Items providing Crafting success bonuses....
Aside from talismans, which can provide bonuses to crafting success up to 30%, for normal and exceptional crafted items, unless I am missing out any, that I know of, the following can be used that "stack" with Crafting Talismans as far as crafting success bonuses go....
Blacksmithing has the Ancient Hammers (+10, +15, +30, +60) which provide a crafting success added bonus.
Alchemy, has the Hygieia's Amulet that gives +15% (the original one) or +10% (the Repica one) as a crafting success added bonus.
NOTE. The Mushroom Cultivator's Apron, while providing a +10 Alchemy skill, to my understanding, does it only for the skill itself if one is below 100.0 and does not exceed the 100.0 CAP thus providing no added crafting bonus from wearing it, if one is already GM Alchemist.
Carpentry, has the Woodworker's Bench from the Store which, albeit a very, very little one, still gives a +5 to carpentry skill, a +5% success bonus, and a +3% exceptional bonus (to my opinion, really too little to make it worth its cost of 600 Sovereigns...) as a crafting success added bonus.
Cooking, has the Master Chef's Apron from Bulk Order Deeds which adds, yes, a Bonus to Cooking, up to 30% and stacks with a Talisman Crafting bonus, but, it only works for exceptional crafting, not also for regular cooking items' crafting....
Inscription, while it has a Talisman from Bulk Order Deeds that increases Spellbooks' quality crafting and provides crafting bonus for both regular and exceptional inscription items' crafting, since it has been unfortunately made a Talisman, using the Talismans' slot, it therefore cannot be stacked with a regular Talisman, obviously, to further increase a Scribe's crafting chance at crafting other inscription items...
Hence, other then for getting a little help at crafting Spellbooks, this Inscription crafting bonus item is not really of much help when crafting all other inscription items which a Scribe might need to craft.... especially, considering that these Bulk Order deeds Talismans usually come with rather low regular/exceptional bonuses and are generally obtained through hard to get Large Bulk Order Deeds.
I am not aware of any other items which increase crafting success for the above crafting skills and neither I am aware of any items which provide a crafting success bonus (other then the Regular Crafting Talismans) for the Tailoring, Tinkering and Bowcraft/Fletching skills.
I wished we could see more items coming out, for various Paperdoll's slots, and that would stack their bonuses effects with regular crafting Talismans, which could thus be of help to Crafters in their work.
Yes, there are, from Bulk Order Deeds, Talismans with charges which offer protection failure but, unfortunately, since they take the Talisman paperdolls' slot, they really are not much of an help, to my opinion, because they cannot be used together with regular crafting Talismans and, since this crafting Failure Protection Talismans usually come (random) with low normal/exceptional crafting bonuses, their charges get used up quite fast and they become quite a chore to be gotten again through the Large BOds Lottery of Bulk Order Deeds (we know how hard Large BODs are to come by...) and no, the Banking of BODs' points does not help since the banking points given are way, really way too little and it takes way too many BODs (and time invested ito the repetivite gathering of materials and items' crafting for BODs' filling with the banking of points) to get these Talismans, as in comparison to instead using Large Bulk Order Deeds which, though, as mentioned, has quite a rare drop....
Bottom line is, that I would like to see more items, for slots other then the Talismans' one, capable of providing a Crafting success bonus in addition, and stacking with, that provided by regular crafting Talismans.
And this, for all of the Crating skills.

If you do find one of the 3, how many attempts did it take to make 20? What enhancements were you wearing while making them? When you find the difficult ones, you will need to answer, why was I making this item.
you get the higher % from the ones that are worth more points.
I only use them when I know something important will be destroyed.
Example: I used them when we were making ethereal soulbinders
because it used 20 sand and there was such a low success rate.
I don't use them for everything
For example, of the 8 main crafting skills, I am not aware of ANY item, besides the regular crafting Talismans (Mondain's Legacy...), for Tailoring, Tinkering and Bowcraft/Fletching.
And for the others for example, there is quite a difference in the "added" crafting success boost which a Blacksmith can achieve with the Ancient Hammers as compared to, say, the ridicolously low +5% regular/+3% exceptional boost that a Carpenter can get from using an expensive (600 Sovereigns) Woodworker's Bench....
Alchemists can stack the bonus from the Hygieia's Amulet with the regular Talisman, just like Cooks can, albeit ony for the exceptional crafted items success rate thanking to being able to wear an Apron, but Scribes cannot, since their only crafting success item coming from BODs reward is a Talisman and thus, it is an "either/or" with the regular crafting Talismans....
It is inconsistent and, to my opinion, totally imbalanced with some crafting skills having way more options as compared to other crafting skills....
Personally, I think that such an imbalance among crafting skills' success rate boosting items should be rectified....
I'm still waiting to see his specific scenario on the Max Stats which he conveniently ignored (as usual).
of the ingredients you need so less failure rate on simply creating the items would be a nice quality of life improvement.
Carpentry, how many items are you making? Usually one or two since they wiped out most of the bods for them.
Any of you tell me what item you think is too difficult.
You may hit one of the 3 that are but probably not because those have little use.
NL will have easy button crafting. For now you'll just have accept a couple of failures.
I see no imbalance they all have difficult items that cause a few failures if you have the correct talisman and apron for cooking.
Let's hear it. Put your crafting where your mouth is. What items are too difficult?
Not one person has given an example of an item that is too difficult to craft with what we have.
Again a simple matter of consistency across skills....
Nobody uses them because crafting has needed improving for a long time
That is not the topic of this thread.
Maybe a more consistent game is what you need to find and play. Not a 25 year old game where different developers added different things. Not many areas in UO are consistent so UO is consistent in being inconsistent.
Just because you do not want 120 crafting skills does not mean others do not.
Just because you do not use something does not mean others might not but I guess @Pawain decides what does and does not get done in UO.
I also notice how you are trying to change stuff around, typical of you.
Im about to make those difficult items, I already see you did not give me much of a challenge.
Student Frodo said:
And to prove how little you know Tiger armor, Garg armor, Dragon Turtle Armor
I see you did not even look up % chance to make the items you said were difficult.
The ONLY item you listed that would not be 100/100 with a 30/30 Tali is the Dragon Turtle Armor.
The most difficult Garg Armor would be the chest 100/100 with a 30/30 Talisman.
I only have a 23/19 Smith Tali because there is no need to make those easier.
But the %s are below.
My Tailor Tali is 30/28
The Tiger stuff is 100/100
The most difficult items are the Dragon Turtle Armor. But the %s are below.
With a good Talisman, anything requiring 90 skill will be 100/100
The only time you fail is with items that require more than 100 Skill.
Can someone actually prove that we need more items to increase the crafting % when All I see is 100/77% as the most difficult so far. (there are 3 more difficult ones, but yall cant find them)
I think @McDougle @popps and @Lord_Frodo just want to ride on the easy bus.
Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
Here are % when using the best tools:
I still see no difficulty here.
But This Tali was a sweet find off some Peerless. Blessed, owned by, 30/30
With Valorite chosen.
