  • 205 Skill

    Good morning. I ws just curious if anyone through their skill up ties had tried the cultural at or around this level. I understand that the triv. is 250+ but I have about 10 combines worth sitting here and would like to try for a pair of Luminant Leggings. So was curious what others may have gotten for a success rate when/if it was tried.

    Thank You.

    Are you talking about the Blue Diamond cultural? If so at 213 skill with geerlock hammer I still fail around 70% of the time. You may get lucky and get 1 or 2 pieces out of that 10 combines.

      Thank you for the response. I am speaking of the BD cultural. I have been saving my BD's from Seb for a week or so and am now ready after i get the ore enchanted to try some. I also have a geerlock so it may help a little. Even one piece out of 10 tries is far less expensive for me than to buy them in the bazaar for the 15 to 20k asking price.

      Thank you Sir.

        I do around or about 1 in 10 on DE BD cultural at 201 plus geerlok. It's really, really, really painful to click a button and lose 3BDs, but you can be successful. I've made a pair of gloves and boots so far.

          Thanks Kiz, that really puts it in perspective to where i should be. I am glad to say the BD's don't mean much to me. On Zeb Seb is hardly ever camped anymore so a few hours at the Guard camp I come away with some exp. a ton of loot and a few BD's at a time.

          On this same thought, how does the Tae Ew shield stack up on triv comparisons? Could I expect the 1 in 10 for it also? A group of us live in another nice forgotten zone CT. I have about 30 bloods ATM.

          Hey and thanks guys, nice to find a friendly place to talk about smithing. Seems not too many on Zeb want to give away information

            I personally have had more success with the Tae Ew chain than with the BD cultural. I am not sure if that was a fluke of the RNG or the way it was intended. I would still say that of the 15 combines that you would get for chain (2 blood per combine) you may make around 5 to 10 pieces, depending on that darn RNG. IF you are lucky enough to have 30 Scale tempers and have a brewing of aroun 150 or so then you can attempt 30 shields again though most likely will only get around 10 to 20 out of the 30 (IF my results are not luck).

              I've made a BP, boots, pauldrons, and a helm with 200 + Geerlok in 18 attempts if that helps.

                OK last but not least.... Is it true that the higher your strength the more successs rate you will have? And should I shoot for a 200 or go all out?


                Thanks again for all of your findings.

                  Strength will affect you skill up rate if it exceedes your wis or int, but noth but skill works on success.

                  Tae Ew is a great deal easier then BD cultural. At max skill I'm 47% on BD (95 for 200) and around 80% on tae ew. At 205 +5% I'd say you should be 40-50% on tae ew.

                    At skill 200-205 + geerlok I got 1 success in 20 tries on bracers.

                    Yes, max your Strength, assuming you're not a WIS or INT caster, then max whatever the stat is for your caster type.

                    The trivials on Tae Ewe gear would appear to be a lot lower than for BD cultural. At 233 skill I get around 35-45% success rate on BD, but have 66% success on Tae Ew gear (shields, chain tunic, sword).
