  • Nightmare bow combine - failures

    Pre december patches I was doing about 70% on bow combines at 210 + gearlock with 198 dex

    did 7 combines December 8th and went 0 for 7 with 212 + gearlock and 230 dex

    Just a word of warning for those other not as masterful fletchers

      quite the opposite for me.. before the patch on the 6th (or whenever it was) i was 1/6 on nightmare bows... that was at 250 with trophy

      after the patch i pumped out 4/4 in one sitting..

        Pre and post I've had about a 80% success rate. Just did 8 for 9 Saturday at 244 + trophy.

            250 + Geerlok = 1/1 then 3/3 Two different sessions.

                        Success rate

                        3 out of 5 with a skill of 205 and a geerlok.

                        Question tho - see folks posting here with their DEX/WIS and other stats... I was under the impression that the ONLY thing that determined successes was your Skill and that DEX/WIS/INT only controlled whether you get a Skill-up. Is this correct?

                          Success Rates

                          You all seem to be very high on dex compared to what I am but, my success rate seems on par or better than some of yours with a much lower skill. I don't know off the top of my head what my dex is but, it is around 150. My fletching skill was 202 and is now 204. I use a gearlock. Here is an account of my attempts and the one difference between them.

                          12 attempts 9 successes w/C3 Then:

                          3 attempts 3 failures w/out C3 Then a low level enchanter gave me all the mind buffs they could for the 4th attempt after I could not find anyone casting C3 and I got a successful combine. Then later that night:

                          2 for 2 after getting a C3. Then the next day:

                          2 for 2 with C3 on.

                          So my count is 16 attempts and 13 success's with C3
                          4 attempts and 1 success without C3

                          Now I know that it may have just been a random statistical fluke that I got 3 failures in a row but, I will ALWAYS be fletching/tradeskilling with C3 on from now on.

                            I have had the WORST luck on these combines.

                            34 attempts and I have had 14 successes.
                            My skill is 209 and I have a geerlok
                            Not 1 skill-up with a dex of 228.

                            Tried acrylia arrows last weekend and did 128 combines for 4 skill-ups

                              For what it's worth...

                              I've pulled right around 85% success rate with 250 + 5% on over 100 attempts, so that's a fairly accurate guess that the success rate at 252 (or 255) is 85%. (addmittedly, more samples would be useful, but it still gives a fair approximation.) According to what I've read, each point of skill increases your percentage chance of success by right around 1.

                              Which means, at 202 skill, (or 212 effective w/ gearlock) you should expect to see around a 45% success rate.

                              which means success rates of 14 out of 20 (i.e. 70%) isn't terribly unlikely with that small a sample.

                              whereas 14 out of 34 (41%) at 209 should have been just over 50% rate.. and is fairly close. Again, considering how few samples.
