Title: batching materials - smelting : was stuck at 54 until quitting and reloading the client
Reproduction Rate: unknown
Blocker? Yes
Details: My skill level for batching materials - smelting is stuck at 54
Steps to Reproduce: I had batching and swift refine both at exactly the same level - 40, so they would increase identically. I decided to raise these a bit while making some gold ingots. Once batching hit 54, it stopped, while swift refine continued to increase - zoning and using a different crafting station didn't help un-stick it, nor does setting it to maintain and then back to learn - or setting swift refine to maintain and only batching to increase. Luckily, crafting EXP doesn't appear to be consumed on this stuck skill (tested by setting everything else to maintain.

Update: completely quitting the game and reloading fixed this.

Let us know if this becomes a trend, or if you find something that triggers this. Can't say I've seen this one yet myself.

@Echondas Make sure you are creating more than 1 ingot at a time. Batch only raises when you are actually making batches of 2 or more.

 

Thanks! Yep - I was definitely doing batches.

@Lexie Yeah.. I know this is an odd one.. I didn't delete it because it DID happen - although like I mentioned a client restart fixed it.
