ReplySO under the new mech split and crafting mechanics scraping skins no longer works mech lore and I get that.
my question is what affects your success/failure now?
a) your ranks in skinning
b) quality of tools
c) your personal stats
d) all of the above.
I took an almost 2 year break from the game and only ever used/had store bought scrapers and since i've gotten back I've noticed that i seam to be maring my pelts and skin more frequently.
While i'm on the topic i pull 99 percentile perfect hides from gargoyles and snowbeasts (i know your all happy for me) does the quality of a pelt affect its value or is it just the same.
>a) your ranks in skinning
I do not believe so, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I believe it's outfitting skill only. If not, then it's a very odd departure from other systems.
>b) quality of tools
Yes. Better tools basically give you a skill bonus.
>c) your personal stats
No. As of current systems, while stats may speed things up, they don't affect your chances of success.
>Tools do not affect success, only speed and their own durability.
What I think the poster meant to say is that as long as it's masterfully-crafted, then you're getting the best bonus you can. The type of scraper only affects the ratio of speed to durability.
>Does the workability of the skin matter?
Yes. Lower workability skins increase the difficulty to perform all steps.

I'm not getting enough sleep in grad school! I didn't see the part where he was using store-bought tools... listen to Caaramon, not I. You might also want to check if your scraper is damaged with analyze.

It is. Scraping skins teaches -- and I would presume uses -- skinning. I suppose outfitting could be involved? I can't recall anything to that effect. It can be useful to make up some of the skinning exp that's been lost with kill speed.

>sorry meant the unless you've chosen outfitting as a career or hobby as a question.
Oh. Yea I was confused by that sentence. No, choosing outfitting as a career or hobby will not 'allow' you to learn outfitting from scraping skins, nor is there a tech that enables this. Nor do I think there would be an analog in the other creation systems.
Indirectly, obviously, since you can scrape skins and then use them to create outfitting products.
