Wrong.
You are missing the *10 to the stat. Basically it's redundant because the 10 multiplier and the 10 divisor cancel out. Just gonna use your first example:
240 / (2 * 1) = 120%
This means every successful combine on a difficulty 2 tradeskill with 255 WIS/INT, will pass check 1.
Which brings you onward to check 2. Which is determined by your current skill. If your skilll is 190+ it's a flat 5%.
But honestly outside of JC/Alchemy and niche Tailoring stuff, tradeskills are useless on a Velious locked server. Once Luclin or PoP release they all actually start to have value.

Doh! Careless of me, and now it makes sense that Pass #1 would be easier than Pass #2.
And trade skills are useful as a tear soaked badge of honor!
Fixed Pass #1 formulas:
Quote:
Pass #1 values:
Successful Combine w/ 255 wisdom, tradeskill difficulty = 2:
((240 * 10) / (2 * 1)) / 10 = 120% chance for skill up
Successful Combine w/ 255 wisdom, tradeskill difficulty = 4:
((240 * 10) / (4 * 1)) / 10 = 60% chance for skill up
Failed Combine w/ 255 wisdom, tradeskill difficulty = 2:
((240 * 10) / (2 * 2)) / 10 = 60% chance for skill up
Failed Combine w/ 255 wisdom, tradeskill difficulty = 4:
((240 * 10 / (4 * 2)) / 10 = 30% chance for skill up

Just for giggles using lower level wisdom of 150 for comparison:
Quote:
Pass #1 values:
Successful Combine w/ 150 wisdom, tradeskill difficulty = 2:
((135 * 10) / (2 * 1)) / 10 = 67.5% chance for skill up
Successful Combine w/ 150 wisdom, tradeskill difficulty = 4:
((135 * 10) / (4 * 1)) / 10 = 33.75% chance for skill up
Failed Combine w/ 150 wisdom, tradeskill difficulty = 2:
((135 * 10) / (2 * 2)) / 10 = 33.75% chance for skill up
Failed Combine w/ 150 wisdom, tradeskill difficulty = 4:
((135 * 10 / (4 * 2)) / 10 = 16.875% chance for skill up

Question remains if staff would accept this as ample evidence that successful combines were indeed higher skill up percentage than failed combines (part of the criteria of Loramin's bounty). I thought I saw in a thread you uninstalled P99, so not sure if you even care to collect or maybe donate it to a noob!
