Ok, I've been getting a LOT of Moderate successes in experimentation using all high quality resources, a 44.5 (approximately) crafting station and a 15.00 crafting tool. This is also done in a Research Center city.

Is this kind of thing normal or am I just special in my suckiness?

And yes, I'm a Master WS.

Also, is it normal for a maxed damage experimentation to have the same stats as an experimentation ending in 2 boxes not lit up while using the same materials? Hell, I made some scythes last night and one of the unmaxed (is this a word??) scythes was better than a maxed one using the same cores.

Bleh...not to mention I couldn't max out ANY Nym enhanced knucklers last night. 2 great experiments in a row on damage = 2 boxes left. Lovely.

They happen and are a fact of life I have learnt to live with the frustration. afaik nothing is broken of late (what kinda % you been roughly getting these?). You might want to try spending your points in smaller steps or one by one etc and some weapons are jsut buggers to get a run of all greats on.

This happens too (a little rarer for me tho) its probably best to /bug the occurence etc as well (including the serial number for the weapon may or may not help, but its what I do).

To max out the dmg usually require all great experiments anythingless and you are going to be looking at a sub-par weapon (even good isn't all that good). Amazing successes can sometime's have a better effect but its not always noticable.

lol thanks for the response. I'm still new to WS but digging it. But damn I was pissed that night!

hehe I find some nights just seem to go well and others I just wish I logged out . Just recently tho the special schematic weapons have proven very troublesome indeed!
