[quote="COOLHAND"]So I tried to craft 3 Frost tabs with 172 pot skill, using the recipe Large Saph + Crystal. I read on an old forum post that the rough guide for success rate is 45% base +5% per 5.0 (I don't know how true that is) If the skill required to craft a frost tab is 152, the success rate per attempt would be 65%. Which makes the likelihood of crafting 1 tab in 3 attempts at 95.7%. Has anyone successfully crafted a frost tab? Did I just get the unlucky 4.3%? I don't want to attempt the recipe until I know that at least a couple of people have crafted it successfully.[/quote]

[quote="ALBION"]I've had success with 142 skill for both ToV and ToF. I've been 2/6 so far so a terrible success rate but it must mean minimum skill is less than 152. Myth of soma wiki shows 102 skill minimum to craft them but I don't know where that data came from.[/quote]

[quote="MERLIN"]Pretty sure its higher than 102 req but I have succeeded on a char at 137skill However I crafted up to 172 potion skill anyway and the success % seemed to jump massively to the point where I didn't bother taking it any higher [/quote]

[quote="PROWLER"]I have done two with 172 skill ... both were successful. Jac[/quote]

[quote="RAVENSOUL"]Most likely reason for the supposed 102 skill might be down to the fact that was the skill required for the previous top craftable items in cook/potion crafting and unless iSylver or Finito give out the current skill required it’s virtually impossible to know 100% unlike weapons, armour, accessories where you can work the skill out from the extra dura you get from crafting over the dropped equivalent. All I can say for sure is the more skill you have will pay dividends in end over just having or slightly above minimum skill. [/quote]

[quote="COOLHAND"]thank you all. I will craft some today[/quote]

[quote="RAVENSOUL"]A few week back I did 10 attempts making volt tabs, 2 failed and 8 were success that was with 182 cook/pot skill so that’s 80% success I never bothered trying at 172 skill so can’t say if 172 will give the max 80% success or not.[/quote]
