Tae Chain Success Rates

[Talbot]

I am curious to see how other people fair with Tae Ew Chain and weapons.
I am at a 226 skill with geerlock, and I am like 1/15 so far. I'm not sure if I just had a really bad RNG encounter or if this stuff is just really hard to make.
Any other people have the same problem, or am I just trying this stuff to soon?

*** WARNING: Small Sample Size ***

I was 2 for 4 on Chain Tunics with 220+Geerlock (2 for 3 on shields...and 0 for 2 on shields at 210+Geerlock). I will add more numbers here as I make more items.

I've done 2 batches of tae ew shields, no other types of tae ew. First time I started at 220. I had 6 combines, got 5 successes and 2 skill ups. Second time (which happened to be this morning), I started at 231 and had 9 combines. I was successful on 5 shields and zero skill ups. 66% average success rate for me so far.

WEll Either you had a very Bad run with the RNG or I have had some very good runs. I am at around 50% on Tae Ew Chain items ATM and around 60-75% on the shields. I have seen no need to make any of the weapons at the moment.

223/224 skill, 14 combines, 6 successes, 0 skillups.

Much better than cultural or sickles, but market is flooded.

Hopefully the introduction of the zerker class will help bolster the tae ew chain market a bit.

Personally I'm 2/6 on chain leggings. I've got 27 blood vials atm, when I get 60 or 80 I'll make a good run at it. I'm 235 skill atm, but I dont use geerlocks.

[Nolrog]

Why don't you use geerloks?

I had smiths make two pieces for me. Leggings and coif. They both had 250 smithing skill, and were successful on the first try. I don't know if they used a geerlok or not.

[Utope Eljugador]

mm.. dunno. Laziness, superstition, stat loss (int), bag space, all 4? I'll get my smithing and tailoring trophies once I'm done and my fletching one eventually. But I'm not terribly concerned about a 5% mod. I'd use them if they were 10% but out of sheer laziness 5% isnt worth it (for me) unless I was 240.

Amazing isnt it that I'm too lazy to use a geerlok but I'll farm greens for days just to work on tradeskills? My friends cant figure it out either.

first time; 226 +5%
4/6 tunics, 2/4 Leggings, 0/2 sleeves 50%

since then, 1/5 on leggings, 3/4 on sword, 1/3 on shield.

Heraldic BPs are teh win however, 0/6 :-(

I typically have an 80% success rate on tae ew, at 250 skill+ trophy. However, its streaky, and I've had 20 straight successes, and as bad as 3/8. Note, I've made over 200 pieces of tae ew, and over time the 80% seems to be the average.

So anyone with 240+ geerlok, or higher, would have similar results over time.

[Talbot]

ok...I tried again and was 2/3 on tunics and 2/3 on shields. That makes me feel a lot better.

[Ragweed]

Well I got bored and tried a chain tunic. 183 smithing, also holding geerlok. Success!

Won't be doing that any more until I max smithing

[kuronekosama]

re

I've made probably a few hundred tae pieces. This includes, chain armor, weapons, and shields. For each item the success rate seems the same. I would say I get about 85% success at 250 skill + 5%

[splunge]

250+geerlok

Tunic: 5/5
Shield: 2/2

Wheee!

[Slippyblade]

216 + geerlok.

4 for 6 on tunics. Only pieces I've ever made.
