Bowcrafting. [fixed]

I think that the % for exceptional is very flawed and gltichy.

At 120 bowcraft I have a 52.5% to craft a crossbow. It requires 60 skills to create.

A Goldmachine has a 40% but requires 100 skill to create.

A mystical shortbow has a 60% chance yet requires 75 to create.

A yumi has a 33.8% and not even 100% to make and requires 90 bowcrafting.

Now lets put on a talisman that offers + 16 bowcraft and a 18% to exceptional.

Crossbow: 61.5

Gold Machine: 41

Mystical Shortbow: 69

Yumi: 100% to make and 42.8 exceptional.

Just wondering since I am about to burn a Frostwood runic.

k hold on that kit, I'll have to verify those values and see if they should be lowered, it does seem kinda odd.

Thanks Red. I did my research because something didn't seem right.

Yet another reason this shard is LEAPS better than Demise. I brought up how they are making new websites but not even fixing darts and they said to stfu basically.

Hell, I even posted their Join Us link that is BROKEN after they said that the website is more important because it brings in new players.

Im doing my best to promote this shard man. Because of things like this. You didn't take days to even answer my question candidly. Hell, you barely took 30 minutes.

A++ man, the reason I keep coming back to this shard.

I don't have anything to comment on your chances based upon base skill, but regarding talismans, I've read up on them and this is what I've figured out. (I could be wrong)

A talisman with bowcrafting bonus doesn't give a bonus to your skill. (i.e. "Bowcrafting and Fletching bonus 25% won't give you +25 bowcrafting.) It increases your chance to successfully craft an item by 25 percent of your current chance.

The exceptional bonus works the same way, adding a percentage to your current chance.

I'm not sure if this answers your question in any way, but I didn't know really until I researched, and since I wrote it here, I can come back and see what I wrote if I ever get confused again. (easier than trolling through other forums looking for info).

Of course, this could be completely different on AoV.

Yeah talismans work that way here too, but think he meant just in general without a talisman.

For recipes I came up with a formula that also works this way, but it could work differently for items that require multiple skills, but I have not run into such recipe yet.

I deffinately see what you are saying. And I was thinking that too until I saw what was going on with Goldenmachines. It went up 1% with the talisman.

Plus how some of the bows worked with skill requirements and actual percentages are skewerd I think.

I just reviewed this and the chances without a talisman are ok, but they are indefinably screwed with a talisman, they actually go lower instead of higher, I'll take a look at this and see whats up with the formula.
