Also, not sure if a superstition or not, but with tradeskills level up it feels like they do not happen randomly, but more in a sequentially grouped together manner (if that makes sense), so if you have a skill up, continue combining because there are more coming up in the next couple of combines.

I think that's the kind of thing you'll do so much that sooner or later you'll see every scenario happen, so if you're looking for a particular one then you'll end up finding it. Prone to confirmation bias. Also, early in the tradeskill the odds of succeeding are quite high so not unusual to streak, statistically.

In ancient times of Everquest, it was thought Agility was a stat that actually made a difference in how much damage you'd take. After extensive testing it was shown to not have any effect whatsoever, yet the myth persisted. It made Black Pearls very valuable at one time.

They eventually admitted it was true, and fixed it. I'm not sure in what era it was fixed though.

It works on p99, IIRC 255agi is equivalent to +32 defense or something like that. It is nice but not really worth pursuing in general.

32 defence is like the difference between ranger and knight avoidance, isn't it not it?

Something like that.

But if you need to get ~180 agi to tank somewhat better you'll suffer greatly in all other areas, notably AC and HP which will ironically most likely not let you tank better. Unless you can get it from buffs of course.

Once upon a time in 2021 someone who claimed to be Xanthro, who was able to leverage game mechanics to enter the secret GM room in Plane of Mischief for the first time in known history and also get Medris killed and myself were talking.

I asked him if he had any teachable ways to do luck manipulation.

He said:

[Mon Oct 18 20:24:49 2021] You told Fcards, 'with for example a shrunken gob earring?'
[Mon Oct 18 20:24:56 2021] Fcards tells you, 'yah'
