to reforge a 40 ssi clean halberd?
Using copper runic and powerful, animated of haste....I can seem to get a clean one....thoughts?
Could be just RNG ? Remember that when the probability of an occurrence is (let's say 1 in 20) 5%, that only means 1 out of 20, as your #of attempts approaches infinity. I was trying to make a specific type of slayer on a katana for Loren (my crafter is Armani), and the best way to do so was ..dull copper reforging, on a BSmithed weapon. (going for 2 mods, then fort, imbue, and so on). I blew up 2 full runics, nothing. Then the next runic, I got 4 weapons.
The hardest part was eeking out the last mod I wanted, being 90% or 100% dmg type to the target's lowest resist. I'm a lazy pally who hates to consecrate
If I am ever on Armani again, I am always up for running some tests, you provide the mats, and I will click and write for hours. Garg, GM or Legendary everything available, and access to Queens Forge. I love gathering data and trying to optimize processes. Like the katanas I wanted, I went with theoretically cheapest path, vs easier way (but mostly due to lack of availability of imbuing mats for the slayers I wanted)
Sorry, got to rambling about crafting
TW, please pardon my asking, but are you sure you didn't have some things checked by accident in your gump? I know I did sometimes when changing what I was reforging. I understand what you were going for there. Should be possible, unless 40 is not the 'normal' max ssi. You might try using the dull copper if you are only trying to get the one property on it reforged? I have one if you want it. There was an imbuing thread around here somewhere speaking of the best way to get 1 or 2 mods (and only those mods) clean, at max level. I am almost certain, the method prescribed was using hammers below copper, and hoping for max rolls. Good luck sire. When I finally got the kats I wanted I was ecstatic. Then I let my house IDOC, didnt bank....oopsies.
