Ok, there's bad stretches of luck in tradeskills. 60 combines for 2 skill ups is actually pretty good closer to 200, and definitely 200+. Banded is dirt cheap and be thankful you're skilling up with the classic banded trivial versus the trivial that comes with Velious. You can skip ornate altogether, currently, and jump straight into fine plate. I did tailoring 115 to 228 at roughly 100p per combine. I feel for you, but you've got it easy with smithing.
