Gun Parts?

[Mooncalf]

Yep, weapon part found as floor loot only goes up to quality 13. Helly has found a few q12s, but they are pretty rare.

Qual 10+ melee parts seem to be alot rarer now than they used to be, unless they are blunts. Even then haven't seen anything over 11 in months. Seems 50% parts are blunts too.

I get 9-11s fairly regularly from killing hunters/paladins in the sewers if people are looking for another way to get them <.< Generally gun parts, too.

We didn't change anything.

I haven't noticed a difference in part qualities. It seems about the same as always.

Oh yeah, I have no issues finding 10+ items - rare, but not infuriatingly so - except the blunt/blade parts of melee weapons. Hilts and pommels show up, but never the stabby/smashy bits.

For swords you need metalworking (skill), skill (attribute), and strength (attribute) as well as a forge.

For guns you need mechanics (skill), skill (attribute), and intelligence (attribute). You need a crafting bench or portable crafting set.

So Pi now has 30 mechanics, 25 skill and 21 intel. And still failing lots. Can anyone tell me which one of these effects failure %'s??

It does seem to be that way. I made Carys with 13, 13, 13 and came out with a 13, 14, 9 :)

That result is most common for the near-max statted crafters. Though it is possible for that to come out as 13, 12, 9 or even 14, 14, 9 very rarely.

Define near-max statted crafters? For guns, is it as Josh said. Skill, Intel & Mechanics?

What do Hellequin's failure chances look like? I'm trying to get a gauge on what I can hope for in some levels' time.

I think Nix's stats are higher than Hellequin's and she has a 90% fail rate at Q15-> Q16, then -10% for everything down to 1% at Q6 and below.

Curiously, Pi's change of failure on a 15+ is 96% - what stats did Nix have to improve that failure %? Pi's maxed on mechanics, so skill? Or Intel you think?

Lots of questions, I know

It's skill. Nix had 30/30 Skill/Intel and 20 Mech. She also managed to do Blake's gun (15/16/9) with 15/14/15 parts. That was glorious.

[Pi dArtois]

Damn, that's right. You restat her, it's going to be aaaaaaaaaaaaages before I get anywhere close to 30/30 skill/intel.

Hrm hrm... sad, but targets are good :)

With Sebastian and melee crafting, increasing skill has been helping with his failure rate. It's still high, but it is slowly climbing down as he levels. I've got metalcrafting maxed out now, with strength and skill both in the 20s.
