This is true, but I should note (in case you, or anyone reading this, tradeskilled on live in classic) that the reverse is unclassically not true. On live, your tradeskill success had no impact on your chance of skilling-up on that attempt (it didn't matter if the trivial level of what you made was 20 or 200: as long as it was above your skill you had the same chance of skill-up). This was widely known by the tradeskill community ... until it changed at some point ... and P99 bases itself off the changed mechanic

Unfortunately no classic researcher has ever dug up proof of how classic tradeskilling worked (likely because the obvious place to find it, EQTraders.com, blocked the Wayback Machine, so there's no way to see old tradeskill forum posts). As a result, it's important to understand that here (again, unlike live) you want to always make the recipe with the lowest "trivial" level, that isn't actually trivial for you, because that will give you a greater chance of success and thus a greater chance of skill-up.
