I just can not seem to reproduce your experiences with the skill gain.
For me it has been....
More than 2500 casts
magery 50.2 --> 58.5
And meditation 50 --> 68.8 no idea how many reps on this, but it does not gain slow in my opinion.
I heal after every cast + more, so it should be about 2800 or more bandages, not counting hunting
healing 45 --> 56.8
Note these are not 100% accurate. Some of it was done before the new skill gain algo, and I have noticed a slight increase in my gains since then. The next time I have enough enough gold to buy supplies I will post an accurate account of my repetitions and gains.
And no, spending 50k, 100k, 200k, whatever the amount will be, does not give me a sense of accomplishment or satisfaction. Neither does spending a month of nights of macroing. Im sleeping.... how will that make you proud lol. 2 or 3 weeks of collecting money and macroing with the amount of time I have available would be great. No one is asking for 1 night for these skills. Just a reasonable amount of time. I really feel sorry for the people who actually want to play and dont macro and still want to do the highest tier of gameplay. I know the shard was designed for macroers, but I feel just a couple of skills are possible to be able to be made accessible for everyone, especially the ESSENTIAL ONES required for all aspects of the game(except I guess resource farming in a guarded area?).
I guess everyone has said enough about this crap now. I will try to only post accurate skill gain reports now...
Oh and about eating...
"My suggestion to you guys is to make sure you eat. I know on IN that staying full made a noticable difference in skillgain, and I know the developers of this shard were going for a more "realistic feel." I have been doing my best to eat a muffin or two every time I check my macro, so that might also have something to do with it."
I think I heard from staff that it doesnt do anything. I could be wrong though.
