Metallurgic Skills

[pestilence2]

I asked about this in the announcements thread, but still cant understand why it's not working. I have a character with a complete set of metallurgic skills. He dig iron ochre and then smelts it. But the result of smelting is totally same for character without metallurgic skills. How to get additional metal from these skills?

i think all this skills just making great chance to turn on wrought bars from bloom ,and higher chance to get ore when you digging from iron walls.About smelting i'm not sure ,i'm always getting random bars,with 3 smelters getting about 6-9 bars

I do think it boost smelting outcome a little,
Smelting ore mined by character with the skills gives on average more iron bars for me than before i bought the skills.
Before it was like ~1,5 iron bar per smelt, now it's ~2 iron bars.

And skills make huge difference when making wrought iron, before it was like 40% succes to get wrought from bloom, now it's like 80%.

Who dug the ore? That's the character that applies the skill benefit, not who puts it in the smelter.

I thought skills only affect chance of getting ore when mining (not when smelting) and wrought iron. Isn't this right?

i think you right too ,but i should agree with previous reply about getting ore with high chance to smelt into bars .But who knows i'm gonna test with deep Artifice skill ...

Ore was mined by character with all skills.

We have implemented a plethora of new skills which, when you have all of them, increase the yields from treeplanting, forging wrought iron, unraveling silk cocoons, mining ores, and farming, to what they in Legacy were on +5 nature/industry personal beliefs respectively.

So it should increase yield of metal from smelter just like with +5 industry slider.

A character with no skills has about 5% chance of Iron Ochre turning into Cast Iron bar.
A character with all the skills except for Artifice has 10% chance.
A character with Artifice has 15% chance(actually, I'm not sure about that, didn't mine much after taking this skill, 15% is what I got, mb higher, mb a bit lower)

But, considering 150k skill for farming gives you one shitty extra seed(srsly, 15 instead of 14 wth), Artifice should make your chance something around 10.5% instead of 10% without it. xD

That's why. You got the boosted results for both sets because who mines it is the only time the skills are applied for the chance for ore to produce a bar.

The same results I received even before these skills have been added.
