Brass instrument skill-ups aren't frequent enough:
This was tested with McVaxius' Berserker Crescendo. I had the song playing until I went linkdead. In about 20 minutes I got one skillup. The logs say it all:

In addition to the proof I posted above, I think this is also one of those "you know it when you see it" problems, so I'd like some input from other Bards who have noticed that brass instruments simply do not level up fast enough.
Also I'll be doing a test for another type of instruments the next time I level up. Which might be never.

I tend to go to as vacant a place i can find (top of wall behind SolRo zone in is a good spot) and AFK while doing a brass song. By the time I got done with dinner and a movie I was all caught up on my brass skill.

Why is it so much harder compared to the other instruments though? I know it's still *possible* to level up Brass, but it seems unreasonable that you have to go AFK for five hours to do it.

It seems like they level up faster now since the last patch, not sure why but I did notice this when my bard dinged the other day. No clue what (if anything) was changed. There's always a chance it was just dumb luck on my part so I didn't think too much of it. But obviously you are generally using those 2 skills the most anyway so there is some advantage there. | |||

Not all skillups are created equal. Most (but not all) skillups follow some derivative of the formula used for tradeskills. And this formula for some reason creates a "hell level" from 175 to 200. But I'll check this out and see if brass is moving slower than the other instrument skills at that gap.
Meanwhile, more info on the topic. When the live devs tried to fix the "skillpoint hell levels", they broke all skillups and made it pretty much impossible to skill up with anything following that base formula, and they listed most of them. There is a thread where Ngreth discusses the difficulty gap, what caused it, how they broke it, and how they were fixing it. I can't remember where I saw it, but going by my history, it's going to be on one of these two links. http://web.archive.org/web/200010181...qtraderscorner http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq/forum.php | ||

I'm level 45, and I had no problems with stringed or percussion or singing getting to 230 (I'm only 20% through 45), but wind and brass are still hovering around 190. Keep in mind I use brass a lot - I spent over an entire level aoe kiting spectres in OOT (I do this in oasis too) where obviously using a horn is essential since DDD has better range than chords of dissonance.

I've got a test bard skilling up in the background, but it won't be as quick as I'd hoped. Artificially spamming casts doesn't grant skillups.

Done testing. Looks like they're all about the same. One thing that may account for it seeming slower, is that when actively using songs, you're running one chance every ~3.5 seconds, while leaving one song playing only runs one chance every 6. Here's the excel file if anyone's interested. http://www.mediafire.com/file/x3hm56...nstruments.xls | ||
