No, I get it, the game is supposed to be fun in the same way that cooking is fun, ie based on feeling rather than exact science (if you cook strictly by the recipe, I feel sorry for you). But cooking blindfolded isn't fun, because you'll wind up using completely wrong ingredients and ruining everything.

It isn't complicated. All you need to think about is matching proficiencies between the two items, preferring low difficulty numbers allround, and having high values in the proficiencies that do match.

Ok I know this is probably my first post ever on the forums itself. But I do have to say that this is the exact conclusion I reached after tinkering with clothing and items right after the update. I think you are all trying to over think this one. This is a good break from the pure math involved with every other aspect to the game. A little intuitive guesswork is good for the mind.

Love the update Jorb. Keep at it man.

just to clarify if you don't have matching proficiencies in the artifice and clothing do your proficiency values come into play or do they only come into play when there is a match.

Only when they match.

Only when they match.

Are you basing that on what jorb said or from what ender discovered in the function?
because it seems that jorb hasn't been quite clear on this, and ender only got part of the function without fully knowing how it works.

but if your sure ill go with your answer.

There are 2 ifs in the op and they don't depend on each other. But they add up for the final difficulty obviously.

edit:

If the proficiencies in the artifice item and the target equipment match, and if you have high values in those proficiencies, your chance of success increases toward the easy end of the difficulty range.

i have no idea what you just said

Anyway, I think weapons should have slots too.

They will.

Can we have slots for our slots?
