What's your assembly/experimentation skills without the bonuses? When experimenting, how many points did you spend at once, and what was the displayed "risk"? Did you happen to record the number of great/good/amazing successes you got (both while under the influence and not)?

If you're a Master Chef, you've got 100 in assembly/experimentation just from your skill boxes. I suspect that the "roll" done to determine the type of success treats the bonuses from the port/cake/apron equally with your natural skill modifiers. So you'd have an 18% increase in assembly (13 from cake, 5 from apron) and 15% increase in experimentation (10 from port, 5 from apron).

Someone with lower assembly/experimentation skill might get a better boost, since the port/cake/apron bonus would be a larger increase in relation to their innate skills. I'd be curious to see how port and cake would benefit a Novice Chef. As a Master Chef, the vast majority of assembles and experiments I get are "great success", most of the rest are "good success" with the occasional critical fail and amazing success thrown in. When I was grinding up my TC character, I had a much larger variation in the success types when assembling and experimenting.

It's possible that the crafting process's random factor requires a larger sample size. Statistics is definitely a black art to me, so I have no idea how many tests would be needed to say for sure that it's working (and by how much).

well, lately i put on my apron and was curious if there is any notable effect if i use pyollian cake and bespin port with it. I had +13 on assembly on the cake, and +10 on the port. add +5 with the chef's apron. i ranthe experiment with a crappy -7,08 tool and a +43 foodcrafting station.so......i made about 20 bottles of brandy, with the food and apron, and about the same number without. guess what. no difference (beside that failure once hehe). its all the same. Anyone else noticed that?A week ago i imagined that it had at least a minor impact on the results, but that might have been wishful thinking.
