Deep artifice

Well, I've gone and spent my hard-earned LP buying this shitpile of a perk they call "Deep artifice". Since I've accumulated quite a load of Cast Iron bars, looking forward to making at least 50% of it Wrought Iron, as soon as I've bought the perk I fired up my finery forge, and after a few hours of smelting -- "Enjoy the greatest possible success when forging wrought iron" my ass, I do believe there's a typo here and it should say "greatest possible suck-cess": 90 bars of cast iron smelted into 60 blooms, and those 60 (sixty) blooms gave me 2 (two) bars of Wrought Iron and 58 bars of Cast iron.

That's a nice way of crippling one's production, guys. Not only I've spent a whooping 150k LP for nothing -- no, that's not the only case: now I also get a mere 3% chance of getting Wrought from a bloom.

Let this be a friendly warning to all the dedicated miners over there: DO NOT be stupid like me and get this Deep Artifice perk; not before a confirmation appears that it' either been fixed or someone had, indeed, had "the greatest success" advertised (which would mean I'm unlucky beyond the extreme point).

And, just saying -- those treehuggers get a Druid hat recipe when buying their 150k perk. We miners get a huge incapacitating handicap and no new items whatsoever. Great job guys. Great job.

Lol, i don't have deep artifice and out of the 50 blooms i've gotten, around 20 have become wrought.
Deep artifice probably helps the chance, but doesn't make you get a certain amount 100%, you simply just had bad luck. That doesn't mean the skill is bugged.

Wow. The RNGesus can be a cruel mistress.

Can't wait for Deep Artifice to unlock some variety of silk clothing.

Yeah, mining has been a whirlwind of RNGsuck. It's miserable.
“We still, alas, cannot forestall it-
This dreadful ailment's heavy toll;
The spleen is what the English call it,
We call it simply, Russian soul.”

Just finished a wrought run, starting with 48 cast iron. This is after the purchase of deep artifice.
After a couple of iterations of the finery forge with the initial cast iron and bloom spawned cast iron I have 24 wrought and 3 cast iron.

Not too bad overall I feel. It should be pretty easy to replicate.
