Dodged a Crit Fail bullet

[LyonheartLakshmi]

Decided to do some crafting today during 5% New Moon Lightsday. I wanted to take a shot at a SH +1, and I did some other synthesis attempts while I was at it.

Attempted a SH, for which I break Tier 31... got NQ. I was rather disappointed. I crit failed it a couple of attempts back, and I seem to be overdue for an HQ.

After that, I decided to try some Shade gear, for which I also break Tier 31. I crit failed 5 out of 6 attempts :wasted:. Together with the Silver Chains I had made earlier, I failed 5 out fo 11 attempts on recipes which used Earth crystals during that game day.

I'm a little sore about the 5 crit fails on Shade gear, which lost me at least 100k. But I guess I should feel fortunate that I didn't crit fail the SH instead (which would have been a 1.3M loss).

One thing I've learned with crafting:
It all evens out. If you're up way huge in the odds, it will all come crashing down, if you're just getting your butt handed to you with NQ's when you're tier 3 or tons of breaks many levels above the cap, it will always even out. Just give it time and enough attempts and you'll end up about as close to normal as you can get.

Unfortunately, it tends to even out on the wrong recipes. I've been on an HQ drought with SH, and oh look, the game has granted me an HQ2 on Silver Chains :cry:

{/comfort} Lyonheart. I hate crafting sometimes. Other times, I love it.
