Where SUCCESS_RATE = MAX(5,MIN(SKILL_LEVEL-0.75*TRIVIAL+51.5,95))
The difficulty tier of the Tradeskill was some very early on EQ stuff. That was nuked some time like Velious-Luclin I believe.

That being said, I'm almost positive it was never implemented on this server. Because the exact equation was never really explained.

I'll see what I can do to dig up posts about it. But this is my experience having hit 250 in every skill before LoY and 300 eventually in every one on live.

Stats mattered a lot if you were doing combines way over your skill. If you were just doing something a few skills above it didn't matter.

Where did you dig that equation up from?
