Grandmaster's Armor Initial Reports

[Suometar]

295 smithing +15%, with smithing mastery 3;

1/1 GM BP

I used tailoring to make the symbols, as I had spare hides but not spare scales...

254 tailoring +5%, tailoring mastery 3;

2/2 GM Chest Symbol
1/3 GM Legging Symbol

Updated (with bad run last night /sigh)

skill 300(345).. smithing mastery 3

GM Armor 16/19
- was 4x bp, 3x greaves, 3x arms, 2x bracers, 2x helm, 1x gloves, 1x boots
- Failed = 1x bp, 1x greaves, 1x arms
GM augments 4/11,
- various pieces, from what i remember the 4 successes were 3x bp, 1x greaves

hope this helps

[Berrew]

I was under the impression that not only were the skillup rates going to change, but the actual success formula was going to be altered as well. Was I wrong?

[Ngreth Thergn]

No.... I did not see them state anywhere success rates were changing, just skillup rates.

4 failed BP augs and a failed BP in a row! Gratz me!

Edit: Via smithing

Another BP fail, this makes me 2 for 11 on BP/Leg armors/augs. This is pure BS, I'm sorry but I refuse to believe this is just "bad luck in the RNG". Smithing is bugged pure and simple at 300 skill.

My friend at 208 skill is 2 for 2 (bp and arms), and logged me on to make his symbols. At 345 skill I go 0 for 4. And people wonder why I'm annoyed about the new cultural...

[chrisian]

i agree, there is more than likely some error in the formula. too bad i probably won't finish the thundercrest symbol quest before they fix it...

grandmaster seashine titanium bar (242 trivial) failed 1, made 12

grandmaster's seashine cuirass (386 trivial):

take it with a pinch of salt

Tinkering 253 (265 with spanner).

0/2 GM BP

[wtpooh]

300 smith BSM2 and throphy (so 315) on GM BP aug 5 straight failures (2 salvaged scales) and a success on 6th try.

291 tailor TM3 and throphy (304 I think) doing 2 GM tunics, success both times.

Just find it tough to accept that the 300 smithing is not bugged as well. I know BSM3 will make a differance but still 5 straight failures was just wrong
