Unimportant Post. Venting.

I tried to enchant a dwarven phrasebook to make it lighter... 91% and failed. It was destroyed.
Then over the course of two weeks I kept finding new dwarven phrasebooks and trying again.
I have destroyed six now.
Just thought I'd share that. A kind of .. 'screaming into the void' self-therapy thing.
Okay. Thanks for listening.

Nothing beats trying to enchant an amulet and having it blow up at the first +2 skillpoint enchantment six times in a row.
You should use printing press and copy someone else's phrasebook instead.

I've blown up 53% chance belts I think at least 5-6 times now. I know your pain.

The highs must come with the lows.
Fail the first +2 skill point enchantments 7 times in a row.
Get a 5% non-god save later that day.

Whats worse is blowing a godsave on a 95% chance item.

*Sends all the hugs Hazard's way* I'm sorry. That really, really, really sucks.

I often find that the number of times i succeed on a hard 5% is not the same as the number of times i fail on a 95% Im sure this is perception, but i find it deeply frustrating as well

The way I rationalize my rage is "well you are hitting 5%s right now... Think about rolling for a Major reward"

Did that with celestial phrasebooks. I totally relate.

I spent somewhere around half a million on mundane crafting when it first came out only to later find out the god saving part needed to be patched in order to work proper.
Hey at least you're being beaten by the system.

It took me about five tries to get a Masterly Crossbow started back in the day. I think at one point I had about a 90% chance to succeed and it failed. So I feel your pain.

Probably over a year. Limited to enchanting under 90% or gp value craft of 500gp (so addy doesn't blow up)

Sorry for clarity - "enchanting under 90%" meaning 10% success rate or higher can godsave on enchants? but not below 10?

No, he means a success rate of 90+ will not provoke one
