tradeskills broken

i too have noticed a large increase in failure rates, most notably with jewelry, but with all others as well.

I am a GM jeweler with 250 skill, 255 intelligence and holding a grandmaster jewelers eyeglass.

I just got through making 14 combines of various simple velium and platinum jewelry, about half of which is trivial to me, and i failed 6 out of 14 combines. Thats a 42 percent failure rate which is way ridiculous.

I have been sending feedback each time i have a high failure rate. Since tradeskills is the only part of EQ i have a high desire for, this is something that will soon drive me away from the game as they have taken all the fun out of tradeskills by ensuring it is no longer profitable.

sorry, was trying to reply to another thread, not make a new one, and it won't let me delete this one.

Same here just did KC and got a 70% fail rate with geerlok which put me at 252.
I never had that bad!
After 17 fails straight I logged for a couple hours and still got no better.
Only thing I did different was low wisdom but since I am GM that should not matter.

The WIS doesn't affect your success rate one way or another. Weather or not you succeed on your combine is determined by your current skill level in relation to the skill level of the item you're trying to make.

Wisdom will affect the number of skill point increases.
