Professions Bugs: Keep on making non+1 items even though I have 100% proficiency AND focus

vordayn · May 2019

Since the recent patch, my main character is now consistently making non-quality result items even though he has 100% proficiency and 100% focus.

This bug also appeared at the same time as the non-continuous production of items bug when the delivery box gets full that I posted here.

I'm seeing this as well. It happens for crafting things and for gathering tasks as well.

The biggest problem is the inventory space it uses up! The profession area needs to be much bigger please.

Yes, it also makes it problematic if you set a task to use either standard or +1 ingredients - if they run out of their quality type, they don't automatically use the other type, so it stops production as well.

Seems like there are multiple problems with professions this mod.

Maybe is something like in D&D.

1 allways fail and 20 allways success.

But probably a bug

It's actually doing it 50/50 standard and +1, even though I have 100% prof/focus.

I got the same HAMSTER, with a mythic forgehammer.
It started a coupla weeks ago when I slotted some Tinker supplements, tho could just be coincidence of course.

HAMSTER annoying because my main source of AD has now dried up

agree. well over 100% proficiency and focus with purple a artisan and forgehammer. should all be +1 and still getting non +1 product when crafted. on some products this occurs about 20% of the time. This is really annoying when a supplement is used up.

deaddreger · May 2019

LOL I get +1's with under 100% proficiency and 0% focus! I'm also getting better results from Miracle Worker lately. They really have things messed up lately.

Workshop Crafting have found 90+% Prof. is really closer to 80% or less and will almost always fail the first time using Moral or left to run, I've only seen is not fail on the first 3 tries once or twice so stopped trying to make anything with less than 100 % prof. Not worth loss of materials. Wish Cryptic would fix its random number generator (RNG) to be more accurate. They had to put a fix in for refining because the RNG was cheating the players. I know they don't teach real math in schools anymore, event to programmers ( so buy a good RNG and use one that works).

We have been unable to repro this issue since it was originally reported so we're going to start looking at individual accounts to see if we can get more insight.

bigblackafrica · May 2019

I am also having this bug.

I just crafted a Shimmerweave Net and got the normal result with over 100% on both Proficiency and Focus. I used normal materials, but that shouldn't matter with over 100% for both stats.

Artisan: Leyrah Olme (blue, lvl 70)
Tool: Mythic Forgehammer
Proficiency: 930/800
Focus: 990/800

As far as reproducing the issue, it is not consistent and maybe happens for me on 1 time in 5 if not less frequently. But it shouldn't be happening at all.

Experiencing same bug. Now cannot upgrade as need +1 items to mastercraft level up. Could not even craft +1 aquamarine ring today at level 70 with legendary tool!! Hopefully fix happens soon.

waglaf · May 2019

add me to the list. been happening since the last patch at least

deaddreger · May 2019

Yup, happened with the last patch and the fix to the crafting UI causing massive FPS issues. And, I wasn't joking earlier about getting +1 items with 0 focus and Miracle Working performing better than in the past. Actually, at 20% chance it really seems to be 20% instead of the rarely procing it used to be for me. There must've been a change to rng or the formulas in use.

Yes, it is interesting to note that the character which I have noticed having this bug was also affected with an incredible amount of lag prior to that patch which was supposed to fix lag on certain characters. While it seemed to have fixed the lag, the calculation for production in terms of quality (i.e. RNG) must have been affected.

I've got a mythic Forgehammer and all MW professions on this character, and thought that perhaps the recipe list or something about this character was causing the lag back then. I'm also not sure how it could have been broken when professions weren't supposed to be affected in Mod 16.

Yeah, it always seems to be your main/primary/workhorse character that's affected by these strange bugs. I used to log in to my alts and grind, craft, or at least invoke, but since mod 16 I just haven't been able to bring myself to play them even though they aren't/weren't affected so badly by issues. It's like, why poke my other eye with a stick when I already know what's going to happen as soon as I start thinking I'm getting somewhere.

Just checked my alts, it's happening to them too, ~~at a rate of about 1:4 (non +1 : +1)~~ There is no rhyme nor reason when it is a +1 or a NON+1, even when they have 100% proficiency/focus.

It's broken across all my characters it seems

mintmark · May 2019

OK, I'm not going to try and estimate rates because the number of completions is so small... but here are some jobs I had running all day.

Treylo the tailor making shimmerweave thread with a legendary needle. 7 iterations.
Donnen the blacksmith making adamantine ingots with a mythic forgehammer. 13 iterations.
Fen the leatherworker making drake leather with a legendary round knife. 7 iterations.

All three have proficiency and focus above 100%. All three gave a mixture of +1 and ordinary items.
They all used to only generate +1 items. It's the same problem with gathering tasks.

Also, if I'm interactively using my daily morale to do tasks I don't think I have had an ordinary item... maybe that's a clue.

bigblackafrica · May 2019

I used morale to make this Shimmerweave net. It does not appear that using morale is a factor.
