Correct me if I'm wrong but that is 1/5000 chance of happening.

Gems:
3x99 1x98
4x99

I'd say you had a 2% chance and a 1% chance to fail and it happened.

Hooray for non-livelike explode chances.

There is a Tracker for this Problem.

Individually yes. But back to back like that is MUCH slimmer...

explode chances are different from live.

#1
on live you would be sucessfull for 5 point OC even with 99-99-98-98,
you may needed several tries for sucessfull combine,
but never got item loss/explode with that combination.

#2
on live the item quality does not affect the combining process.
for example, a 95% item has less imbue point space, but
could OC'd with 5 points as well. for this reason, bad quality
items could be equalized by some points OC.


on uthagrd this is complete different:
the item quality affects the explode chance.

99% item: 4x99 needed for 1% explode / 100-99-99-99 für 0% explode
100% item: 4x99 needed for 0% explode
OC even with only 1-2 points OC on items 98% or lower: high explede chance

the 1% chance is real... had several explodes aready, so for expensive 99% parts
like chain/plate chests / legs/head you should use 100-99-99-99 cobination
to be safe.
you should

2 days ago i exploded my legendary 2 hand hammer with 2% chance

Bring some proof and we will implement it like this.

I don't speak German

The changes you speak of (no exploding item) are from 1.87+. Gems are still lost. Also, the exploit of combining 3, then combining 1 only works because the item is no longer lost.

I think this is the most important part. It was found in an old German Crafting Forum.

This ist the most important part:

- die itemqualität ist für das überladen / explosions chance unerheblich, egal ob 94% oder MP *
- für 0% explode bei +5 reicht eine quersumme von 394 entspricht (99-99-98-98)


- Itemquality is irrelevant for the explosion chance
- for 0% explode chance @ +5 overcharge you should have a cross sum of 394 (99-99-98-98 gems)

But one thing bugs me a bit. There is a Tracker for the issue and then we get this:

Bring some proof and we will implement it like this.

Dont know if i should lough or break out in tears...

A tracker for an issue reported almost 4 years ago and has been reported many times since with most GM's requiring additional proof than has already been provided. I wouldn't count on anything changing sadly.

That's exaclty what i did on many craft items, for a lot of template for BG to end game, with a wide range of quality item. And i NEVER explode a single item.
