on July 21st Odin decreased the chance for crafters to make exceptional items (due to legendary items bumping to 160) my question is - have you reduced it so much now that you need to have 160 blacksmithy now to equal what 150 used to be?
I did a little bit of testing of my own. I have spec 3 crafter base with 123 bs and 121 arms lore also have the items to get to 150bs/150armslore & spec4
so spec 4 150/150: 150 attempts - only 10 lavarock bp were exceptional spec 3 just +18 hammer (141 bs): 100 attempts - 12 lavarock bp were exceptional spec 3 no items: 73 attempts(ran out of ingots) only 1 was exceptional
This needs to be rebalanced imo - i wanted to make a set of high end armor for my ranger, but i think i'll hold off now looking at how ridiculously hard it is to just make exceptional lavarock ffs.
Maybe some opinions from spec 5's out there who havent been lucky enough to find legendary crafting items?

Great research! I was not even aware that this had been changed, but balancing exe chance for 160 might be a bit tough on everyone who hasn't found legendary bs items.
I haven't done a lot of smithing with my crafter lately though but trying to make exceptional sparring armor a while back I gave up and settled for regular.

we have done the tests with a spec 4 crafter with 160 and with 125 BS
at 125 crafting: made about 2 exceptional items per 20 items crafted.
that is the right ammount we planned on.
you guys think it's not enough so i will increes it a ittle bit at the next reboot, i've put it in the scheduled reboots and updates list.

So 2/20 is equal to 10%. I can live with that. But what level of ore are you talking about? Anything under crystal is pretty useless. And maybe you should test like 1000 loops to get a good idea. My problem is I was level 4 with 150 bs and getting 6% exe on lavarock. .. pretty different from what you claim the rate is right now (unless of course your using ice rock or some other crap ore) is there anyway to reset the crafting to the way it was from 0 - 150 and then only have a slight increase for the 151-160 range? If not thats just punishing 95% of players who are never going to find legendary blacksmithy/carpentry etc. Items. The way it is now if have to probably have 100k zulu ore to craft a breastplate
