What is wrong with reclaim?

[XiXiQ]

then you are doing something horribly wrong at crafting.

You mean like expecting the overall RNG average to be well.... average? Expecting PBP to not fail more than 10%? expecting up to 10-11 HTs under SH2 to actually succeed 8 times? Expecting RS to not fail 3 times in a row? It's one thing to be a butterfingers or miscalculate and lose your mats - quite another to have nothing but dumb luck doing it. Don't confuse luck with skill.

I have been making HQ artisan tools, just for myself. When you make 3 artisan tools in a row, all in the 89-96% HQ range - what would you expect to get? I know what I got - 3 NQ. I also know I have never managed to get reclaim to work more than 2-3 times on each attempt to make one (that's if it doesn't fail first try, which it has done to me on 3 occasions now). And guess when I am forced to employ reclaim anyway? yes, when RNG falls outside the norms, which is something it shouldn't be doing with such regularity.
