Ok... I'm down to working on Tailoring and Smithing as my last two skills to max. Probably not a shock to anyone that those are the two I have left, but that's not the reason for the primal scream.
For tailoring, I'm doing the DE cultural, and farming mass quantities of silk out of PoN. No fail to make the silk into a swatch, triv 180 to turn the swatch into the cultural swatch. I've made right at 750 duskwoven swatches now, and have failed that particular combine 19 times, for a failure rate of 2.5%. Just a little below what the calculator says I should. Note, I have no tailoring mod item whatsoever and my skill is currently 295.
Smithing... Making MCS. The three items have subcombines of 180, 182, and 183. I have now attempted 600 sickles. I have failed the subcombines for the hilt/pommel/blade 62 times total, which means I've done those combines 662 times. That's a failure rate of over 10%. And this is while wearing 15% gauntlets which boosts my skill well over 300.
Do those bloody subcombines have a built-in higher failure rate then normal? I can understand bad and good RNG runs, but 662 attempts should have smoothed that curve mostly out by now. And it's not like I fail a lot, then go long stretches in between failing one. I make em in batches of 10, and I fail a subcombine virtually every time on all three parts. It's *really* starting to annoy me. In fact. I'm failing the final sickle combine less then those. 600 attempts has yielded 561 sickles, for a final combine fail rate of 6.5%
