please help

As far as I know, with the latest patch the devs took out the one Tailoring experimentation benefit, which dealt with durability. Since clothes don't decay, this benefit was pointless.

thanx for the repl the thing is i accessed the experimentin screen witha generic craftin tool and i wasnt even near a advanced machine!

yo peeps i was just wonderin, i am a novice artisan but have some good skills, what im wonderin is when ur craftin somethin how do u get the screen that allows u to experiment and make a schamatic of that thing?

How do you guys spend your experimentation points? Do you do one or two boxes at a time or just throw down the max points at once?

Hmm, I usually do the whole thing all at once. I do one at a time for special orders. If I get a crappy success I just destroy the gun. I am a semi-perfectionist..

Just damage, that is all people want, max it out, experiment max it out experiment max it out experiment. If you have points left over after this its usually range for melee weapons and efficiency for heavy weapons(decrease HAM).

Lately I've been adding enough points until risk starts going up from 0%, then running the experiment, and repeating until I'm out of point (2-3 experimentation attempts depending on the item). I've found that this typically nets me an extra 5-7% on the final quality of the item vs. doing all the points at once or one at a time. Not sure how the math on the back end is actually working, and it could just be dumb luck.

As for where they get spent, damage. If for some reason I have points left over after (like if my resources aren't as good as I'd like), I usually put them into efficiency.

Just in case anyone doesn't know, I heard that doing one box at a time, decreases the efficiency of the experimentation. Say you have five exp. points. If you do all five at one time, the success will be much better than if you do one, experiment, another, experiment, another, experiment, etc. That is what I have heard from severla different people, and in my own crafting it seems to hold true.

I also noticed that doing this seems to get better resuslts and usually causes fewer failures.

I have seen and done that if you do one box at a time... you will get a better damage but low speed

I usually do mine in sets of 3 until maxed out. If I have any left over, I put it into durability, since eff only reduces like 1 HAM point, and dura gives 50-60 pts usually. Its all about the customer.. they probably won't notice a 1-2 HAM point difference, but it it lasts longer they will rememeber you as a quality weaponsmith.

Just my take on things though

I didn't start making poisons/diseases till I reached master and now I'm just kinda winging it, what do you use your experimentation points on and what do the different things count for?
