Double Smelting Ore? Help Plz

[Andy8554]

Hey guys,

I am 110 mining and still fail to double smelt iron ore each time I am near a forge. The system message when I succeed goes something like, "you skillfully extract ore...." I love it when that happens because I get double the ingots.

Does this happen every time at a higher level ie 115 or 120 mining for smelting iron ore?

Thanks Guys

I wouldn't know... but making sure you are well fed/drank before smelting would increase your chances regardless. Food and water makes a big difference on success rates here.

Where can I get water?

Any bar or inn, ask the waiters.

I dont double smelt every time at 115 and wearing +3 gloves. I dont know what the rate is, but I suspect ~60% will double. I always split my piles into two before smelting.

Why split? I wouldn't think that would affect your long-term ingot return.

It makes me feel better. I dont think it makes any difference as far as the math.

I try to be polite. As far as the math, it makes no difference.

My bad if i came across rude, I certainly didnt mean to.

I also wonder if at 120 and +5 mining gloves would you be able to double more often or always get double.

Totally agree. Does anyone have 120 mining and know this????

Thanks!

I tried to buy a 120 mining last night, but no luck. I highly doubt it though. I think you might go as high as 80% chance though.

This isn't official but, I believe "Double Smelting" is the same thing as exceptional chance for every other trade profession. I would venture a guess that if you're GM your chances to double smelt iron would be around 58%. Add 10% if you're in Brit crafting area. Not sure what the effect of a legendary scroll or +5 gloves would do but, it would probably follow the same formula as blacksmith exceptional chance.

Matrix is pretty close to the real #'s. it's like 50% at gm or something, and each 10 skill is another 5% iirc. Maxing at like 60% @ 120.

Wouldn't that make it max at 70%?

Also, does the crafting bonus apply to smelting? I looked through the runuo code today for mining and none of this stuff is in there so no help.

Please re-read.
@ gm skill, it's 50% chance to double smelt.
110 will give 55% chance
120 will give 60%

I fail at reading comprehesion. My bad.

EPPY thanks for the help man... I appreciate it... I guess I will just make sure I split my piles to maximize double smelting ore.
