When to start leatherfoot haversack?

[filobeto]

Same, the plat threads are the least of my failurs, I lose more BDs at the pottery wheel / brew barrel than I do in the forge, and my smithing is the least over trivial of them all.

The changes made to trivial failures have been a major blessing to me, I rarely fail any tuft subcombines now where I used to fail them a lot more than I liked. The 95% success rate on those before the change may have been accurate, but the 5% always seemed to be when combining the patches (loss of 9 tufts). I love this change.

I have successfully made 9 bags in a row now, with only one failure in the VF during this run. I have made well over 50bags now, including the bag failures, I can honestly say that I have failed less than 5x in the VF.

Of course, milage will vary for each - but the VF RNG seems very kind.

New run on Haversacks, 199 skill + Geerlok.

3/6 But I did get a skill point! Ding 200! Just 50 more to go

New run of 3

I did a new run 212 + geerlok 5/5
So I have only failed on on the last 21 attempts

So it looks like post 210 with a geerlok you will fail very very few =)

So far
Skill
192 8/10 80%
192-193 7/10 70%
199 7/12 58% (what happened?)
204-205 11/13 85%
207 9/12 75%
207-209 9/10 90%
209-210 7/10 70%
210 5/5 100%
210-211 3/3 100%
212 7/8 87.5%
212 5/5 100%

New run today, 200 skill + Geerlok, 8/8.

I was very happy with this run. Am struggling now to sell the Haversacks at 6k a piece but I refuse to go lower as the item is superior to the Tink Bag plus I value my time put in on the combines.

EDIT: This puts me at 23/29 on Haversacks from 198 skill + Geerlok to 200 skill + Geerlok, both skill-ups were earned on Haversack combines, although I did do 20 Acrylia Reinforced combines inbetween aswell.

Well I am pretty sure with 210 + geerlok you basically are at 5% failure or so

Amazing you can hit 5% failure and it's so far from triv still.

On Xev, I'm seeing these offered occasionally for 4500 pp, so I'm hoping the market isn't getting flooded.

[byelka]

Well lucky me on the seventh Hammer I am the only halfling doing these in large quantities I pretty much own the market.

But I think I have been flooding it a bit perhaps. I am still selling at 6KP but they are moving slower it seems. Still ahead of my ability to farm the materials. Maybe in a month or 2 I may have to lower it to the price of a bag of the tinkerers but just not yet
