It is purely the difficulty of the item to be slotted that effects the chance of success on slotting an item? As well as the difficulty of the item to be slotted into it. So if I were to buy a low difficulty article of clothing my chances of slotting with low T&N are the same as someone with a higher T&N?

Also what is better for a hunting/combat set, higher damage or defense? Or is a combination better?

Thanks in advance for any help.

i dunno im just noob but from what i get its like this.

the person who creates the clothes needs Threads and Needle to create clothes with less difficulty.

and the person who slots the items into the clothes needs the stats listed in the artifact.

the hunt question i dunno

For artifact , you're right the difficulty for slotting are depending on your proficiencies listed in the artifact and on the difficulty of the clothes . So if you want to slot an artifact which doesn't need T&N , you ' ll have the same chance of slotting with a low T&N than someone with a high T&N.

In my memory it used to work like this , but I'm not really sure :
- First your proficiencies are compared to the artifact list to lower the difficulty . For exemple for a mined gem like Dravite which is a 15 to 5 Law& Lore difficulty : with 0 in L&L you''ll have a 15 "base difficulty" so 85% chance of slotting in 0 difficulty clothes . With thousands of L&L you''ll have a 5 "base difficulty" so 95% chance of slotting in 0 difficulty clothes. With 50 L&L you should have 10 "base difficulty" : (5+ (15-5)/2) ; with 100 L&L you should have 8 "base difficulty" : (5+ (15-5)/3), with 150 L&L 7.5 (5+ (15-5)/4)...
- After that you check the cloth difficulty. If you have a 90% "base difficulty" , then you'll have 90% "final" slotting chance in a 0 difficulty cloth , 85.5% chance in a 5 difficulty cloth (90 base x95%) , 81% chance in a 10 difficulty cloth (90 base x90%) ... 67.5% chance in a 25 difficulty cloth (90 x75%)

But I'm not sure of my memory , and I'm not sure it's up-to-date !


For hunting combat set , all depends on you , on what (who ? ) you hunt , on your purchasing possibility (bear paws / argo branch / ... / are really expensive) .
For exemple in my opinion it's better to have a defensive set against deer to defend against his 15 damage charges ; but it's better to have an offensive set against bear because you want to kill it as soon as possible to avoid him to launch too much "Fear".
