Imperial Wootz Ingot failure/break rate.

[Mayareira]

Hello everyone;

I did a search but couldn't find an answer, How many breaks should I be prepared for the synth of 12 ingots? I know its tier 0 and a little random but just trying to make an estimate.

Thanks in advance.

Speaking from personal experience; you'll HQ more than you'll break of those fucking things.

Need more info, what lvl is your smithing? if you are at or above the cap you "shouldnt" break any. 1 break would be about normal and 2+ is unlucky.

[Mayareira]

Going to ask someone with 100+3 + support to craft them for me. Buying Khroma ore's and getting them crafted is around 150-200k/piece cheaper than buying ingots directly.

[Zarath]

If so, skeet is about right. Don't expect any breaks, but they do happen. At most, 3 breaks though if you just happen to get the shitty end of the stick (Worse I've done is 6 breaks on a T3 items << in a run of 12...)

[wyred]

You can have 50+ skill over the item cap and still break once in a while. That's one shitty part about the crafting system.

(disclaimer: lack of empirical data)
I can't tell any significant difference between any other synth around that level and imp. wootz ingots. I broke 1 of the last 20-30 synths and I'm 2 below cap of recipe (but with moglification smithing and gloves+body lifting that)

[Price]

When would be the earliest you could craft these reliably? I'm 92.7 Smithing and I'd like to craft my own for Ares Cuirass.

At 93 + 3 with support you should be fine ... hell even at 92 you'd still be fine (imo, 1 level below isnt too bad of a fail rate).

[Price]

Somebody else told me I'd be fine at 92, but I broke 2/5 and lost a good mil. :3

Wouldn't recommend it before 93+6. You'd wanna be at cap to minimise break chance.

Synthed 48 ores into 24 khromas for my 2 bodies fine, but when I synthed for friends I smashed 1 for each of their 12 (3 of them got theirs synthed from me).

[Drakath]

I guess my horrible fail rate on these is just bad luck I always thought the synth was rigged but I guess not >_>...I'm afraid to even make them anymore, I fail literally half the time with capped smithing.. Lost way too much gil on them

[Phraust]

I personally made about 60 of these ingots when skilling up back in the day.
Each netted a 200k profit at the time.

I Hq'd 6, and broke 2. Both breaks were for people that needed it crafted..... I never broke my own. kinda irritating to go 1 in 10 on this fucking synth and 1 in 72 on haubergeons... Tier I my ass...

[Narse]

In my experience, ~5% break rate, about 50% loss on Khroma and Wootz as well when you do have a break.

[Taint]

I've made 50+ with no breaks.

I'm sure I'm saving those breaks for when I need them personally.

[Kipling]

Got a friend to craft all 12 of mine, and no breaks. But he's 100+3 etc. Although it didn't stop me from panicking the one time I r0'd and didn't see the completion message...

[Phryn]

I also skilled up on these (god i wish i had kept them all O.O). At 100+3 So far i've gone 12/12 on my first set of synths and 12/13 on my second set (lost 1 khroma ore). I am always sweating bullets when i make these for friends, cant imagine what it'll be like when i synth some for myself, i'll probably break them because thats my luck for myself

[Tomiko]

Had all 12 of mine synthed within the past week. Had 11 done at once with 0 breaks and 1 HQ D: Then a couple days later had the last one synthed with no break.

So like everyone else said, it's just like any other t0 synth except the crafter will hate seeing an HQ.

[Sumiko]

Mm, I had my 100+3 smithing friend craft them with support... 1/12 crit break ><; Luckily the last one didn't. :D

I think two other people I've asked had at least one break in a synth of 12 too... though, they were much luckier than I was T_T
