Any tips/tricks to enchancing?

[Bruin]

So I tried enchancing a bunch of luck armor for a guildmate , each had 60+ luck, a lot of nice ones with 80+ luck on them, with spined leather.  Succeeded on only 1 out of 14 items, the other 13 items were destroyed.  Is that normal?  Just seems such a high failure rate.  Felt bad telling the guildmate that I destroyed most of his stuff (I don't craft/enchance much).

I am a 120 tailor.  Did I do anything wrong?  Should I wear a tailoring talisman when I enchant?

Nope, that is about the way of it, although you were probably a little unlucky with only one out of 14. Perhaps 2-3 would be the average.

There is a bit more on the Stratics calculator.

The enhancing RNG sucks.

I once tried to enhance 20+ metal items that had 80+ luck with gold ingots and every single one broke...

I call it destoying. Seems that about 80% of what I try to enhance dissapears.

[Sir Morder]

enhancing metal is far easier when using a +60 ASH.

[Inspiration]

Yeah, enhancing is painful, and enhancing for other people is even worse, because I feel bad about breaking the stuff

The more mods & the higher the mods the greater the chance for breaking.  I enhance a lot of low luck stuff like you were trying.  Even on that the break rate is about 75%.  On better stuff it is even higher.  I once had about 20 pieces that were from 90-100 luck.  After enhancing I think I ended up with 2 and none of the 100's survived.

Morder is also correct.  Metal items and a +60 hammer improve your odds.  Of course that doesn't help on leather.
