Have thimbles that can be equipped while slotting and if the slotting fails the thimble breaks and the slot still breaks but there is a chance that the artifact wont break. The better the thimble the lower the chance of the artifact breaking.
Wood Thimble 90% chance of artifact breaking
Bone Thimble 80%
Copper Thimble 70%
Silver Thimble 60%
Whale Bone Thimble 50%
Ivory Thimble(cash shop) Thimble 25%

Pretty much the same idea as heff's -1 for the same reasons.

Such a bad idea that jc should add several more silver sinks until the whining stops.

Dumb Idea

I don't like this idea, -1.

but, I would love to see an expensive 1-use item introduced that allows you the chance to repair broken slots on clothing and try again with another artifact. Making clothes over and over just because you broke a slot hurts my soul and ramps up the tedium 200%. A real tailor wouldn't think "oh I broke a seam, time to throw the whole thing out, gold lace and buttons all.".

No, a real tailor uses scissors to remove the good artifacts.

just bringing that back up

just tried to slot a Needle for someone and it had max 80% and failed, this is the 5th needle all tailors failed for him

7 parts piercing, 7 parts weaving = 14 parts * 5 = 70 Needles and this only counting if 5 fail each try sometimes i have more 80% failing (else with even chantilly lace or bear paw having max 80% sometimes for a single good item of clothes you can waste 100-200k....)

there should be a way for HIGH Tailors to increase the chance...

If you want get a good clothing you must spend a lot of resources, this is good. But we really need to see a real chance for slotting, not this stupid 80%. Obviously this affected by some hidden parameters and needle slot chance is much lower than 80%. I broke 6 of 8 my needles at 80% chance.

I use always needles of heff and asdrubael for tailoring clothes and slot for my last work I lost 5 needles 4 admiral coat 5 condottires cap 2 cheers shoes and lots clothes
break needles have 80% chance always it broken always if we want be sure with no bad luck it look like the hard chance for needles close to 60% or less mean like 95% can break
same with eden lace and chantilly lace eden 85% it look 70% break chantilly 80% it look 50% break
its real problem

80% chance for us its 50%

Meanwhile other players slot five things perfectly on the first try. It's just bad luck and confirmation bias.
