Has anyone else been experiencing extremely low skill-up rates? I just finished a session where I received 0.3 skill out of 60 synths. I am crafting at 4 away from recipe cap without support. I'd chalk it off to randomness if I hadn't been experiencing this the past few levels. Since returning to Nasomi receiving 0.1 per 12 synths seems to be the average. That does not seem right to me. Is anyone else experiencing this or am I simply having erroneous expectations regarding skill-ups? I've yet to see a proper discussion about this on the forums.

What level are you? What craft? Are you following direction/moon phase/day?

I'm a level 84 clothcrafter. The target synth is wamoura silk which caps at 88.

Direction/Moon/Day don't apply here pepsi.

Metzger, just keep synthing. When I got my cooking up towards, and over 90, it was taking me several stacks of materials per .1.

edit: my skilling up was before the crafting changes.

Give up on skilling up till he fixes it or waste your resources and energy

I'm trying to figure out if this is something that has been identified Tororu. As far as I know no one has said anything. Nabutso's reply seems to indicate that it's fine. I'm trying to ascertain whether I should hold out for a change, but I've seen nothing to indicate that there will ever be one or that this is a known issue.

There were changes to crafting but the skillup rate wasn't one of them. The hype made people think it was changed, I think. It's always taken well over 1 stack on average at high levels to get any skillups.

Since making this thread I went and did the same synth all over again. I used just over 6 stacks of lightning clusters which should put me at 70+ synths. I received 0.9 levels of skill. That puts me at a total of 13 0.1 skillups for 130-140 synths. Does that not seem absurd to you? I remember doing the last few levels of clothcraft in retail and it being nearer to the territory of 25-30 synths per level. Searching online seems to suggest a similar skill-up rate.

To put this into perspective, this would be over 130 dalmaticas / blessed briaults for 1.3 levels of skill if I was crafting at 98-100. Worse if it was crafting Dalmatica when you consider that it would be in the 1-2 skill cap zone levels compared to the 3-5 I've been crafting at.

Plus more complete breaks

You say that, but I don't believe it. And you haven't tested it on skillup's, where I've skilled 1-70 since the changes went into place.
