So...you just farmed items for 2+ days, used all your stamina, got buffed, and pushed THE BUTTON. Did you fail? Did you succeed? Did you save anything? So many questions, so few answers. The likely answer is "I failed". You shall rant about it here, or maybe you were lucky and succeeded and saved everything. Pull up a stool, tell me your stories. If anyone knows about failing at inventing, it's me. I've failed many many many Wards. They made me FSP rich, then FSP poor. How poor you ask? I lost FSP in excess of 4 figures in about 48 hours failing on wards. I expect similar stories from the most recent new exciting items. My drinks are cold(colder than my heart) and the eyes and ears are open. Just don't cry at the bar, makes you look weak.

P.S. I don't want to hear about how rich you got from selling the items to inventors. INVENTORS ONLY!

How many hours did you have tied up in that? I got discouraged after 1 hour, only getting 1 linen. :(

I'm sitting here with 58 linens pondering what to do. Looking forward to more results to gauge risk:reward :)

I have various stouts, lagers, and ambers on tap.

This story will likely be the same for others. I honestly feel 10 FSP is pushing the limits on what the linens are actually worth in order to make any profit(on average) for this stuff...

I should note, success stories are ok :) I just know there won't be many. :lol:

I had luck farming, 5 linens in about 25 minutes, no other drops from him either.

I then bought a bunch more linens, succeeded on the first invent on the carapaces and proceeded to fail on the next 8 without a single save :(

A guildmate had much better luck inventing carapaces but failed the spike twice, so we sold the remaining carapaces and called it off as poor luck ;)

Ah, just what I need after a hard day in Dar Gromsol. The clientele here is a big improvement.

I spent about 1000 stamina getting together 3 linens and 5 scarab shells, then failed on the Carapace invention :) 0/1 for me - but I thought the event was a good success overall and the rates were about right for keeping things interesting.

On the plus side, I did make 460 gold from selling 3 shields and a couple of staffs in the auction house, so it wasn't a complete failure for me! ;)
