  • ARRRGGGGGHHHHH - I hate this game sometimes!!!!

    Last night was one of the worst night imaginable for me.

    First off, I managed to scratch up enough funds to buy 2 sets of components to make ceramic shields.

    I pay a enchanter a small fee to have 2 diamonds imbued with valor, then run and buy the rest of my supplies. I stick the parts in the pottery wheel and hit combine - fail. I figure oh well, I usually fail at least one of the combines and put the other combine in the pottery wheel - fail.

    OMG, this is just not happening.

    All bumbed out, I go do some other things (like cleaning worthless junk out of the bank vault) when I get a guild message that we are doing MM. So I head off to HOH and zone into HOHB and do the raid.

    After the raid is finished, they do a TL to your bind spot. Well something goes fishy and instead of getting TLed to my bind spot, I get TLed to the zone in. Well for those of you that have HOHB access, you know there are a bunch of beasties near the zone in. Not having invis up, I immediately hit the zone and hope that I can hit my invis before something on the other side sees me.

    No such luck, apparently somebody was bringing a train to the HOHB zone in. I died. Luckily it was on the HOH A side which is much easier to get ressed to. So I zone back into HOH A and then drag my body to the GY and get ressed.

    I go AFK for 10 minutes while I am medding up and then decide to go work on the pottery step for the Aid quest. At this point in time, I should have realized that with my 2 previous failures, it wasn't going to be a pretty pottery night.

    Sure enough - I successfully combine the unfired urn, but then when I go to fire the urn in the kiln, fail. Well I had another set of combines, so I put them in the pottery wheel and hit combine - fail.

    OMG this just totally sucks.

    I am 250 base pottery skill and I have a GM pottery trophy. I should not fail 4 stinking combines in 1 day. That is just plain wrong!!!!

    *whew*

        YIKES!! I had the very same thing happen to me last night only with Smithing. 250 + trophy, working on Blue Diamond Cultural. FINALLY manage to con a friendly enchanter into enchanting endless piles of Mithril for me so I make up 4 stacks of infused folded mithril sheets. Takes him a while to med up between enchantings so i try to make some blessed full mithril armor.

        0/1 BP
        1/3 gauntlet
        1/2 greaves
        1/2 visor
        1/1 boot
        2/6 bracer
        1/2 helm

        Usually have solid 50% success. 2 of 6 bracers?!

        /sigh it takes FOREVER to collect all the bits and pieces for this stuff...

        Looking at the actual numbers it's 41%, not that far off normal. i guess the bad part was that most of the fails were one after the other =p

        Also made Misty Thicket Picnics last night, with 28/120 (23%) success rate, 250 baking + trophy.... once again i normally have a solid 50% on those. I wasn't as upset about that, collecting picnic combines is super easy.

        Fortunately it was time for the patch so I shut everythin off and went to bed and haven't bothered loggin in yet, i'm skipping a day. maybe it will be better tomorrow =)

          i got somewhere between 1/2 and 1/3 success rate on tuesday. i make a run of 200. fianlly got rid of them all and had vendor mined enough of the mandrake prewoven for 2 more runs and the beer for another run. with the vendors cleared i might find some more now though i lost the one i left for seed. it's times like this i'm very glad baking is a mass market time good instead of the really expensive single items.
