I am a junior spellcrafter but cannot seem to imbue a full charge of say 28/28 points on an item. The points are right but it says I do not have enough skill.

What skill is required to full charge (but not overcharge) an item?

You might be trying to use a gem that is too high to make in your template like a precious gem is too high if your a Junior Spellcrafter, but makable by a Senior Spellcrafter. I know since 700 skill I can do even 51 suits with no overcharging. You just have to make the stats on the items more even and not have one really high with 3 low gems as you will not be able to craft the higher gem. I can only guess that is what you were trying to do since you didn't give any info on what exact gems you were using to imbue and the quality and level of the armor/weapon in question.

Also if your new to Uthgard we use the old way of crafting here and you need an older version of a SC crafting calc as the imbue points are based on the quality of the item. Not like on live where they changed it a few years back so everything there has MP imbue points.

99q af 102 leather 28 imbue points

3 x 7% resists
1 x 13 quickness stat
28.5 imbue points

I use Korts 1.45 and Moras 1.74 versions to confirm. When I went to combine it told me I did not have enough skill (5xx skill and I created the gems). Seems like bug or at least different from old s/c when I did it years ago.

hm normally you should be able to combine that.
at least i had no problems combining gems (no overcharge) when i was skilling up my spellcrafters.
maybe your skill in gemcutting isnt high enough dunno if that sideskill matters though.

Put any lowlevel gem in the spellcrafting window on the item, to see how many Imbue Points it has on Uthgard. Maybe it has only 27, that would be an explanation.

Really Really unsure about whats comming now, cause it happend just once to me, and some time ago...

Once i tried to spellcraft an item with a max of 12 imbue points (no overcharging - maybe some points more or less, but still low level item, quali somthing between 97 and 99). Skill level was about 350 or something and only up to tier 3 gems (7 Qui, 3 Skill or something)

Had 12,5 out of 12 imbue points. Meaning normally no overcharge. But it displayed something 'you do not have have skill' but dont remember if it told 'you do not have have skill to overcharge this item' or somthing else. I changed the gems to 12 of 12 and it worked.

Is far as know, my low Spellcrafter is still existing (actually using some other Craftertoon- *wink to rector* ). I will do single test later on.

Maybe, just a guess, there is a single IF-Then, quecking for Overcharging like IF imbuepoints > imbuepoints_item then check for legendary to overcharge... Could just be the half imbuepoint -> Half point aren't displayed, but they are still there. Item of the first post would be 28.5 of 28

Is mentioned above just a wild guess, maybe the whole post is crap

if you are in Hib or Mid then i can log a leg Spellcrafter and try to imbue for you maybe we find the mistake that way

Thanks for the help looking at this bug/situation.

I am in Alb so unfortunately I cannot take you up on your kind offer. I did have a legendary (not LGM) do the combine and they had no overcharge message and it worked.

Maybe 28.5/28 is an o/c? The points individually did not add up to 28.5 on screen (I checked each gem individually).

28,5 is no overcharge on 99% af 102 armor
and the gems you tried to imbue are exactly 28,5
did you double check the armor ? many times ppl mix up lvl 48 leather inlays with the lvl 51 armor ^^

Yes af 102 99q leather sleeves (I am wearing them). 28 points imbue when I tested it.

Bug?

honestly dont know sorry
i can only speak for myself but i did 2 spellcrafters
and with both i used to imbue armor while skilling and never had any problem.
after each gem you put in the window you see how many imbue points used, and the chance to make fireworks ect.
i assume it gives you the message that you dont have enough skill after you put in the 4th gem ?
afaik every spellcrafter no matter what skill level can imbue any lvl armor as long as the gems are within the range of 100 skillpoints.
maybe a screen would help.
i bet its just some stupid little thing that makes that message appear ^^

Yes. As I put the 4th gem (no matter which one) I would get that message. It did confirm the values of each gem correctly as I put them on in different orders. It also confirmed 28 imbue points.

I wonder if someone else can confirm test. 51x skill (I forget exactly)

Alb 99q 102 padded leather sleeves
7% thrust
7% slash
7% crush
13 quick

Cheers!

Thats normal here on Uthgard. Dunno if it was the same case on live tho.
For each 100 points in spellcraft you can imbue up to 5 points. Means on skill 400 you should only be able to imbue 20Points. On skill 500 25imbue points and so so.

Had those problem myself and just figured that out. Not exactely sure if the number are correct. Maybe it's so that you can imbue 5points from 1-99, 10points from 100-199 and so on ... just try it
