Here now the results of the last part of the test: The question was how q70 scrollmaker products influenced crafting.
Preface
Some considerations before: We had found (and it prove consistent with the test results) that scrollmaker products are temporarily raising the skill level of the crafter, not the success chance. This is granting the crafter the effect of undercrafting. When crafting at your level, success chance is 85%. I will rise by 1% every 2 levels, thus be 90% when crafting qualities 10 below the own level, and 100% for crafting qualities 30 or more below the own level.
The effect of scrollmaker produce is thus expected 1% for q10, 2% for q20, 3% for q30, 4% for q40, 5% for q50, 6% for q60, and 7% for q70. Durance of boost is shrinking from nearly half an hour for q10 to 4, 2, 1 minutes for q50, q60, and q70.
Failure of q70 scrollmaker produce has been widely observed and reported. The purpose of my test was to check this effect. The tests were planned to take place between July, 27-31, but were extended until August 3 due to unexpected results.
Summary:
First, test results seemed to corroborate the hypothesis that q70 writing sets did not influence crafting success, neither positively nor negatively, in any significant way. But after a couple of days, results revealed a positive effect consistent with the expected boost. It seems that something has been changed.
Methods:
As before, all 10 crafting missions in Dyron were obtained and done, with q250 mats and crafting at level 250. Originally, tests for 5 days, between July 27 and July 36, were planned, but extended due to unexpected outcome. Artful writing necessities (q70) were active during all craftings (in case a crafting fell outside the boost time as the boost had elapsed while crafting started, it was not counted, that happened a few times).
Results:
The test results indicated that there was no effect of the artful writing set (q70) during the first 4 series of crafting: 295 crafting acts during 4 days with 41 failures, an average of 13.9%. Yet, the crafting series at July 31 brought only 3 failures, a better result than any previous crafting day without boost. This made me curious whether that was just a lucky outcome, or possibly a change in the scroll's effect. Thus I decided to test for 3 other days to see whether the effect is lasting.
Indeed, the outcome of the following days showed that the effect remained. During 291 craftings there were 20 failures, thus an failure rate of 6.9%.
It seems that q70 scrollmaster products are working, now. As the test is quite exhausting, I leave it by that, but want to ask the devs whether something was changed in the code so that we may use this stuff now without worries. I also ask others to test whether the observed effect is remaining stable.
