How many attempts for Wu's from 131-158?

[EQPlayer]

I'm getting ready to finish up Crystaline Silk soon and was wondering if anyone had an approximate number of attempts it takes to go from 131 to 158 doing wu's. Basically I want to know an estimated number of heady kiola's and vials I will need so that I can have them all made in advance.

Thanks!

I would estimate at least 15 tries per point but have stock for 25 combines per point or more. I remember when I did it long ago it was about 1 point in 20-30 combines at that level but I had 230 or higher wisdom at the time.

i went from 134 to 148 with 60 attempts. Wis 194.

The BEST thing to do is to get your WIZ or INT to 255 first. With 255 INT I was able to get 9 skillups with 33 combines (162 to 171) during my last tailoring run.

Tooooooooo many is my answer, lol.

That coming from a ranger with a hard time getting wis really high due to lack of bank space to store wis gear

What is your Int at? The higher your int to better your skill-up rate. I got 191 to 196 last night 93 attempts(1 skill-up per 18.6 attempts) with a 231 wisdom.

Since the skillup rates were increased in tailoring, I was regularly getting about 5 skillups per 20 attempts with a wisdom around 200. This held true all the way to 158.

103 attempts at various Wu's pieces took me from 132 to 158. Wis was 255.

Wow thanks for all the advice, my Intelligence is 240 currently.

I think I'll just gather enough for 40 or 60 attempts then go from there. Will let you know how many it takes, I haven't seen it posted anywhere since most posts regarding skill ups only address 158 and up. Only part I really don't look forward to is Vials, but I have c2 now so it shouldn't be too bad.

Regarding 158+ I've seen posts saying Solstice robes were horrible for skill ups and others saying they weren't bad at all, anyone here used them solely for 158 to 200 range?

Thanks.

Yes I have almost exculsivley used the robes to skill past 158 with a few cultural and others thrown in.

The last time I did Wu's skill-up, I did 20 attempts at the Wu's shirt, was at 143 with Geerlok.

19 successes and 5 skill-ups, so now I'm at 148. (/sigh) I want my SHAWL!!! (failed 6th so far 2ce -- took me 3 attempts at 5th when skill was lower)

187 combines to go from 131 to 158 at 255 wisdom *with* a geerlok equipped. However I have a dwarf cleric friend that did 131 to 158 in 84 combines at 263wis w/ geerlok. Seems luck played a factor in this as my combines were on the high side.

Also as a side note. At 158+5% I successfully made 14 of 16 soft fur paddings, plus got 3 skill points in the process.

I just recently went from 131 to 149 with 72 attempts at WIS 255 without a Gearlock equiped. Currently working on collecting silks/kiolas/Vials for the final run up to 158 and I am assuming I will need at least twice as many for final nine points.

Took me about 153 attempts to do 131-158 at Wis 233 prior to the patch that made tailoring easier.

Only reason I remembered this was I made 200 vials is mana before doing this and had 47 left.

re

Wu's took me last week from 115-135 in 60 combines. Thats all the mana I had.

So 1 for 3 for me at 218int on the nose.

I expect the next 23 to take more, so I plan on buying 5 stacks of mana when I get the money.

If that doesn't take me to 158, then I'll switch early to hoppers and stop bothering my guild enchanter.
