Ding 224. Oh, the pressure...make the voices stop. :twisted: Is it possible to get the last 26 skill ups in one night or am I having serious delusions? I don't care if it bankrupts all 16 characters....the tailoring has got to stop. LOL


Feel free to stick me in the corner.....

No. And you are having serious delusions. Now close your eyes and go back to sleep.

I don't know if you noticed it, but Mom does keep a drop box at the door to EQTRADERS - you've gotta deposite your sanity there until you're ready to perma-delete your account and characters, erase EQ from your harddrive, burn your disks and tell your credit card companies to never accept another bill from Sony again.

I heard your sanity was seen in Miami with Cher's wig. Maybe they're really happy together and you should just let it go...

No it is not and please share what you are drinking I could use it.

Gratz on 224 though.

[OberonMiM]

well yes its possible.

If you live in the arctic circle where the day/night cycles can be several months long

[Chenier]

I beg to differ - I did my last 18 points in 90 minutes, burning through all the supplies I had available on myself and my mules and going through about 30-40k in the bazaar/coldain tempers.

But I did have a stash of supplies...(various hides, tunare silk, etc.)

I can speak from experience NO it's definitely not possible...and you sound like you're about to go through what I'm going through now...

Three nights ago I was at 233 tailoring...17 points to 250. I did a bunch of robe combines hoping for 17 skillups. I got 5 skillups to 238. I then searched my bank and all my mules and found a few stacks of arctic wyvern hides...8 stacks to be exact. I thought this would definitely get me 17 points and I could be done.

Well...there wasn't enough Velium in all of Norrath that night. Not enough in the bazaar, not enough on my mules. So..off to farm velium I go...ToFS, Velks, Crystal, Vendor Diving, Bazaar, you name it, I searched for it. After many hours, I had about 20-30 stacks of velium which I "thought" that would be enough...having not done Arctic Wyvern hides "much" before to get my skill up, I forgot the horrible ratio of velium pieces to studs and ended up with enough for about 1-2 stacks which gave me another 5 skill points to bring me to at 243 tailoring.

Now I was mad...I was fuming and I was fustrated.

I logged for the night and got on yesterday during the day. I bought 250 pieces of velium from someone in the bazaar, had 4 more stacks of wyvern hides that I got from partly farming/partly buying/partly finding more on alts. Did another 32 combines (which is all 250 pieces of velium gave me after failures, combines, etc.). What did I get???

A WHOPPING FOUR SKILLUPS TO 247

*insert much screaming and hair pulling and string of obscentities and the like here*

I WANT 250 ****IT!!! That's all I want 250 tailoring so I can end my life, and move onto another tradeskill, and maybe get some aa points and forget this nightmare hell known as Tailoring...

*crumples into a fetal position sobbing*

250...three more points...250...three more points...250...three more points...

Yes, that is seriously how I feel right now LOL

Nevermind the fact that between 230ish and now I've been getting good skillups per run...nevermind the fact that I am when I equip the tailoring trophy which I already made I'm at 250 . Nevermind the fact that 250 is just for numbers...

I must be crazy...no, I KNOW I"m crazy...I asked myself every day since starting tailoring WHY I embarked on this tradeskill. Now I"m asking myself WHY I'm pushing for 250 when I'm already 250 but it just doesn't "show" it.

In the end, I feel..no, I KNOW the RNG is mocking me. Dangling that 250 number in front of my face...laughing at every run of combines I do, saying:

Muhahahahaha you want 250 don't you...well, how about 247...or maybe 248 this time...ohh, no, I know!! I'll give you 249 then you'll run out of stuff - run out of EVERYTHING and have to do countless hours of farming for just ONE skillup which I'll not give you until you do 500 combines first. Yes Yes Yes!! That's it, I shall torture you with 249!! Muhahahaha ohhhh I love it, I love my job, I love being the RNG - supreme ruler of tradeskills and watching these people squirm.

Now of course, I'm going to suffer eternal pain and anguish in any tradeskill I attempt with any character from now until I quit EQ and I probably just jinxed myself to the doom of never ever getting 250 but it sure felt good getting that off my chest. Mark my words though

I will be 250 tailoring if it's the last thing I do

My best advice to you...hang in there. We can beat this thing!!! Don't expect anything more then ONE skillup per combine session and if you think you have enough to finish tailoring, you DON'T. That was my biggest mistake, I though I had enough each time I sat down to do combines, and I keep falling short.

*wanders off aimlessly to farm more velium and wyvern hides, and try to get the last three skillups for 250 tailoring..*

Cend

[Meirril]

Maybe I should take a break from tailoring...go raiding or something equaly non-stressful...start a Gnome Paladin or something...

No. And you are having serious delusions. Now close your eyes and go back to sleep.

It was a nice thought. Now, 4 days and 80k later, finally dinged 232. Maybe another year or so, but all characters will definitely be bankrupt. :twisted:

Since going through the 10 stacks of wyvern hides I'd been stockpiling, I can't find any anywhere....so have been stuck doing the &*(&(&(&*(*)& solstice robes. I don't know anyone with JCM 3, so my poor lil 250 jeweler has been churning out about 7 or 8 chains per 20 attempts. :evil: Now, there seems to be NO spider silks or silk swatches in the Bazaar. Murphy and his *&(* law. I could always go farm the silks, but would like to get to 250 tailoring so I can get back to trying to figure out how to get my main character un-FD from the middle of PoI. lol Poor thing has been there almost a week.

238....12 more to go....oh, the agony.....

26 points in one night, yes, it IS possible. So is going from 0 to 250 skill in 250 combines. With that it is also possible to write ever work of Shakespeare if you put a 1,000 monkey in a room with a 1,000 computers for a million years. And you can also, possibly, win ever state lottery. But will you ever see any of these things happen?!

Possibly, who knows. But let me know if any of the above happens.

The monkies made me do it. :P At long last, I am now the proud owner of a GM Tailor's Needle with 250 in Tailoring. I can die a happy and content woman (maybe).

Now, to get my poor necro off the floor in PoI...desperately need her pocketpook now lol

Sure if you live in northern Alaska and it's winter.

I think I saw your sanity in Cazic Thule chasing my Sanity somewhere in the maze. After 24 hours, 40 Tae Ew Blood, 2 Fleshgrinders, and 2 Lizard Bone Earrings, still no Flawless Tae Ew Hide.
