Yep that's me. Failed the Carnage bow.
Gotha love seeing the work of 5 months gathering mats blow up in your face... and dont forget the Royal Coin member quest.
oke sarcasme of.
I more or less exspected it to fail so I will not whine to much about it since that what people will write reading this thread.
So...
How many of you are allso "proud" members of the failed-60% crafts club? I am asking since it begins to dawn on me that I should never try gathering mats in the first place but get the complete build.
On hinde, carnage bows are down to as low as 37m. There does come a point when it just isn't worth it to craft. After failing a couple myself, I decided to only try A grade crafts for items I need instead for profit.
At least you had a goal over the last few months. If you are playing for the exp bar, you will find yourself burnt out in a jiffy.

I dont play for profit nor for experiance.. Profit is a ghost I seem to chase away and experiance is only usefull for skills that are needed mostly for other as hunting as an SE is not something I would recommand. I played to get that bow and I did it all on my own. Lvl-ed up a SH in it 40's and keeping it there I may add for the gathering of medusa's/unicorn and wyrns coins to be able to get Lvl1 membership -> royal coin collect -> Kali quest on my healer for that 60%-craft recipe.
I did burn out once or twice tho trying to get all those mats. Left the game for a couple of weeks just to get the courage again to continue. Basically I did even care less about the PvP-part of this game as it would only prolong the agony gathering mats in the first place.
It failed tho and it seems as you wrote that I am better off buying the complete items and not gather mats at all.
Sure but dark blue = loosing cash in the long run. So it is better to delevel a toon and keep it in the green range of the coin dropping mobs.
Atleast that what I figured out. Besides I do little damage on my SE in the first place anyway so even darkblue mobs can take some time to kill :-P
Carnage Bow on Teon was down to 30mil or so, same for Bloody Orchid, easy to buy :)
And 5months to craft 1 weapon? O.o You do know that A-weapon recipes spoil and drop in the new areas? Same for parts. Gotten 8 Bloody Orchid blades in WoA so far and I dont hunt there much.
Took me 3 days to craft Dragon Slayer, about 6 for SoM attempt back in the good ol' C3 days.
Elysian 60% failed
Tallum Tunic Failed
Tallum Plate Success
NM Leather Success
NM Robe (working on it)
Debating if I want to try again on the Elysian, or just save adena till I can afford one with SA.
you should always expect a craft to fail
that way you will never be disapointed
2 weeks ago i crafted a maj necklace and ring
expected both to fail
necklace succeded
figured "bargain doesnt matter if the ring fails now"
it succeded ^^
failed soul bow 2nd week of c3 ...succeded 2 carnage bows ... failed 5 out of 6 maj earings. made 4 maj necklaces 5 rings . 4 phoenix rings. failed bw helm60%
The list goes on and on ... and yes I am a Warsmith though so its my hobby >.< lol but I am sure if you talk to any of the med and larger clan crafters I am sure they have even more then me of the fail and succes ratio. Saddest thing for me is its like gambling and gets addictive when you do succede a few times in a row lol
Well i have failed TWICE with a 60% Tallum Helm (ouch) and 3rd time was a charm - but I am **** lucky with over enchanting as I took my TSU*SAM up to +16 :)

Pessimism is the way you should do all things in Lineage 2 (Unless you are buying from an NPC).
This is so that you have already thought about what you will do after you have failed....since if you succed you will be better off then when you started thus not having to scrounge around for a weapon or money.

my poin exactlly
i planned for both to fail and was ready to craft again
Failed SoM craft today... kinda sucks being lvl74 sps with only +8 homu. That, and that terrible taste in the mouth after wasting so much money, time and effort on a single, useless click.
2-5 on bw helms
2-6 bw tunic
4-5 zubeis tunic
0-2 great swords :(
3-3 doom boots
4-4 bw gloves
2-4 on zubeis helm ? maybe 2-5
Gonna go for a damascus sword and 1 more great sword after the event. I wont try a grade, to much time and adena for me atm.
So many people don't seem to get just how much of a chance percent is...
Failing 3 crafts straight is a 6.4% chance. Pulling a pocket pair in Texas Holdem is about the same...
yeah I guess the issue is, it takes some people months to farm their mats and pieces and recipes. And finaly do the craft. So going through all that 3 times isnt worth it no matter how much the odds start to turn in their favor.
