Talk:Satyr Trick
- I believe that this trick no longer works as intended. I attempted to train up Tinkering and Bowcraft and I noticed I was getting slow gains (90 real skill tinkering brought down to 60's). The types of gains I was getting were consistent with the types of gains you could expect for a 90+ skill.
So I tested my theory with Bowcraft. When I was leveling bowcraft initially in the 50-60 skill range I would get 1.4-1.8 per stack of 400 wood crafting Fukiya Darts. The amount of points gained per 400 boards would steadily drop as my skill went up. When I attempted to do the Satyr trick with Bowcrafting using the Fukiya Darts (80ish real skill dropped to 50ish skill) I would only gain .3-.4 per 400 boards, which was the normal gain rate for my real skill.
Further testing is needed but I highly doubt this trick works the way people think it does and could be wasting a lot of peoples time and effort. 5/31/13 - Mookies
Will Faction statloss work the same way as, or even stacked with, the Satyr Trick for skill gain?

- It is my understanding that faction stat loss can be used in the same way as the Satyr Trick to increase overall skill gains. However, I do not know if it stacks. Could someone give this a try? --Ceruleus 08:47, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
as far as i know, you cannot gain any skill in faction stat loss
- I can confirm that it does NOT work. You cannot gain in any skill as long as you are suffering from faction statloss --Merion 14:19, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
