 227.
So after 1448 combines I only had 21 skillups with 252 Wisdom.

Cheers

I was starting to think I was bugged. I've done at LEAST 150 combines since hitting 200, and am still at 204. Was gonna ask if this was normal. I had heard it got a lot harder after 200, but I wasn't expecting it to be this much slower. Has anyone else noticed an extreme slow down post 200?

Thanks, It was really depressing me.

No, most people notice it in the 190's. :twisted:

But seriously, it does get harder for most people from at least about 190 to 210, and then many people seem to have better luck with skillups after the 210 level or so. Keep trying, they'll come.

I knew I had a lucky streak with the RNG - so I didn't move. I had my mules go get me more patterns and then supplies from the bazaar - I didn't want to zone.

I have received a blessing from the RNG last night as well! Check this out:

All Wyvern Masks BTW..

Start: 173
174 - 1 (1st Combine! I new I was in luck)
175 - 2
176 - 1
177 - 6
178 - 22
179 - 30
180 - 12
181 - 9 (Cobalt Drake Belts, got skill up and success on last one)

I was freaking out at 4 skill ups in 10 combines, 3 skill ups in 4 combines!

Now I need to buy that Dang spell so I can get back on buying Acrylia before my hides go trivial.

[Recluse]

I'm a noob... whats a RNG?


Super noob

[Chenier]

random number generator - the thingy that decides whether you succeed or fail and whether you get a skill up or not...whether you fizzle a spell or not...and what stuff from a mobs loot table the mob actually has...how much your nukes hit for (whether you crit or not)...

everything in the game that has a variable uses the RNG...

[Greymantle]

RNG=Random Number Generator... the bane of tradeskillers

[eqduffer]

Oh that's very encouraging. I'm almost done with the prepwork for ~3-400 robe combines. I hope I have similar skill ups/attempts. =)

Congrats
