I absolutely agree that the stated percentage in the crafting window should reflect reality. If you are not using scrolls, it appears to do so. I have never had a degrade failure when crafting q220 or below with a q250 skill. The box says 100% and as far as I can tell, it is.
If you use a scroll, however, the improvement of the success chance seems to be being mis-calculated for display. Clearly, from the attestations here, even a boost from a grade 5 scroll on q240 isn't giving the true 100% that is shown.
One possibility that might be the case (just off the top of my head and based on other mechanisms discovered in Ryzom) is that a 10% scroll does not *add* that percentage to the base chance, but multiplies the base chance by 1+10%. (I.e. if you have a 90% base chance, the chance with 10% scroll is 1.10*0.90 = 0.99, if you use a 10% scroll with an 85% base chance your actuall chance is 93.5%, not 95%).
Two possibilities exist for a "fix":
1) Make the crafting window show the true percentage.
2) Change the actual success rate to match the shown.
In my not so humble opinion, one of the two should be applied as soon as possible.
-- B
I would settle for 1). 2 would be nice, but what the heck.
