Stricken Report post Posted August 13, 2007 Rider i'll tell ya what I know from personal ways of finding out >.> it sucks. I had only potion level of 37 but I find that 1/5 of ur SRs is gonna fail critically. It pisses me off as well. What I recommend is u make 100~ at a time and it seems to not hurt you to badly. they say a 1/3 chance for crits on things but 1/5 was what i noticed on srs personally. atleast when I made 200 at 1 time that is xD -Stricken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larrystorch Report post Posted August 13, 2007 It will slowly get better as your level increases. At level 50 or so, I noticed I was getting about 95% and now at level 61, I'm at 99%. Keep working at it and you will see it get better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joshyboy Report post Posted August 13, 2007 i didn't notice any difference from 50+ but as Stricken said, the more u make the less the crits seem to effect you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ermabwed Report post Posted August 13, 2007 but as Stricken said, the more u make the less the crits seem to effect you Well, that's obviously because you fail less with higher levels, as far as I know, chance of success is (your level)/(2*(rec level)), fails have 1/3 of being critical (again, afaik). Anyways, that would mean that you'd have 100% success at level 40 for SRs which just isn't the case One thing is for sure though: there's a small random chance for failure, in other words there's no "no fail" level. As for some numbers: some months back (might have been level 85ish) I made a batch of 10k SRs and counters said I had lost 35, about ten of which went to EMPs. That would be a 0.25% chance for critical failures (that's 1 in 400). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stricken Report post Posted August 13, 2007 i think what i meant was that if you make an accumlated amount at 1 time it seems to be less then what it is. EX: you making 4k HE you do 200 per time and fail 2-3 per set. but it doesn't bother u cuz u see that pretty 198 sitting in ur inv that goes straight to sto :/ it's just what i noticed. when if i make 20 at 1 time i feel bad if i got like 18 :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vrumfondel Report post Posted August 13, 2007 well, from my observations fails decrease till ~rec level + 40 and remain there at ~10% and this seems to be independent of what you are mixing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexi Report post Posted August 13, 2007 I am not a high level in pot at all, but I am currently 26 in pots, and doing 20-22% crits and probably 30-40% food fails. I am already seeing a vision... this is absolutely horrible.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stricken Report post Posted August 14, 2007 lol when u hit 30's it's worse, but poitoning was qiute useful, i spent 7gc per SR rather then 14 saves u a decent amount of gc unless of course u fail a lot hit crits like mad crazy anda re using feasties (not recommended) then of course it would drive u nuts lol -Stricken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
extrapolation Report post Posted August 16, 2007 potion 65 here, i made 1k SR once (out of 10 batches of 1k that i did one time) without a single critical failure. usually out of 1k i will crit fail less than 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piner Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Well - I don't know it and don't really care ... The clue is that if you make enough of those SRs you just don't care if or if not you loose a few. So I agree with Stricken. And if you get a potion maniac (as very few are) you do not even look if it is a crit fail or a normal one or even just a stopping, just thinking it is so bad that the work stopped ; But as said - that's just for maniacs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shallara Report post Posted August 18, 2007 The relief in fails is all about boosting that level... At pots 80, I make up sr's in batches of 2k, and it seems the vast majority of my 'crit fails' end up being EMP's instead of fails... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexi Report post Posted August 18, 2007 Hey, I have gotten a few EMPs from it all! Yes, it roughly takes me 7-9gc to make a SR, and I do reuse some, but I also sell some, so as long as I don't LOSE gc (which I havn't really) I am okay with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
