Thank you both for your response. Much like the post I was looking for a nee versions type of announcement. So, the current crafting situation is much more bleak than I thought then...
If item chance = base chance + (3 * affinity * level)
XP was listed as 1000 - (10 x item chance). As I got better at crafting, I needed more xp and got less per attempt. Based on my chance to craft. But in actuality, 10 times the increase from skill level is subtracted again?
Seems the calculation from that post and what we're doing is the same as:
1000 - (10 x item base chance) - (10 x skill increase) - (10 x skill increase)
So xp from fails is reduced twice by the increase from my skill. Oof. Thanks guys for all the explanations and help.

Wait... IF what I posted is correct, then when an archer is level 9, he will receive 0 xp for a fail to craft an Astral Robe...
Base chance is 19.5%. Increase from skill = 3 x 1.5 x 9 = 40.5
Chance of success = 60% (19.5% + 40.5%)
XP = 1000 - (10 x 60) - increase from skill (10 x 40.5)
= 1000 - 600 - 405
= -5 XP?!
Negative xp for failing a 60% robe? (Ok, or 0 if I'm not being dramatic...)
Someone please clarify or tell me I'm wrong though!

If I follow the revised formula and what example you give
1000-(19.5*10)-(30*9*1.5)
1000-195-405=400xp per fail
I dont think increase from skill is added into chance of success, it is subtracted only as the base chance is used only.

Maybe I didn't explain well. I'll go back to your original example:
Now it is for 1000 mage ring. 1000-(31*10)-(30*7*1)= xp per fail
1000-310-210=480 xp per fail
31% was your actual item chance. You get that from
craft increase (3 x 1 x level 7) = 21 + item base %
In this case item base % must be 10 since 31 -21 = 10.
So, for my example, the actual item % is 19.5% + 40.5% = 60%.
Giving me:
1000 - (60% x 10) - (30 x 9 x 1.5) = 1000 - 600 - 405
If not, then I should be getting more xp than I am currently. My actual rate is 51%. I'll wait and see if the others mentioned in the post above can confirm the numbers as suggested.

now that 30robea were moved from a shop item to being a drop this is a much needed "fix"

Craft level 9 archers will only gain experience for items with a base success rate of 10% or less.
I think Gullander's suggestion is very good.
I made 7 100boots from 70 needles before this,
I made 7 500boots using 7 Minotaur Hides.
And with the addition of 35 more Minotaur Hides, only one 750boots!
And it disappeared with Worm Skin, Devil’s Hoof...
Give love to Crafter.
