Not A Bug Spellbook improvement talisman not working crafting scrappers.

[Bob]

Crafted 4 scrappers, did not use any charges from tali, and had no extra mods.
crafted a normal spellbook, used a charge from tali.

Im told on EA the tali does improve Scrappers / add more mods.

Our scrappers already have the power to be much better than productions.

IE - the SDI range increases.

I'm not sure "more" power can be added to that and this may not be a bug. I'll need to look into it more.

Yeah, no plans to make scrappers even MORE powerful.

Talismans can also tip the odds in your favour - you'll want as much help as you can get, considering that failure could potentially destroy valuable ingredients

According to the uoguide link they seem to only be discussing crafting CHANCE and recommending an exceptional chance talisman to lower failing rates and thus save ingredients.

FIXED - Scrappers Compendium Extra Mods and Tali Bonus

So I have been getting a lot of requests lately for scrappers. Probably because uoguide.com says it always comes with its 4 base mods PLUS a chance at 3 extra ones. And the UO Admin seem to agree. I have never rolled a scrappers with extra mods. SO I went digging in the script...

I checked the talisman, it is working as it should.

Read this post:

guaranteed spellbook improvement talisman

So i did the whole crafting-thing for a few days working on inscription bods. I finally got my 500 points to claim a guaranteed spellbook improvement talisman. Out of everything on the crafting update, this was the one item that piqued my curiosity (the dyes are pretty though..) Went to copy...

Basically, IF it adds an extra property it takes a charge. It in no way will always do this. Look at @Magus Zeal post above. Sometimes crafted up to 5 with no bonus properties.

In no way will this talisman push property limits for the books over their max.

Thanks for confirming, as I was planning on testing it
