    prism cape

    Ok I've held off long enough. 99.1+3, with advanced support, and I just hit 2/100 on this damn synth. We sure its 94 folks? And if so, just lock this.

    Either Bad luck or could you bychance have something overpowering your Tapestry so that you only have +2?

    Check your temp key items and make sure you have the CC +1 effect.

    I'm somewhat interested in the Orcish Fodder back scratching service mentioned in the screenshot.

    yup- checked before each session- I'm paranoid about that exact issue of overwriting my tapestry. Hopefully my ship will come in on the law of averages then.

    You aren't alone, Prism cape for me is very elusive, i'm like 2/150 or so on them since I hit 100, so I just stopped making them. I did get a request from a friend the other day though for signed Prism and Slops, so I guess i'm back to trying them again.

    Took me 90 synths to get my first one as soon as I dinged T1. It happens.

    Lifetime record: 14/295 (5% HQ rate)
    Net Profit: -1775000g

    Obviously I quit making these. I quit crafting in general too due to these results.

    That's all on you, lol. I don't do a synth unless the price of HQ at least covers the cost of mats while taking into account the most I think I'll go before an HQ (for t1 I happen to use a 5%, 1/20, rate). Also account for 2 crit breaks in that formula(10%), and I like my results

    Crafting on pure luck will occasionally give good results, but it's just that - luck. You may as well be gambling, and the vast majority of the time the house has the greatest odds, and I refuse to play that game. =p
