Artistry

[Lysiia Raindancer]

I'm having a problem getting this skill to go up. I'm Lvl 16 Craftsman with Sculpting and Fletching maxed out, so I decide to work my Artistry up with some nice food. After about 50 items of various skill levels (5-16 lvl) I'm still at the same 38 skill I had when I started. Any suggestions?

Its currently a known bug. All skills except cooking ones have a chance to increase each time you use a buff/reaction icon, were as the provisioning ones only have a chance to increase once at the end of crafting the item.

Some people have had some luck (probably RNG but should be investigated) is if they stop crafting the food / drink item before it completes on its own they saw more skill ups. (I have noticed it myself but again could be RNG)

I picked up baking at lvl 15 (EQ1 had put me off the art for a while). I *am* getting artistry skillups, and I do not stop the process before it finishes. But it's slow. I've dinged 2 levels doing nothing but cooking and only had my artistry go up 8 points.

It seems to me that I was only getting skillups on a "final" product, rather than on refines, but I wasn't actively tracking it.

You'll find much more discussion on this in the provisioner forum. Try a search for "artistry skill".
