Custom Orders..2 at a time...In a Metropolis that is a research center with Bespin port. Also I do a roll on the eyes of mesra before doing a krayt job. If the eyes say no, I tell the custome I'll be right back.
Then I try it again. I don't think the 2 times method ever failed me.
Doing it the two times method, you get the opportunity for that amazing roll. Of course you get a few moderates/goods. However when you are working with a variety of resources (top notch mind you) whats the difference on a bad experiment? I hand it over to the slicer and see what he/she can do with it.

Hehe, you roll the eyes of Mesra first, that's great.
I may have to try the two boxes at a time on a few weapons, I've always stuck with 1 bar at a time. Yet I'm only a 10 point smith so on certain guns a bad experiement can affect the damage significantly, especially when crafting scythes this is a factor. Don't think I could bring myself to do two bars on em, hehe.

Well for me it seems the fewer times you experiment the less chance of a medium success so
I use 5 points then 4 and perhaps one more. And the 11th point on condition unless I get a medium success then on damage again.
Dont seem to get worse stats and this works for me.

I use 6-2-2-whatever's left if any. I have noticed the manner in which you experiment effects the overall product for some stupid reason. This appears to be the best set that I've found for both components and weapons. I find that it is extremely hard for me to get 40/40 stocks if I do lets say 3 points at a time. I am always falling in the 38-39 range. However almost every time I use the 6-2-2-x method I get 40/40. I also noticed that same thing witha set of Nym enhanced VK's I did. I did a 6-2-2-1 on the first one(a couple moderates) and the damage came out to 165. The second VK I did 2-3 points at a time maxed out my damage bar but only hit 160 damage(all great success). So you tell me
. It would appear that the 6-2-2-x method helps increase the potential max on whatever your working on. Other than a couple experiments I did with this I haven't really done any extreme testing but it seems to be very consistant.
The draw back here is that you take the risk of hitting 6 points with a moderate or failure or whatever. However you also have the potential to truely maximize your weapons stats using this technique.

This is how I experiment:
Step 1. Turn of my mic (so the boys on TS don't hear me cursing like a sailor)
Step 2. Deep breath, deep breath, deep breath...
Step 3. WSmod clothes
Step 4. Run down to the 45.0 crafting station
Step 5. Stretch, crack neck, then knuckles.
Step 6. Sacrifice live chicken
Step 7. Hold breath... Roll the dice (2 bars)... exhale
Step 8. Hold breath.... Roll the dice (2 bars).... Moderate success...
Step 9. Stand and shout 'YOU DIRTY MOTHERF***ER!!!'
Step 10. Punch monitor
Step 11. Dump the tool
Step 12. See step 2.
