Tradeskills - is this normal?
I'm working on tailoring. At this point my only options are variations of one type of armor. I know it's a steep hill to climb. It can cost a lot, ingredients are time consuming to gather etc. but I'm wondering if it's normal to make 20 attempts and not get a single skill point.
The last 3 skill points required a total of 35 tries. If it's perfectly normal, I'll suck it up and /or slit my wrists but just making sure there isn't some problem. Any tips on how to raise chances of gaining skill points are very welcome. | ||

It's normal. I can't remember who posted it but I read something a few years back where someone tried over 250 combines for a single skill up.

Tradeskills are a plat sink, don't do them if your goal is high skill and don't have 20-40k plat.
As mentioned above get as much int or wis as possible. Str works for blacksmithing I believe. Find an enchanter to buff your int/wis. your goal is 255 stat. I actually keep gear in my bank for tradeskill training that has high wis or int but I wouldn't use it combat.

In my experience most crafters reached high skill fastest when they had a guild that fed them mats. Gathering all the mats yourself will take a vast amount of time and resources, setting you back thousands of plats and hours on top of hours farming them. | |||

Tradeskills?
Let me follow up with a question. At the higher levels, are there better skill up chances with different combines? Example Arctic Wyvern vs. Cobalt Drake? Assuming the same trivial value. Or is it same skill up % regardless of rcecipe, at the mercy of the RNG?
Thanks. | ||

I think its based on the trivial level and char skill level only.
There is an equation in the wiki (Wiki:tradeskills) but I think its just a guess. I did grandmaster level several times and near the top end I was happy with the rare 1-in-20 skill up. | ||

Literally the only thing that impacts your skill up chance is your Intelligence/Wisdom (or alternate stats like Strength for blacksmithing). If you want to increase your skill-up rate you need to shop for some tradeskill gear and/or get an Enchanter buff.
