Undead rogue 19% self spell failure

[Manica]

I am an undead rogue with 15% guilds (80-100% BE) since age start. I only casted self spells and a few ritual spells. 47 out of 58 self spells are succesful. That is 81%. I am even failing simple minor protection spells...:S can you check if there is something wrong? I would expect a success rate on self spells of 98% or higher. (I am not human ;-))

Why would you expect 98% success rate with only 15% guilds? We have not changed self spell success rates.

Hi Bishop,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. 98% may not be correct with 15% guilds. But is 81% not low with 15% guilds?



From memory - as I cannot find more in Wiki - I believe the minimum guild level should be 10% (with 100% BE), else the success rate drastically reduces. Spell [I]duration[I] is best served with 20% guilds (at 100% BE). From experience (I played this games many years), I always have a good success rate, way above 90%. 81% seems so low. Especially as it is on 50-ish spells.
In any case, I might have just been unlucky.

Hai Manica, I rarely answer mechanics questions but I will address this.

Self spell success is based fully on the % amount of guilds you possess.

Ops on others is wpa:wpa for success.

The % of guilds decides the duration and is modded by BE.

The seminal article on this was by Clampy.

Edit 2: Hopefully thats the one, if not further Clampy articles on that utimes.org place will give it.

Thanks Makeo. I am aware of the mechanics :)

And this thread can be closed. The 'normal' amount of succesful spells is happening now. It must have been a stroke of bad luck.
