I have read the post by KyrosKrane concerning Fan Faire June 2005 Write-up (Plus Tanker handout) .
If you apply what appeared as the top discussion in that thread about the success rate, you find that a conclusion was drawn that "A person with zero skill and the appropriate crafting mastery 3 will have a 50% chance to succeed."
If you check the calculator, you will find that it does not appear to function properly if the raw *success rate generates a negative number. It appears that the calculator does not bound the lowest success rate to zero, so it can calculate huge negative numbers that give a final result less than 50%. In fact, for very difficult to make items, like GM armor, it computes a value of 5% chance with or without smithing mastery 3.
Which is correct? Is the write up correct? Or is the calculator correct?
Thanks,
