Christmas Contest

[Epimetheus]

In regard to the Christmas contest prizes....

Does a +3 tinkering tunic really help that much to put it up there with other prizes such as the twiggy?
I'm curious what kind of increase in % that would give you for crafting keys and such.

Just a random thought.
Comments?

I'm new, but I think I know the answer to that one.
When crafting a key you have a 40% success chance at skill 120. A tunic with +3 to tinkering would raise that chance to 46%.

Please correct me someone if I'm wrong.

Well, as of right now there is absolutely no way to get +Tinkering Gear on Whispering Pines...making this an extremely rare item. In fact, the only one on the shard. Also, we have had some crafters demand +Tinkering gear in order to increase their chances on making those coveted keys. It's the winner's choice upon their prize...some may go for this others may go for a twiggy while still others will want the deco items which will be on display shortly...The point of adding such a variety of prizes for this contest is to get more than just a handful interested. Everyone has a preference...I am just trying to give prizes in which everyone (regardless of their choice of play) will enjoy.

Hmm I am also as curious as Epi. What % will the +3 gives?

Storm,

I hope I didn't sound unappreciative. My lack of knowledge on the item makes me think it might not be as valuable as the others. I was just trying to get some reassurance as I plan on trying hard to win this contest. If I happen to be so lucky as to be one of the winners I'd like to be able to make an informed decision.

I always try to weigh out every decision I make in UO and it can get a little annoying at times.
I still have a twiggy because I'm scared to pick something and later find out it might not be the best choice. lol


Anyway, thanks for all you do here Storm.

I never said you were being unappreciative. I was just trying to explain the answer to its. Anyway...As to your question Vapress...It has already been answered by Bowran. Thank you

Thanks Storm,

Got the ring of rothgar and it is correct. Now I wonder what will another +3 gives hmm +_+
