Why do I keep failing things that say im 100%

Seriously, I failed making a Soulforge when it said 100%.

Now, I'm failing making Bottles of Ichor when it says I'm 100%.

I don't mind failing, but I REALLY mind failing when it says I CAN'T FAIL!!!

That's does sound odd, but it has happened to me also. Not much, and I didn't pay much notice to the event. One question? Did you lose any of the materials on failure? Just wondering...

I have had it happen on creating soulforges and you do lose ingredients -- not the relic fragment though. I've had it happen at least 2-3 times, and wondered how and why.

I have noticed this too. It seems to be the "Make Last" button thats messed up for me though. I i click on the make item button it seems to work just fine, but whenever I use the "Make Last" option is when I start failing.

Maybe "make last" isn't adding in talisman bonuses properly?

Yes, I did othewise I guess I wouldn't have even bothered to mention it.

I didn't use that button. I'm always making a certain number, and the number changes so I use that every time.

I've never failed a recall (or for that matter any magery spell) unless my spell was interrupted while my magery was 120.

Not true!
You DO loose relic fragments at times if failing even at 100%!

I had this feeling with other skills in the past, that they failed at GM more often than during the training process in the high 90th.

Yep, same here - my experience so far:
- 41 Soulforges created
- 22 unsuccessful attempts which made me losing 9 Relics and about half of the wood / ingots. :cursing:
(my displayed success chance is 93.7%)

I know, in a mathematical view, this is not very convincing due to the few attempts made; nevertheless, with these numbers above, I suspect the success chance simply remains @ 50% ignoring the bonus of any equipped talisman.

It's just so demoralizing when you fail something that says 100%. I can't explain it.

Just because your skill is at 100% does not mean you will succeed 100% of the time. Look at the menu and see what your chances of exceptional are. I am a legendary bard and I fail on certain higher level monsters. It's part of the game. Sorry.

41 successful + 22 Unsuccessful = 63

41/63 = 65% success rate. Not nearly 93.7 but also not 50/50.

63 trials is a fairly good number to get within +-5-10%. What is your chance without your tally?

Odd, given that they were discussing this pre-release, and had mentioned they would look into ways to not make the imbuing failure process so painful. I'm going to guess they decided that it could continue to be painful. :/

The only time I ever saw that happen was when you try to cast twice because of recall lag.
Do you think this is possible with other spells? I'm fairly certain I fizzled a pain spike on a 100 necro yesterday...
