My friend recorded some numbers and made a post in the WoW forums about skilling up ranged weapons. I thought I'd post them here since he went to quite a bit of trouble and some might find the results interesting.
Quote:I have an irrational need to max all of my character's skills. Something about seeing 300, or 305's across the board keeps me content. So why does it take such an insane amout to skill up my bow?
The bow was the last of my ranged weapons that I got to 300 on my rogue and I was curious about the numbers, so I wrote them down.
295 to 296: 52 shots
296 to 297: 98 shots
297 to 298: 60 shots
298 to 299: 215 shots
299 to 300: 1151 shots
And from experience I can tell you that the numbers are similar for skilling thrown, guns, and crossbows to 300. Why does it take more shots to go from 299 to 300 than it does to go from 1 to 299? It really doesn't make sense at all. Skilling those was almost as boring as hitting 300 in fishing.
