In repeated tests it was found that if you "grind" crafting you get a skill up about every 4-8 craft runs. If you wait about 15 minutes between each crafting attempt every one results in a skill up. This makes it appear that the possibility of leveling up in Tinkering is based on time between level ups and little else. This was tested with only 5 tries of grinding versus 5 of waiting, with a variety of difficulty items, but the results were 100% as stated.

:Sample size is too small and that is likely the effect on random chance combined with a lack of a scientific testing program (ie controlling variables). Time between combines should and does not have any effect on skillup rate -- the con of the recipe has an effect, which may have been related to what you saw. --[[User:Lordebon|lordebon]] 00:15, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

In repeated tests it was found that if you "grind" crafting you get a skill up about every 4-8 craft runs. If you wait about 15 minutes between each crafting attempt every one results in a skill up. This makes it appear that the possibility of leveling up in Tinkering is based on time between level ups and little else. This was tested with only 5 tries of grinding versus 5 of waiting, with a variety of difficulty items, but the results were 100% as stated. Further testing is needed, but it seems unlikely this is random chance. Difficulty of item had no apparent impact.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.158.5.4 (talkcontribs)
