Possible bug: Skinning.

[corpus]

Just curious, has anyone had trouble getting any skinning skill since the last patch? I am at like, 8 skinning skill, had to have skinned over 30-40 skeletons earlier last night and didnt gain a single .1 anyone else noticing this? or should I petition a gm?

I've got my skin ~35...and it has taken forever. Skinning is slow as hell, and I've yet to see any change in the skill whatsoever. Hopefully 50+ I'll notice something.

Haven't noticed myself whether I'm still getting points or not.

You need a minimum skinning for some mobs. Not sure about skeletons; had you gotten points from skinning them before?

Best bet is to report it and find out, I suppose.

skinning is just like crafting you need to move to harder mobs and skin them.

I fail like 90% of the time when skinning skellies and goblins, yet I almost always hit when skinning cave bears.

I get no gains from gobbies / skellies either.

I think its a way to prevent people from skinning goblins into high levels of skinning.

Find a harder mob and skin it.

you mean like grinding chain up to 75?

[keeperofstars]

you mean like grinding chain up to 75?

just like grinding flying snakes up to 40 skinning. Yes.

and you can grind chain up to 75, but you wasted a ton of mats as you get better skill gains, breaking crafting teirs.

once you hit 50 you should change to previously opened teir.

Not saying he can't get skill gains from goblins just saying the harder the mob the better the random success rates seem, and the better your skinning goes up.

Aktaros are good to skin as well.

Skeleton's don't have skin silly

It's mainly a matter of numbers imho. I still gain from goblins (36.2 skill)

I gained since yesterday +.2 from like 40+ skinned Black Knights.

But as said it's more a matter of successful attempts than what mob you skin imho. It's not implausible to think about a relationship between mob rank and chance, hover so far i haven't found any.

It's a fucking hard to rise skill, and with 36.0 skill i failed on the Knights like 10+ times in a row. Only to get with 36.1 skill a chance of roughly 1/5

So seemingly mobs are diffrent hard to skin successfully. Especially on animals you almost never fail. However i don't have the feeling i do gain better on harder skins, most likely because you fail far more often.
