Thanks all. My paranoia is settling down again. Just a run of really bad luck then! :(

Also when trying to get a MP gem, consider the potential loss vs your time and your material cost. I wouldn't bother much on 99% gloves

On a side topic, one of my customer once claimed it's possible to blow up a mp item with 99% gems. He said the % risk is rounded down to zero in the log, but is not zero behind the curtains. Have you ever destroyed a MP item? It never happened to me.

No - MP items have never boomed for me. As mentioned, up until a few weeks ago, never a 99% item with 4x 99% gems either. Still that 1% boom chance is very real here!!

I'd previously done a few riskier 3x99% with a 1x98% on 99% items, mostly this had worked but I'd had a few blow up over time. Thats definitely one not to risk on a 99% chain/scale vest!!

yesterday I exploded the first time in 16 years of daoc. 99% item with 4x 99% gems. I kinda knew that it would happen though, it took me 60 tries to get the 4 99% gems ..

I did more or less 25-30 full suit spellcrafting (8 items) and boomed only 3 times.

No idea if only is the correct word there. In this 200
-240 items,how many of these even had the chance to explode? Most sc's I do are on mps which are 100% safe to enchant anyways.
Considering this I would say exploding 3 times is pretty often

Hey guys,

I have a noobish question about overcharge, if it tells me that the overcharge chance is 30% and 1%chance to loose the item, what happens if the overcharge is failing but I dont loose the item ? I can just retry ?

Thanks :-)

yeah you just retry until it succeeds. Each time you'll have to fear the dreaded 1% risk

Math is a b*tch...that is most unlikely though not impossible as you have experienced :cry:

Must have failed something.
You did 28 imbue ? If yes it's the fail. Qual 98% have less than 28 imbue.
Not supposed to go BOOM on no OC ? 8O
