When does it give skill points?
- Orange 140 to 164: a point on every craft
- Yellow 165 to 177: a point most of the time
- Green 178 to 189: a point now and then
- Grey from 190: no more points
Classic rule: 100% while orange, then the chance falls evenly to 0 at grey. Green sits halfway between yellow and grey, as in Classic.
Average cost of a point: 58s 10c while orange, 1g 21s 4c at the green threshold.
