Jewel craft mastery

[Elipson]

So I am still seeing close to no effect with this AA even after the patch. Gem studded chains especially have close to zero improvement. Normal at 250 is about 50% sucess. With all 18AAs into JCM I get about 60-70% success and I've even been so low as 50% ( I make 40 at a time and have since last patch made at least 200+ chains )

Anybody else see little diffrence?

I only have JCM 1, and my numbers on Gem Studded Chains are right about dead on.

I have JCM3 as well, and I have noticed a decrease in successful combines since I spent the AAs. I petitioned it as a bug, but havent heard anything else about it as of yet, probably wont. I have made 10 attempts on that darn Gallant ring of Valor and only succeeded 4 times. and according to this website that combine is trivial at 250, not 250+ like some of the other things. I have simply refused to do anymore of those rings. Anyway, I guess thats what Im gonna have to start doing with all JC stuff becuz I really just feel too bad when I blow someones components.

JCM 3 is supposed to give you a 50% reduction in failure rate, so, for items that normally have a 50% failure rate, that should become a 25% failure rate.

Before they messed with it, they had JCM 3 subtract 50% from the failure rate, basically making anything with a 50% or lower failure rate a no fail combine. When they tried to fix it, they messed it up pretty bad. Since then, in theory, they have fixed it.

The OP statse that he has seen his success rate go up from 50% to 60% to 70% after getting JCM 3. JCM 3 is supposed to reduce failures by 50%. So, that should reduce failure rate from 50% to 25%, or increase success rate to 75%, which is higher than the OP has seen, but, how large a sample size are we talking about?

Not having any enchanter high enough to have any AAs I have no actual experience with it, and I only recently got Alchemy Mastery 1, and have not done enough combines to have any idea as to it's effect.
