Success rate on Bazu and Magnetic?

[Chip194]

My 290+ trivials on my GM potter hold true after nearly 100 attempts according to the eqtrader calc.

My GM JC'er is another story. But that seems common. High trivials are a bit/lot rougher in JC. Others may disagree here, but its what Ive seen/gathered.

Now onto smithing.... Cultural seems about 50/50 as it should be as a GM smith.

But hi end Bazu/Magnetic (helm/legs/bp) runs around 90% success (I have no AA) according to the calc with their sub 290 trivials. I'm battn' 50% after 12 attempts. Poor range? perhaps. Not a large enough sample? yeah. And maybe I have too much faith in the calc here, but its held true on 90% of the items I've attempted.

I'm just curious how you guys have done on OoW gear?

Thanks for your input.

Have made a similar amount of Bazu pieces to yourself, 10-12 maybe and have so far been lucky and not failed one. 90% is probably about right, I think you just had a bad RNG day.

Magnetic had a similarly sucess rate again; very high, though probably nearer 80-85% for myself and I did make alot of pieces of magnetic (skilled up on them 246-250).

I have done alot of these items.
6 for 6 on bazu leggings.
5 for 5 on bazu leggings of flames.
4 for 4 on charged magnetic breastplates.
Failed 1 helm and 1 bracer out of about 40 magnetic armor pieces.
I have Smithing Mastery 1.

I have felt that way about Magnetic for a while. I failed 7 of my first 20 attempts and still felt that I was about 80% after that. I recently bought Blacksmithing Mastery 2. Not sure if it is making that big a difference, but my fails have gone way down since then.

Thanks guys, that's what I needed to hear. Went back to it now 6/6. I had terrible range those days apparantly.
