With Max alch skill from gear, furniture, support, 2 rings that gave +1% HQ rate each, and even used some food. I just sat down with 24 Dragon Cuisses used to make cursed Cuisses, failed 4 (lost 2 pants) and HQ 2 of them, leaving me with 20 pairs of Cursed Cuisses and 2 -1s. I failed to turn any of those into Vodoo Cuisses (HQ) and walked away with 2 pairs of Bewitched (nq). so if this trend continues i'll need a total of 100 Dragon Curisses to make a 1 pair of Voodoo...
