Resource loss on a failed crafting/smelting attempt

[Severity]

I was hoping some others would weigh in on this. If you fail to craft an item, you lose all of the resources it takes to craft it with carpentry for instance. I thought crafting was only supposed to use half the resources of the item when you fail like smelting. Anyone else remmeber it being that way?

I remember it similar to that way but I can't back it up. I thought it was a random amount.

yea house add ons were killer for losing resources :<

You mean you should only lose half Blackfoot?

Different systems did have different resource loss factors, I'm not saying we've got them all correct but it's hard to respond to this generality. If there are specific craft systems that are known wrong please advise me.

Thanks!

What i noticed specifically is when Im failing with Carpentry it is using all the resources. A q staff takes 6 boards and uses all 6 when you fail or succeed. It's the same when you make anything with carp I'm pretty sure.

[Silverfoot]

Yeah, I seem to remember that you would not lose all the resources required to make an item, though I don't remember the specifics. The UO Demo might shed some light on this.

Indeed, I'll check it out. Id like to have something to go on before making the change.

Were you able to discover anything?

Keg making, when a failure consumes ALL of your parts, is really quite ridic.

You need to make 7 seperate items to make a keg, and then assemble them all twice! That literally forces you to take a minimum of 90 seconds to make 1 keg, and if you fail, you lose all of your resources, and you wasted at least 90 seconds of your time.

I dont craft much more than kegs and exploding boxes, but if some of the other add-ons are similar to this in fashion, then I could completely see how this would be a monumental let-down to fail. For the sake of accuracy though, it does not really effect me at all, so accuracy is a must!

Were you able to discover anything?

I did spend some time trying to find out, but I couldn't find a way to obtain a carpenty tool in the demo. I'm kind of hoping someone else may find something on this. But I do agree that it probably should be half.

Can anybody link me to an online version of the T2A strategy guide? Do we have that? I can't find it online at any torrent sites and the one here is just a brief synopsis. I have one at my parents house in the attic somewhere lol.

I'll check this out tonight. Thanks!!

I dont remember it ever being half, it was always "you failed to create the item and some materials were lost" or whatever and it would take a random amount.
