Curious happening

[Dalmoth]

So the other night my wife and me where doing some mass subcombines on trivial reciepes.

Within seconds of each other we both remarked on an abnormal string of failures . I'm talking like 5 of 7 failures inside a minute from both of us. Made me start thinking about how the RNG might be server wide and when it gets in a bad stretch it just kinda sucks for a bit. We're sort of looking to see if this occurs again but wondering if anyone else has seen anything similar?

Personally, I think theres a tradeskill bug out there. I was getting higher than normal failure rates on trivial items this last week. It's supposed to be what, 5% failure on items that are just trivial? I was making metal bits. My skill was in the 30s and the trivial was in the 20s (if I remember correctly). I was getting around 1 in 10 failures. Granted, it was a small number of combines (around 40), but still it's way higher than normal. I found that last week when I was doing combines for Halas Meat Pies. Much higher than normal failures on the filleted meat combines. I bugged it at the time, just in case.

At skill 30, Metal Bits (trivial 18) should have about a 68% success rate. So, you were doing well to only fail 10%.

Just because a recipe is "trivial" to you doesn't mean you have the 95% rate. That is only true from skill 174 on.

The widely accepted success rate formula (which may be off, but seems to be fairly close) is Skill - (3/4)Trivial + 51.5.

So, 30 - (3/4)18 + 51.5 = 68.
