I am a 250 JCer and I have my eyeglass trophy as well. I have also sunk a few AA pts I currently have JCM2 which is a 25% less chance of failure. I had all the components to make one of thse stashed in bank and today i decided to try it. Failed the first combine. Tried it in PoK. Then i gathered up another 4k to buy the needed components to try again, and you guessed it. FAILED! This time I tried it in the bazaar. Not sure if high traffic zones have any effect on sucess, but im startig to think it does. Perhaps next time I'll try it in Freeport lol.
Your eyglass only gets your skill up to 252 - that's the cap on tradeskills. The triv on this is 250+ and, from what I can see, its probably 270+ and seems to have a fail rate of 20-30%. When you make one it's just a crap shoot.
Not sure what you mean by JCM2, do you mean SCM2? If so, this affects spells only - not trade skills. Sadly, there are no AA abilities which affect tradeskills (be nice if there was).
High traffic does not affect success either, the ONLY thing that affects success is your current (modified) skill level which you have maxed out. Sorry bud you were just unlucky and there is nothing more you can do to improve your chance of success.
JCM2 is Jewelcraft Mastery 2. Jewelcraft Mastery is an Enchanter only AA. Max is JCM3, which reduces chance of failure on jewelcraft combines by 50%. My chanter also has JCM2 and needs 4.5 more AA to get JCM3.
After GMing Jewelry last week, a friend gave me 7k to make him one... Well I got all the ingredients for not one but 2 of these.. Figured I'd give my guildy one and sell the other for a nice profit...
Bam! Fail the first, succeeded on the second.
At any rate my guild friend gets his ring but no profit for me. Losing a potential 6 - 8k on a single failed combined is SOOOO depressing...
Anyway. No useful info, just talking. It's a fabulous ring, htough. I see why it's in such high demand.
If you are on Karana and need one, or some of jewelry Item, just look me up!!!
If you or anyone for that fact has ANY trade skill at GM status especially one so pp intensive as JC then failure on high priced combines shouldn't be a stranger to you lol. While I am sure ya never get used to it, I would imagine the fact that it CAN and usually does happen is a constant reminder of how much it sux and why we should sack the entire staff at verant. :)

Was just curious if someone could post a walkthrough for making one of these things. I got a little lost when trying to figure out how the Imbue Spells factored into the making.
Could anyone that has made these a time or two do a step-by-step on them?
