    Do you have information on the range of possible durability loss (and progress) for careful/rapid/standard? Does it depend on crafting stats at all?
    Standard - Max 25% Progress, Normal failure rate,
    Rapid - Max 35% Progress, High failure rate, No quality gain, no durability loss if success, high durability loss if not
    Careful - Max 5% Progress, Normal Failure rate (same as Standard), ~5x quality gain of Standard

    Quality gain depends on other factors so I won't bother guessing the amount.
    A value of around 30 is more or less normal for recipes around level using Careful. On low recipes, I have seen it hit 70+.

    "Normal failure" is somewhere between Standard and Careful rates in previous patch.
    i.e. Standard is nerfed with a higher failure rate.


    Crafting stats should still do more or less same thing as before patch.
    Craftsmanship affect progress, quality gained and success rate of an action.
    Control affect instability though now with the crafting nerf, it is significantly less useful. Less explosions and no quality loss even if exploded.

    It seems that stat enhancements on quality are now more noticeable, probably due more to the increase in quality gain from Careful than actual increase. E.g. 10% of 20 is less noticeable than 10% of 50.
