How does the DAI Masterwork RNG works

Does anybody knows how the Masterwork RNG in DAI works?

Out of 10 tries with reloading, still no luck and the chance is 30%.

DA:I stores the random seed it uses for determining if an item is a masterwork, so saving and reloading will not work.

However, a side effect of this storing is that it makes the occurrence of successes deterministic. So if, for example, if you have 5 great bear claws and you use them in crafting and you see that there is a critical success on the third and fifth bear claw, this will still be true if you load a save file you made before the crafting. This indformation can be used to your advantage:

  • Save
  • As an experiment use up your crafting material by crafting random items. Note which attempts were successful
  • Load
  • Craft a junk item when your experiment showed a failure and an item that you want to use when your experiment showed a success.

This way you don't waste your other good crafting materials on a masterwork failure.

Also note that each critical crafting material type has its own random seed. You have to experiment with them independently.
