Tradeskills: trivial & success rate

[Honest]

Ok so trivial isnt the best you can do, I should max out before making any Black Sapphire stuff. Good to know. Thanks August!

Trivial just denotes the point at which you can't skill up any further.

As far as I can remember, the success chance for making an item is about 95% when you are at trivial.

Your stat (wisdom/int/etc...) increases your skill up chance only and does not affect the success rate.

This second part is correct. The first part is not. Skill up follows a specific formula. Generally speaking, on low end trivials the skill required to get to MAX_SUCCESS is significantly higher. At about ~180, trivial = MAX_SUCCESS Rate. After that MAX_SUCCESS starts to precede trivial numbers pretty significantly. As before in my post, to have max success on a 212 trivial you only need 203 skill. At 140 trivial you need 149 to achieve the same effect.
