I make a few weapons by crate and a lot of others by hand. Lately, it is pretty rare that I get a string of great successes on any weapon. There always seems to be one lousy result thrown in there. It used to be I'd get this every 5 or 6 weapons. Now it is more like I don't get a lousy result every 5 or 6 weapons. Anyone else notice this? Or am I just paranoid about the last patch?

Nope, you're not the only one! I just put a post up on the SWGcraft forums earlier today about this. For almost a week now, any enhanced weapon or limited use schematic weapon I make has at least 1 moderate success thrown in there....I can make normal weapons all day long with no troubles, but the IMPORTANT ones are getting hosed

I'm putting a hault on all important orders untill further notice!!

Actually I was surprised tonight. I looted alot of stuff off of Nym NPCs earlier tonight with my other Ahazi character. Passed the loot off to my Weaponsmith toon and make 4 VKs, 3 Scatters, and 3 Launchers with Nym drops and looted barrels. I only had 1 or 2 moderates out of making the components and then the weapons themselves. Even had back to back amazings on 2 ocassions and one of those had another amazing thrown in at the last point. Never had 3 amazings before.

Hmm...guess I shoulda read ahead some more before making my own thread about this.

I'm new to Weaponsmith, but I like it. Just frustrating as hell with all of the moderate successes I get with top quality resources, stations and tools. Even crit'd on a DXR6b.

This has been the case since publish 7.

At least now the city specializations are working, so being in a research center helps my experimentation A LOT.

I'm in a Research Center, too. I still get lots of moderate successes.

I did a bunch of crafting the same night I made the post above. It took me 5 tries to make a Ryyk Blade WITHOUT a moderate success in there somewhere. I've been WS for over 4 months, and this has never happened. I was going through making new schematics with some of the new and improved resources I have and I wasted more resources that night than I ever have before. I would craft one item, throw away the next 2 because of moderates, make 1, throw away the next 2 or 3, it's insane!

Once again, I am doing nothing different, wearing nothing different, eating polyian cake just like I always have etc, I guarantee you there is something different.

On the same note, I did make a Advanced Sword Core Schematic that was 43/43, with NO amazings, then tried 3 times after that and only got 40/40's like always.....dont ask I have no idea lol

Ive been outta town for 2 days, Im anxious to log in and see what tonight brings

I make all my weapons by hand with exception of limited schems ones. I'm on Rori so not a busy WS by any stretch. however, I've noticed that too! all regular weapons hardly everget anythin' other than great successes butlast nightI make this krayt pistol +boom+ 3 bad experiments out of 5 and I was like craaaap!

actually I had a decent night last night with exp... I made a few acklay hammers and all turned out fine. One even got a 34% slice that I have never seen. I would say I had mostly greats and a few amazings(not that those meana tremedous amount)

Something I've noticed. I get MUCH better results outside with my droid out instead of in my house next to my 44.5 crafting station. I made 11 acklay stun batons last night, crit'd one

, but the other 10 had almost all great or amazing results. 1 wasn't quite maxed out so it was .1 slower than the others.

Hell, made another 5 acklay weapons with all great results. So, crafting outside for me. /pet droid

Oh, no! The world is coming to an end! Please don't tell me that I don't ALWAYS get an amazing success when I experiment.

Think of what experimentation is. It's NOT a sure thing. When you tinker with stuff, you're not always going to get a desired outcome. In fact, you're lucky if you get something marginally good one out of every fifteen times. (at least this is the case for me when I experiment with rewiring stuff IRL) Why does everyone make such a huge deal about a higher percentage of their experiments only turning out moderate? "I want everything I experiment on to become the greatest thing ever because that's the way experimentation should work. I hate it that it seems like there's NOT a guaranteed amazing success when I experiment." Should they just add a button that says "Amazing Success" and just place that above or in place of the "Experiment" button? Or why not just make experimentation waste months of time and billions of countless resources but once you've experimented up to a certain level you can't go below that level? That's more like the way it really is. You spend time crafting a few hundred or a few thousand, orif you want to be the best a few million items and each time one gets marginally better unless you have an awesome breakthrough. Experimenting isn't supposed to always be awesome. It's a crapshoot.

Erm...you're a master at your profession. You should have some clue as to what you're doing. Besides, obviously this wasn't happening before with the comments going on. So neener!
