ive just about mined enough gold and iron to master my last smithing tier (or atleast i think expert is the last)..my question is..what is the point of mastery?
Mastering a tier allows you a chance to get a critical success when making an item. For prospecting, you may crit while smelting ore and get an extra bar of metal. For actual crafting skills (metalsmithing, woodworking, etc) you may get an item of exceptional quality. Items you collect while hunting may assist you in getting these critical successes -- click on the mastery tab at the bottom of your crafting windoe and it will say what critical item it uses and what the percentage chance of a critical success is.

"I want to be a unicorn!"

"So I can stab people with my face."

ahh ok..ive never had it happen...just finished my Gold expert mastery and yet another tier lol..any idea how many smithing tiers there are?
Every profession, gathering or production, has 5 tiers. Artisan and Mastery are the last two.
There is one benefit to mastering a gathering profession, and two to mastering a production profession. Gathering gets a 5% chance to produce triple of what you were going to refine (if you would have made 1 treated ash you could crit and make 2; if you would have madde 2 bronze ingots you could crit and make 6). On production profession you get a passive 5% chance to crit on everything you make, resulting in a higher quality item. You also get the ability to add a "special" ingredient which gives you a +44% chance to crit. With iron tools (2% crit chance) and a special ingredient you have a 51% chance to crit on anything you produce in your production craft, better tools might add more crit.

Perfect answer! I added it to my FAQ it was so damn good!
Actually Al, you're a bit off... if you normally make 1 you make 3, not two. The +44% item also increases the chance to an equal 50%
That's weird, I was thinking 3 and wrote 2. In my defense I said that when you make 2 bronze ignots (3 copper, 1 tin) you can crit to make 6.^^
As for the bonus crit item I bought one off the AH and gave it a try. You are correct, it displays 50% crit chance. I do not understand this though,as it says I have a base 5% and the item ups it by +44%.
-If the game added the percentages directly and simultneously then it'd be 49% crit chance
-If the game had a chance for one crit to occur, and if that failed then the other, then it would be a [1-(1-.5)(1-.44)]=46.8% crit chance
Something is being displayed incorrectly. I doubt the crafting system is so complicated that there is a hidden factor, rather that something is being rounded up. However with normal iron tools (+2%) it displays a 51% chance to crit. With crit iron tools (+4%) it displays a 53% chance to crit.

Well, we both know that certain things aren't displayed or are displayed wrong in the game... So that could be one of them. I mean some of the info you'd think there would be isn't there. Maybe submit a /bug to turbine or make a post on the forums seeing if we can get some clarification?
