Results

5 for 10 with 213 skill and Geerlock in Bazaar

4 for 5 with 213 skill and Geerlock in PoK.

One other time I was 80 percent on combines in Pok.

I ko=now it sounds silly that a particular zone would have a higher success rate, but im going to do all my combines there from now on.

BTW have done about 40 Nightmarewood Bows and combined about 100 Darkwood Bows at this level and no bumps yet(

I think the thing that helped me was running a series of 10 rng rolls to see how many I could get over 500 ( 1-1000) if 3/4 of them are under 500 I camp out and retry before I make my attempts.

Whoa, sweet, that's a really interesting idea..... ppl think there is merit to this, or is this more of a "rubbing a rabbit's foot" deal? =) I might have to try it though, sounds quite plausible. =)

I have seen it used successfully to create cultural armor. 9/10 on BD BP's. :shock:
I have started using it myself and it helps to see what mood the RNG is in.

5/9

202 skill + gearlock
280 dex
156 int

[Moogri]

26/30 Nightmarewood Compound Bows

250 + Grandmaster Fletcher's Knife.

I refunded my Fletching Studies thanks to them.
I used to sell these for 4 or 5k each, even 3.5k sometimes, they went away like breads.

Nowadays, I can't find Nightmare Arachnid Silks on bazaar, therefore my market is broken.

hey man,

yeah, I think it's because noone really fights the spiders nowadays. they can be a pain in the ass if you're in your 50's. that's the level I usually see in PoN.

I'm sad, I don't wanna hunt spiders either. Guess I'm just lazy.
