Congratulations.


However, I believe you mispelled the word "you" . And for some odd reason, Your periods are not appearing at the ends of your sentences.

You may want to go back and edit that.

its interesting that you are 0/6 on greaves, i have had extremely poor fail rates on greaves myself, anyone else experiencing a similar problem with greaves?

In reference to Tribesmith's post,
I have recently made a full set of Rodcet Nife armor for my cleric and I made the leggs on the 1st shot. Most parts were 1/1 or 1/2 (very good success rate) with the exception of the helm what was 1/5.

The human smith had 239-240 skill (+5%) while making the set, she dinged 240 on the helms hehe.

My cleric (227 wis, 188 skill) succeeds often making Acrylia Breastplates (average about 3 in 5 attempts) but fails more often makig Acrylia Plate Leggings (average about 2 in 5 attempts). Yes, he's using a gearlock and yes I'm wasting perfectly good windstones. It might just be a run of bad luck, but breastplates seem to be a little easier to craft than other peices of the same skill level (I have yet to succeed at a bracer, but I've only made 3 attempts. It realy feels like a waste of windstones making a 1 sheet combine.)

On failing greaves more:

waaaaaaay back when I was doing banded (when it trivved around 180) I heard from fellow smiths that cloaks were the hardest peice to make. I had no problem with them, but couldn't get the dang legs right. Must be something about making the joints....not sure.....maybe I'm just not deft enough. I always seem to be breaking fishing poles, too.

Anyway, I've not seen the "hard leg" trend continue into other types of armor. I mostly make Imbued Field Plate BPs to skill up, and acrylia greaves to make some money in the bazaar. This isn't a hard data number, but I'd reckon I'm at 90% or better on acrylia legs, and I've been making them since 200 (229 now).
