Alchemy Test Kiln Experiment 0% success?!?

patersmith66

Ok I have the skills R8+2 and all the materials to do a test kiln experiment.

6 stomach meds + funnel + ventus reduction.

I did the experiment 100 times.. ALL FAILED.

this can't be right.  It used up materials .. and wore down my kiln durability,

but zero results, not even the common regular success. of "sober"

I am trying to make (great success) headache meds.

Ventus Reducitons are NOT easy to make and I just blew 100 of them.

Thanks for looking into this.

I re-checked my results.

I only did 90 tests.

20 x "your materials have undergone a violent reaction in the course of the experiment and vanished"

(all components vanish  6 stomach meds, funnel and ventus reduction)

70 x "nothing changed (some components vanish, usually just the ventus reduction)

My alchemy skill is base R8 in the alchemy job and I am using a +1 academic tam and +1 emerald tablet.

the test kiln is a regular +2 kiln, not the basic +1, nor the +3 consumables adv. kiln. I gained 1.5 alchemy skill xp per experiment.

Jun 23, Day 249

Frustrated with the results of my
headache meds, I sail to NA to collect and fill my quarters with berries. While
collecting berries,  I decided to test
out my other theories, when I go back to Istanbul to deliver berries.  I started by using the other R10 Recipes at
the kiln, they use distillers instead of funnels and I got 3 successes 1 great
sucess and 1 fail on 5 tries.  I think i
found the problem.  I scanned down to the
recipes that needed a test tube or funnel.. and found the recipes that I wanted
were in the lower section... and that
section needs a lab bench instead of a test kiln! Now I still think there
is a glitch, because when I was not equipped with my tam and emerald tablet
(only R8) it says no recipes are available at the kiln. When I equip them, the
experiment shows up at the kiln with the funnel or test tube.. but they should
not show up here. I should not get any recipes or it should show a blank where
the testing equipment shows up as I was only carrying funnels and you cannot
use funnels with stomach meds to make anything at a kiln.
