    Worst Luck Ever?

    Well after some careful consideration I think I may have the worst luck ever. After another 10 attempts on Weskit I am now 0/100. Go me! To make it worse look below: (HQ attempts of course)

    Dragon Harness: 0 / 25
    Hades Sainti: 0 / 20
    Dragon Cap: 0 / 10
    Dragon Mittens: 0 / 16
    Dragon Leggings: 0 / 19
    Cursed Leggigngs: 0 / 33
    Cursed Mitts: 0 / 25
    Cursed Cap: 0/4
    Cursed Harness: 0/6
    Wyvern Helm: 0/12
    Igquira Legs: 0 / 32
    Scorpion Harness: 3 / 30

    By the law of averages I should have HQed something by now......

    Anyone out there have it worse?

    (Sidenote: Craft is of course 103 with support to tier break or if Tier 0, and sub-crafts appropriate levels.)

    SE hates me.

    Synth more, you'll eventually HQ or quit in the process of trying.

    Every one of those except maybe 1 or 2 dragon parts and the SH are tier 0.... Thats nowhere near the amount of synths that ive done and id venture to say 90% of the people who post here. The law of averages in fact says that you dont have to HQ anything. I was 1/126 on Genie Weskit. The only way to guarantee HQ is to synth until u HQ. I will shed no tears for you tonight. /tags Aces in

    (PS. Why do we consistently have posts like this?!?)

    Because for every one idiot you try to educate there will be 10, 20, 30 more out there, and after you get so damn feed up with the first idiot you bash his skull in one of them will take his place.

    I wasn't going to comment because I tend to bitch about my lack of HQs too, but that amused me.

    And Jabberwocky, your sig makes me snicker every time I see it.

    Re: Worst Luck Ever?

    I agree with everything that has been said here, but I do have a certain amount of sympathy. My bone mule sucks the cock. The day I hit 100 I went 2/6 on behemoth rings, and I was all happy and shit, thinking that maybe this character would be the exception to my "I can't HQ shit" rule. Since then I am 0/61 on T1s. However, no matter how pissed I am about this, I haven't made a post asking people why my HQ rate sucks, so at least I still have a small portion of my dignity.


    P.S. apparently me and skeet are in some sort of "tag team" match. I think I'm going to like this...

    P.P.S anyone want some NQ lamian kamans?

    Re: Worst Luck Ever?

    That's some pretty shitty HQ rates there.

    Edit: I don't think the law of averages states that you don't necessarily have to HQ anything, wouldn't it state that eventually your odds will "even out" with large of enough numbers of synths? Even though, yes, it is possible, though extremely unlikely, you could NQ forever?

    You have to remember, the system doenst really care what you are crafting. The laws of averages apply to all synths. So, if you happen to HQ materials that counts. I'm sure that somewhere along the line, while skilling, or prepping you HQ'd something worthless. T0 is a bitch, you pretty much have to expect NQ, you cant bank all your craft profit on T0's. Unless your name is Tekki, Silfer or some of the others..

    I doubt even tekki banks on T0.

    in fact, I'd venture to say that he makes as HQ's as he does *because* he doesn't bank on them.

    Right, its just that its very unlikely you will make 1k NQ in a row and a guy 10 hq in a row. But nevertheless still possible.

    There's nothing probable about probability.

    I can't help but post this multiple times... I know I've posted it here before.

    0/93 on amemet mantles over a 2 month period, easily over tier 2.

    Amemet mantles are my fucking arch nemesis. I can NEVER hq them for shit, but I keep synthing them for some reason.
