  • Any Problems on GM Augs Lately?

    A guildmate of mine has 296+ smithing + the 15% hammer from Ssra + smithing mastery 3.
    I have a 267 tailoring + expert tailor trophy + tailoring mastery 3.

    In the last week or two, together we've failed about 8 GM augs and not had a single successful combine. Based on our skill + AAs, we should both hit the success cap for the GM augs. I realize this is a low number of combines, but both of us are very leary to try any more right now. Is anyone else having similar problems with doing GM Augs lately?

    2 for 2 (glove and hat) in the last 10 days, the RNG is just messing with you.

      Bad run.

      I tried to make GM tunic and legging for my main. Took me 20 glossy drake hides before I made one of each. Only 1 GDH was salvaged out of the entire run. With the hard cap of 60% success, I should have made at least 2 of each, maybe 3.

      I've also had fletching run hitting about 1 skillup per 50 combines which is slightly worse than the estimated 5% chance when my base skill was at 270-ish

      Bug? Could be but I think Ngreth will post and say it's just bad run.

      On the other end of the spectrum, attempted a radiant cut waterflow aug which trivals almost 100 over my base skill. Made it on the first try. Bad run for the evil RNG? Maybe =)

        Wasn't the person talking about the GM Augs? (I made a full suit of GM armor with one failure on chest though!)
        Anyways... It was most likely just a run of bad luck..

          Augs and armor components have the same hard coded success rates I believe.

            Another chest piece today, it's all random hehe. Had a guildie fail four times on their BP a couple months ago, that was painful.

              At 300 smithing and master's trophy and BS1 and salvage3, I've failed 3-4 bp attempts in a row a few times now. Hurts every time, but I've learnt to live with it.

                GM aug weirdness

                OK,

                I only did two attempt at tailoring a GM aug last night. I was trying to make GM Leggings Symbol of Judgement. I saw someone buying on in bazaar and I was hoping for a success and a possible skill up. (I had been at 294 tailoring for over 200 combines.) So I grabbed two waters in case of a mistake. Sure enough I failed both which really wasn't unexpected.

                However, the strange part was I got a skill up on the first attempt to 295. Woot! The second attempt, though I got the cannot advance your skill message. OK, I though, did I misread the trivial and it was 295? I checked and no it was over 300 still. Then I thought I maybe grabbed the wrong patterns. (I grabbed both at the same time.) Nope, I did not have two of any pattern missing other than the GM leggings. So I searched for glossy drake hides to see what trivialed at 295. I found nothing. Did they change the trivial? Sure hoping that equipping both modifiers doesn't mess something up. Using the AR shears for the 15% andtrying to advance the trophy.

                Tailoring skill: 294 (then 295)
                Tailoring Mastery 3
                Salvage 3
                Equipped - Expert Tailoring Trophy & AR shears.

                Trophy started out way below me and is now at 95% to level 6.

                Any ideas? Did I misread something? Did they change trivials? Ones that I had been successful on still list well above 300.

                  Had to pipe in here as I am getting frustrated.

                  Been trying these GM symbol augs for over a week. A buddy is 299 smithing skill and has the 15% hammer with max AA's in smiting and salvage. 5 failed GM symbols in a row. Moved to an alt account with 300 tailoring and 5% trophy. Lost two glossy drake hides in a row. A guild member with high 200s tailoring also lost 2 GDH trying to make GM symbols in last week. So that makes 9 GM symbol augs in a row failed and no successes, by three different toons over a period of 5 days. We have not found anyone that has successfully made a GM symbol aug in the last week. Armour is being made from what I can see, just not the GM symbols. We are all on The Rathe server. Until I hear that someone has made a GM Symbol aug succesfully, I am not wasting any more GDH or MDS, and my poor bazu stone is waiting to have a home in some GM sleeves...

                    3 different characters over a period of 5 days is not "in a row".

                      I've had various luck with GM armors. Fortunately on Sunday I was asked to do some GM leather combines and went 2 for 2 followed by 2 for 2 on augs. Unfortunately I didn't get off unscaved as I went 6 for 16 making prepared sporali skins later in teh day. At least I made the more important combines successfully.

                        I restock my GM augs a few times a week, succesfully created 6 yesterday. (took 9 attempts, failed 3). Don't think it's bugged, we all have very bad runs on GM combines on occasion. Took me 5 tries last week to create 1 GM legs... it hurt, but it happens every once in a while.

                          on 6th failure in a row on GM augs. probably RNG, but i am off the augs for a while just as a precaution. was doing 'em for skillups, but only got 1 skill up in over 54 aug combines and maybe 20 armor combines. Did they remove the s'posed +10% modifier on GM combines?

                            Various stuff.

                            My smith is 293 skill, mastery 3 and an 8% modifier. Of 12 gm aug combines in the last few days I've failed 2.

                            However...

                            My jeweler is 300 skill, mastery 3 and a 12% modifier. Modified skill is 336. Today I failed 5 of 9 OoW augment cuts which trivial at 335.

                            My poison maker is 300 skill, mastery 3 and a 15% modifier. 345 modded skill. Of the four augs I managed to cut he then failed two of those, which trivial at 327.

                            To add insult to injury, with salvage 3 on all characters, nothing was salvaged. Not even dink stuff.

                            I've had enough. Bugged, working as intended, bad run, whatever. Sony can keep it.
