Congrats on making 240. Do you remember what your WIS/INT was? I just hit 189, and I'm trying to decide where do go from here.

Nice bit of information. This is the kind of skillup rate I am anticipating on going for my run to 250 from 229. Collecting enough Flawless Rockhopper Hides and Arctic Wyvern Hides to do approximately 400 Combines. Hoping for about 20 combines per skillup. I may collect a few more just in case of added failures. You never know when it comes to the RNG though. I may fail to get a skillup on all 400 combines...

You did dyes?

Is making dyes a tailoring skill....if so what are the ingredients needed to make the dyes...and when do they trivial.

Wups - I meant to say ribbons, not dyes. To answer your question, no, making the dyes themselves is a brewing task.

80 steam dyes, and 60 lichen dye, took me from 162-185. spent like 13k and did the combines in like 2 hours, hardest part was the 5 or 6 days I spent farming the items to make the dye. I had 280-300 wis not sure about dex but under 200 for sure was around 160 I think on dex. I AOE'd about 1000 dolvargs, and kobalds lol.

*new recompiled data: 210 to 250 skill-up rate was: 40/1002, or 25 attempts/skill-up. Overall success rate was: 57%. Points gained on successes: 21/40, or 52%.

Assuming you meant 211 to 250(since from 211 to 250 is 1002 attempts and 40 skill ups you had an overall success rate of 584 out of 1002 or 58%. 21 of those 584 successes were for skill ups or 3.6% skill up rate on successes. 19 of 427 failures were for skill ups, or 4.4% of your failures were skill ups.

Overall, I think this lends credence to the theory that skill-ups are NOT more likely on a success, but draw your own conclusions

The problem is this is a very small data set(40 pts of data as only the skill up themselves matter) and the skill up rate isn't a flat percentage so its hard to judge what the data means. If you really want to look into success vs failure you would be better off skilling up from 1 to 150ish on a trivial 150 item and compare it to the skill up rate staying close to trivials. Then do it about 5 more times and look at the 6 tests to see the results(better yet get 5 people to do it with you). Then post it here so we can all see the results, as it sounds very boring to actually do the skillups, heh.

I will say this, the rates are close enough that I would not worry about trying high trivial items at 210+ for skill ups, so yes it does lend some credence to the theory.

Agouth,

Yes - I meant 211 --> 250. Thanks for the good catch

As far as the "success/skill-up" information, I actually have data in the post from 163-->250 not just the last 40. For even more statistics (albeit from a different skill), here's my pottery report: http://mboards.eqtraders.com/upload/...&threadid=9259

My brewing report (also to 250) doesn't seem to be around anymore :/ The success % and success/skill-up %'s on that skill seemed consistent too.

So, from 163-->250, Skill-up rate was: 88/1676, or 19 attempts/skill-up. Overall success rate was: 948/1676, or 57%. Points gained on successes: 52/88, or 59%.

Like I said, I'm convinced, but draw your own conclusions
