i know that if u make a 5 points OC u need high quali gems...
but what if it is 1-2-3-4 points oc... how much does the quali matters then?

Hi,

For overcharging I use the following gem-quality
5 points overcharge = 3 * 99%+ gems and 1 * 98%+ gem.
4 points overcharge = 3 * 99%+ gems and 1 * 98%+ gem.
3 points overcharge = 2 * 99%+ gems and 2 * 98%+ gems.
2 points overcharge = 1 * 99%+ gem and 3 * 98%+ gems.
1 point overcharge = 4 * 98%+ gems.

I've never had any problems.

98.5 average for 5 pts overcharge is good enough, 4 pts you prolly need 98 or 97.5 average.

up to 3 point overcharge i use random % gems and as long as all four are not 94% it has so far been ok. have done 3 point with 3 94% and a 96%.. only time i lost one was when i did a 3 point with 4x 94%gems.

Generally though in a 1 time make of four gems u will get at least 1 highish% gem in the mix. if not just make another

4 point overcharge i'd say all 98+ and 5 point overcharge 3x99% at least .

have done many in my time and only lost items when i have been pushing the limits

ty for all the responses...

Most of the times I just watch the % if it goes below 30 it will fail most of the times (on the SC calculator that is). So some points are easy doable if you got 1000+ SCer with 94% gems.

98,5 average on 5 pt. oc. Yet to blow or fail anything.

 

[Galoma]

mp and 99% ^^

is there any difrence when imbuing 99% and MP.. does the 98,5% / 30%+ still work? or do i have to be more careful when imbuing MP's ?
noob SC'er

yupyup, the calculated OC chances are bullshit.

so far i ran good with average gem quality like 99% for 5pt OC, 98% for 4pt OC 97% for 3 pt OC...

i always went this formula but had some blowups on bg-stuff with using 94% gems. so i decided to use no more 94% for OC>3, as if u are familiar with Leladia's calc, you will have mentioned no difference in OC chance by using 94% or even 95% gems. In fact i think there seems to be, and so i just stripped 94% qual for OC.

Another thing:
Don't take the 30% chance serious, or let you lead by that !!!
In my younger SC career (when i was 800+ SC) i did already quite some 5pt OC's. if you know leladia - again - you will know that a 5pt OC with a master SC gives 10% chance of success, in fact i made around 50 items (bg stuff with 5pt OC + also 2-3 sets of lvl51 stuff) and i never had any boom
