Tradeskill caps and Velious Coldain Prayer Shawls

[Swish]

lol, yeah probability is a strange concept sometimes. Watch a roulette wheel spin 14 times red... and people climbing over each other to stack up their chips on black more and more as it churns out more reds.

200 Tailoring with a 208 trivial is going to be a 95% success rate, the same as if it was a lvl 1 combine. In fact, if it were 209 it would only be a 94.75% success rate - so it is just the right level for guaranteeing the 'best' chances of success.

People commonly confuse 'trivial' with 'guaranteed success'.

TRIVIAL refers to if you can get a skillup off of making the item. It is an independent variable in determining whether or not you a) succeed in making an item and b) get a skill up from your combine.

Success Rate is only determined by your current skill vs the trivial level

Skill-up Chance is determined by:

1) trivial
2) main stat
3) tradeskill difficulty

All tradeskill combines have a 5% base chance of success, regardless of trivial
All tradeskill combines have a 5% base chance of failure, regardless of trivial.

SUCCESS RATE = =MAX(5,MIN(SKILL_LEVEL-0.75*TRIVIAL+51.5,95))

or in this case

MAX(5,MIN(200-(208*.75)+51.5,95))
MAX(5,MIN(200-156+51.5,95))
MAX(5,MIN(95.5,95))
MAX(5,95)
95%

<insert the more you know jpeg here>

^^^^ That in summary:

At 200 skill you should have 95% chance of success already, don't worry about getting to 208.

There's no eighth shawl so there's almost zero reason to do shawl quest outside of spawning the dain

why is there no 8th shawl?
