  • Mind Melt for Tainted Avalanche Ale

    I have a level 50 Rogue alt with a Make Poison skill rating of 200. I've attempted about 10 times now to make a "Mind Melt" for use in the Tainted Avalanche Ale (Coldain Quest #9) however I've failed every attempt. I hesitate trying to make more until I'm sure I have enough skill to make it.

    My question is, do I need to have a higher Make Poison skill in order to have any chance of success at making a Mind Melt or have I just had bad luck? Mind Melt is trivial at or above 250 I believe. I don't have a geerlok yet but if that would make a difference I'll buy one.

    My skill is capped at 200 until I can get to level 51.

    Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

    It is listed as trivial above 250...

    At 200 I would expect a low chance of success. Sorry.

        A geerlok would give you a 5% extra chance of success. (Equivalent to 210 skill). It will help you a bit, but a 250 trivial means exactly that, and Velious recipes are known to be high-fail.

          My Experience was about 75% success at 250+GMAS(upgraded poison GM Trophy), Don't waste your time before 250 skill. Also when you do it, make sure you have high brewing skill, and make a few mind melts, if you end up with a few extras you can sell them/ hold on to for other friends or guildies that might be doing the quest later.

            An answer to my own question

            My rogue just DING'ed 52 and I raised my Make Poison skill up to 210 now. Armed with a geerlok, I attempted 20 tries to make a Mind Melt and succeeded 3 times! I guess its a matter of the old Random Number Generator for my failures before. Seeing how the new UI interface states that Mind Melt trivial is around 322 I can see why the failure rate is extremely high.

            Now I can have enough Mind Melt to make Tainted Avalance Ale a few times.

              Exact trivial is 322 for Mind Melt. Not an easy combine, even at 250. 200 would be close to impossible.

                At 250 skill and GM trophy I bat around 50% on these, not an easy combine. I can remember trying a stack in the 230s and getting zero successes....

                  Just had 6 made, 100% success ration on the batch - 250+GM Rogue. Had some made as I am working on the 9th coldain ring and thakn god, I succeeded on the first combination, but apparently I started killling teh guy too quickly and he only dropped a coldain hea so had to make another. I'm 2 for 2 on thr tainted Avalanche Ale 1 for 2 on killing Barridan
