What do I need to be a good CUL/ALCH?

Mathemagically, it works out better. There is always the chance that it blows up in your face though. 100% chance actions can't blow up in your face.

Its a trade-off.

There is no trade-off. You're bringing superstition and imaginary magic into a numbers that can't lie. I never fail to HQ any of the MBIII synths, nor fail to max any scrip...and all I use is RS and HT to 11-stacks, byrgots, and CSII to finish. I don't even use Reclaim...it's not necessary. Nor do I ever use food, unless I want to synth very quickly several things for someone in a hurry.

Folks just need to get comfortable in executing the rotation properly with RS and HT, and stop confusing superstitious imaginary numbers with real statistics.

No one is as lucky as you then, Nanga. Don't spout as if it's the universal truth.

It's not luck That's superstition again. When you get used to ONLY using 100% success rate skills, you get superstitious and think failed RS/HT occur more often than they really do. It's 80%. That's all, nothing more, nothing less.

Edit: and honestly, it was another poster here several months ago that broke me of the habit of only using 100% success rate skills. Skills like that tend to get you into feeling like you need to use WN/II, Ingenuity, etc, which are CP burners you never really need to use.
