Haha that's my spreadsheet!

Most have a 5% fail once at trivial. Sometimes you can actually get to 5% before you even hit the trivial (happens at higher levels).

People don't seem to realize this - I often see people wanting to pay the cost of black sapphire for a black sapphire piece of jewelry - @ 3k per jewel you have to charge 3,160 to make even over 20 combines. Since you don't typically work in such large bulk, most jewelers need to price the jewelry to cover immediate losses and hopefully provide some profit. If I sell a 3k gem for 3.5k as an earring, but fail one time, i have to sell 6 pieces of jewelry @ that margin just to break even!
