Smithing past 235?
 

I'm a Dwarven Smith with a skill of 232. I noticed on the Wiki that the highest triv non cultural piece is Fine Plate Gauntles, which trivs at 235. Dwarven Cultural trivs considerably higher for several of the most desirable pieces, but is INSANELY expensive to "practice" on. Are there any non cultural alternatives to getting past 235?

Wait for Velious.

uhhh aren't most of the cultural combines max success at 235?
I made stuff that was 242 triv with 188 skill.

difference in success chance for 255 skill (http://wiki.project1999.com/Dwarven_...hanted_Imbued))(http://www.eqtraders.com/calculators...r=130000000000):
188 skill: 48.25%
232 skill: 92.5%
235 skill: 95%

sooo I don't know if it matters at that point because you will already be at max success chance (95%).

If the wiki is wrong about the trivials you can re-do the calcs with the link provided.

Thanks for the info, gnatch. I'll keep it in mind.

On a sidenote to everyone...be a pal and update the wiki if there's any errors on it <3

:)

I think I would take his advice for what it will cost you to gain that little of a success rate. :p
