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.

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

Re: Unimportant Post. Venting.
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

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

Re: Unimportant Post. Venting.
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.

Re: Unimportant Post. Venting.
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.

Weird. I did that like... A month ago, is this new?
Re: Unimportant Post. Venting.
Probably over a year. Limited to enchanting under 90% or gp value craft of 500gp (so addy doesn't blow up)

Re: Unimportant Post. Venting.
Sorry for clarity - "enchanting under 90%" meaning 10% success rate or higher can godsave on enchants? but not below 10?

Re: Unimportant Post. Venting.
No, he means a success rate of 90+ will not provoke one
