Etching

Where can I find Artisan Additive? Am I forced to buy it from the Tera Store? So far I can't find the Artisan Additive on my own means except the Tera Store. Help please?

    Cash shop or broker.

    Cash shop meaning Tera Store? When you say Cash Shop I'm thinking real freaking money here.

    EMP shop.

    Body is 1 characters too short.
  • JBGamingJBGaming ✭✭✭
    Yeah EMP shop is Tera Store. I think I'll pass that 15% to crit on an etching is not worth paying real money when its not 100% chance to crit.

    Thanks for answering.

    And is not even a 15% chance, Is your (chance of crit) * 1.15

    I don't think I need a picture.

    Artisan Additive
    Uncommon
    No Sale Value
    Additive Increases Critical success chance by approximately 15% for crafting artisan items. Consumed each time. Not necessary, but useful for artisan crafting.

    Average Brokered Sale 1,213 gold 18 silver 43 copper.


    It doesn't say 115% or I would understand your use of the decimal there....

    So I am confused as to why you even commented 1.15. Sorry but can you be more clear. All I know is what it says the percent chance is. To me specifically 15% is not really much at all. Especially to get it with real money. So not worth it.

    Like I said. 100% chance then yeah maybe..depending on if I really want to spend the cash.

    The additives don't add, they multiply. So even if it said 100% it is multiplying by 100% and not adding 100%. Which means, it wouldn't be a guaranteed crit.

    Ok now I am really super confused. Tera math just .. starting to sound like trig or calc..Which I don't know either.
  • JBGamingJBGaming ✭✭✭
    So how would I know what I am doing then on crafting etches? Soon I'll be working on the second etch test now on my priest. Is there a guide that helps me understand the etching process..like how do you actually know what your crit chances are for etching..

    Not like I am in combat or anything.

    You don't know your crit chance. It's RNG. Some days you can crit 3/3 on tier 2 etchings and I've had others where I've gone 0/15. I would not recommend crafting anything other than dendrites unless you are prepared to lose potentially a lot of money. Every tier 3 glove/weapon etching attempt costs like 25k gold. If you don't crit, you lose 23k. And the crit chance even with master additive is pretty [filtered]. Etchings is honestly not worth the investment to do especially with how easy it is to get etch IV's now.

    I don't think there is info about your "critical success chance" ratio.

    But think about it, just say that "x" is your critical success chance and its ratio is 3%.

    If you use the additive then you will have x+x*15%, that will give you 3.45% of critical success chance using the additive.
