    Post Update Crafting problems...

    I was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing a problem since the update with horrid HQ rates. I'm WW 100+3+3 and since the update I went 1/15 with 1 break on HQing staves, the next day I went 0/9 and one break with HQing staves, and I also broke a Jag log. Altho I know the log is T0 so a decent chance at breaking and I have had bad luck at HQing staves before just never this bad. Even my friend was doing T2 alchemy and says he went 0 for about 40 without getting a HQ. Was just wondering if I was having a horrid run or if others have had this problem since the update to.

    I think you're just one of the people that if they didn't have bad luck, then they'd have no luck at all.

    Ya I'm beggining to believe that to ; ;
    Seems as if ever since I hit 100 it's caused nothing but a loss.

    Dear lord people, a thread like this pops up after every major update. Crafting was not changed, your luck just sucks. Wait it out.

    24ish synths is such a massive sample size.

    Those sound like my normal HQ rates on T2 Red Capes.

    You were obviously facing the wrong direction on the wrong day during the wrong moon and with the wrong weather.

    Re: Post Update Crafting problems...

    1/15 and 0/9 are actually pretty typical for a T1 craft. T0 is more luck than anything. I usually craft in groups of 24 (don't ask, just what I do) and on a good day with a T1, I craft 3 to 4/24 HQ. An average day is 2/24 and I've seen several times with 0/24. I've crafted twice since update and have done 2/24 and a 1/24. So its just bad luck but they didnt change the hq-ing rate.

    I'm pretty sure it's nothing too. I took my signboard down and a dozen cursed pieces later still no luck. Between gloves and leggings I'm a combined 0/53 or so since last HQs. Just gotta ride it out.

    Didn't see any changes after the update personally. Bad luck?
