So I have GM Alchemy on my stealther.

I find a talisman that gives me Enhance Potions 25% & Alchemy Bonus of 21%. Now... with that 21%... does it help my EP at all? I mean... with Tailoring at 115 or whatever, and you equip a tailoring talisman your ability to succeed in talioring rises.... so will the Alchemy bonus help my EP at all? or no because its every 33%, so it would need to be atleast 32%, which i'm pretty sure is impossible on a talisman.

The Alchemy Bonus increases your chance of "crafting" or "making" an alchemy item. Just like a tailoring bonus doesn't increase your chance of getting a property on an item, it increases your chance of making it. And if it's already at 100%, it increases your excp. chance.

At least, that's how it is on OSI.

Yeah thats how it is too. And for crafting, you still need to have a certain chance of crafting it with a talisman. So lets say you have 50% chance to craft an item and you have a talisman with 50% then you get 50% of 50% added to your chance, so you'd get 75% chance to craft the item.

its not a skill bonus, its a bonus to crafting chance only.

If you have 100 of a skill but need 101 to craft, you can have 100% bonus but you still wont craft it. But if you have 101 skill and have 1% chance to craft and 100% bonus then its 100% bonus of 1% chance, so you'd get 2% chance. Works for carpentry, blacksmithy, etc. Think its only crafting too, so enhancing and such are not affected. But this is good for when using runics. You could get a high % BS bonus talisman and craft runic dragon scale stuff,for example.
