Somewhere in the last several patches, something must have changed
with success ratios for tinkering. My skill is currently 118, in my
last 16 lung attempts, I've succeeded only 4 times. These attempts
were done over a period of a month or so. I only recently decided to
try tinkering again, thinking that my prior experience was just a
bad-luck streak.

My 2nd to last batch of lungs cost me 800p per lung. My most recent
batch cost me 1000p per lung.

Has anyone else noticed or experienced this?

Perhaps a change was made to weigh wisdom more heavily in the formula?

I blew 1750p last night, and walked away with ONE lung.

I'm about ready to write off tinkering as a skill only practiced by
the insane. I'd love to make lungs and provide them to my party
members for kedge hunting - but at these prices, it's just insanity.
