Since long time, advanced products of the scrollmaker occupation are haunted by a bug which renders the occupation virtually useless if not harmful (because of its deceptive nature) leading to frustration of crafters as well as occupation practitioners. Since the fusion and the demise of advanced occupations, there is few if any point to practise this occupation, at least at grade 6/7 level and for masters in crafting.
The phenomenon of the bug is, that scrollmaker scrolls, when used by a crafting master, appear to reduce instead of increase the success chance of crafting. I made some series of measurements several weeks ago, after I used scrolls to increase success in heavy armour crafting with highest quality materials for a fellow player. The results were detrimental: 4 degrades in 10 craftings, where a success chance of 99% was indicated in the precraft window.
I started a series of tests, easy since I have all crafting masters, based on my daily cash cow, the craftings at the campfire in Dyron. There, in 10 missions, 1110 materials are processed in 67 acts of crafting. I tried it 10 days using q60 scrolls (pretending 98% success in precraft window) getting a 44% degrade rate against a "normal" degrade rate between 15 and 20% (notably, I am crafting with 250 mat at q250 all time though the mission require between 200 and 240).
Obviously, the scrolls are causing a mess. I wrote several tickets, anybody to work on?
Btw., during the last week I recognized a sharp increase of degrade occurrences. During the last 3 days, I measured 30-35% degrade rate (sample=~200 craftings) vs. a "normal" of 15-20%. I am aware that Ryzom random routines are a mess (I never had better than 15% over more than 100 craftings, even very seldom in 10 craftings, but often deviations towards worse, even over large numbers, which puzzles me), and the deviation may be personal mishap inside the standard error margins (though I wonder how). If anything has been done to the random stuff, please re-check.
And, please, repair the scrolls.
