5th Shawl

[khanntus1966]

Hello

My tailoring is at 121, and trival for the 5th is 115, is it safe to combine at 121 or should i get a little higher in tailoring.

Peace

You should have the maximum 95% chance of success on your 5th shawl combine.

Not true. Just because a recipe is trivial does not mean that you will have the maximum 95% success rate. From the success rates FAQ, the formulas commonly used are:

Success* = Skill - 0.75*Trivial + 51.5 (rounded up, for Trivial>= 68)
Success* = Skill - Trivial + 66 (for Trivial < 68)

In this case we use the first as the trivial is over 69. So your success rate will be: 121 - 0.75*115 + 51.5, or 86%. That's a very good chance, but not as good as it gets. To be at 95% you'd need a skill of 130.

That said, keep in mind that it is never "safe" in the sense that you cannot fail. As has been alluded to, you can never have better than a 95% rate of success (give or take a %, as these numbers are all inferred from gathered data).

I was using an older formula. Sorry for the confusion.

Ahhh that'd do it

I failed first attempt at 120 skill.

Best to get it up a little higher since it is much easier to get silks than those blasted wurm biles.

I failed tonight with a skill of 171.
