Skill gains getting slower at full 10%s

[Maximilian Lhoth]

How much longer it takes to gain, say 80-90 item id instead of 70-80? Personal experiences? For some reason I have been aware of this for a long time but never tested it.

Experimented a bit with anatomy skill (75-82.5), and this far it seems like the "average timer" for gain goes 1.5x at 80%

I remember from tailoring, was damn easy skill. Made 60-80 tailoring within a day, fast gains etc. And after 80 it become much harder. If i remember right i wasted only about 15k cloths to train up to 80, but 80-100 was 150k+.
Every skill after 80 comes pain in the ass.

But with item id, id say that 70-80 takes 2,5x less time than 80-90.

Anatomy:

1:27 am - 74.9
3:24 am - 80.0

2.3 min / 0.1%

(a break, experimenting a bit, deciding not to move to a new training target yet) ->

3:47 am - 80.1
5:10 am - 82.4

3.6 min / 0.1%

(gotta sleep, switching to next target next "morning") ->

1:05 pm - 82.4
1:44 pm - 83.2

4.8 min / 0.1%

Now at 93.6, still been doing stats.

Looks like, with anatomy,
90-100 takes approx. 20 hours
80-90 takes approx. 10 hours
70-80 takes approx. 5 hours

The skill fairies are random whores, but don't tell em I said that.
