  • Success rate on hobgoblin surprise?

    I'm at 191 baking (will buy a geerlok). I managed to get my hands on 7 hobgoblin meat. I'm therefore interested in knowing the success rate people have had, since I'd like my characters to get beginner's magic manuals.

    Welp, I attemped 5 when I was 215 with geerlock. I did 3 on one occasion and 2 on another for some friends. I failed all 5. Could have been a streak of bad luck, not sure. I just happened to get my hands on another 40 meats. I am at 219 now, not sure if I will go for broke or get a few more points first. Good luck

      The surprises are 250+ trivial. At 250 baking, with trophy, I have a 70-80% success rate...

      Those numbers may not bode so well at your skill level.

          235 with geerlok

          4 out of 5 successes

          Tried them in the 190s and it was not pretty.

            I had the same amount as you, but I was at 197 without geerlock, but I was fully buffed. I made three out of the seven.

                At 223 or so, I made 2 for 2.
                At 227 + Geerlok, I made 3 of 4.



                Lucky me?

                  With 250 baking + Grandmaster Spoon I have about a 90 % success rate.

                              hobgobs at 192 baking

                              My baking skill is currently at 192, just next door to your 191. I had a stack of 17 hobgoblin meat and decided to try for one success for a manual. Cooked the stack and made 5 in 17. I did not have my baking geerlok active.
