I'd say the craft would have to be HQ to be considered successful...

In a market, where there's no personal distinction, that randomness is what keeps people apart. It's the only thing keeping you afloat over another person who does not know what he's doing..

You can still nq due to bad RNG, sure... but that rare loss should be infrequent enough to make your money.


With something like an Arachne Robe, you're not really seling the finished product as a secondary producer of goods. You're actually the primary harvester of materials, that just refines it into an item with wider market audience and faster turnover.. i.e. People selling Arachne Robe may just be someone who happened to get the mats from running coils and had some extra sol left over, then figured might as well get rid of'em for some profit. As somebody who buys mats from the MB, you won't be able to compete with them..
