Masterwork calculation?

[Meph504]

I have a crafter (human inventor) whose crafting is 102, in the side bar before applying him to a job his crafting shows as 1022, when applying him to the job it shows 1278 under the job. his luck is 8.2 if that matters.

His masterwork chance is 32% on a crafting basket made of neutral material (ancient wood), his fail chance is 0%.

The thing is, on some crafting jobs like buildings this same crafter's percentage has jumped up to 52% I'm using neutral materials, can can't figure out what's trigger this 20% difference.

Hell I can't even figure out how the 102 equals 32% chance.

Anyone know the actual break down?

Some of it is material based. Wild essences can potentially produce the best stuff but also have the most effect on masterwork/fail chances. I'm sure Intelligence likely also plays another role in the calculation.

The only thing that should matter is your crafting skill and your distribution of resource types:
100% wild gives you 40% fail chance and -5% masterwork
100% improved gives you 10% fail chance and no difference in masterwork
100% neutral gives you 0% fail chance and 5% masterwork

All that is then modified by crafting skill. low amount will increase fail chance and lower masterwork, high amount will decrease fail chance and increase masterwork.

Sadly I'm not aware of the exact breakpoints for that.

Thanks for responding, I know about the material type differences, which is why I'm using neutral material.

Also, if you mouse over the crafting skill it will give you a break down of how the number is calculated, with int/wis/destiny contributing to the end result.

But sadly nothing like this for masterwork calculation.
