Well, I suppose whether you succeed or fail the first step is to try. That sounds like a corny motivational poster someone would put in an office! :lol:

Isn't there a chance that anything above 85 % chance won't give you XP on failing. For me it seemed that failing on planks stopped bringin' me XP after I reached 85 %.

As i said the actual xp u gain by craft is much less. According to formula 85% success means one should get 150 points by craft fail. But actually u must be getting around 15 points . That's why it might seem not to be not gaining craft xp

I'll resurrect my thread for another question, because why not?

I have a fairly lower level mage alt that I don't do much with. I figure while my main is off galavanting around I might as well try to get some magic trunks with my alt on an old phone. (Yeah, mages aren't a great choice, I know.) My alt is now skill level 3 for chopping +150 or so and I don't believe he has gotten any magic trunk yet. You don't need to get to a certain point to get to magic trunks, do you? I'm sure he just stinks at his job, but figured I'd ask.

The skill level is actually a speed level. A level 10 chop will be faster than your level 3 and so increase the chance of getting magic trunks because of the sheer volume of their drops. They aren't better than you, just faster.

That's what I figure, but it just seems odd. I know how percentages/odds work, so it's not like one "needs" to drop because others haven't before (presumably it's straight chance and not a minimum drop rate). Given the number of trees felled it is just odd, but such is life.

On a semi-related note, my apologies to Ardesia and her namesake city for what has happened to all of her trees many times over!

I did feel a tiny bit of regret each time, and if I got a magic trunk I'd stop! :)
