Arcane Casting Failure

Am I correct in assuming that the only way to reduce the chance of arcane casting failure is with the augment in the shield, or will crafting Arcane Spell Dexterity on the shield help?.

the augment can be slotted in any blue slot, it'll work.
crafting ASF (iirc only gloves slot possible) would help as well.
to see your spell failure chance, don't look at the item description. instead, hover over any spell with somatic component, that should show your failure chance

on a slightly related note.... skill augments are an enhancement bonus, but a Spell Craft augment gives a competence bonus. Skills crafted onto equipment is an equipment bonus.

So, will a 'Spell Craft' white Augment stack with a Cloaks crafted 'Spell Sight'?  Huh

I'm currently @ 5% failure.. so think I'm good just plopping in an augment.. I really REALLY hate how the "percentage" of spell failure seems to arrive in bunches, and how you can piss away 50 sp trying to cast a spell when you just happen to need it.  Angry

Lesser Arcane Spell Dex can be crafted as a Prefix on Armor, Gloves, Trinket, and Runearm.

Twilight can only be crafted on Armor, and only as a Prefix

As I only have 5% failure, I'll go with an augment and call it a day. There are too many, MUCH harder things to come by that I'll be crafting on.

Come down out of your ivory tower and join the 90%.

LOL.. I would lose my fucking mind trying to cast with that kind of failure. In higher reaper I need scrolls and really REALLY don't want to think about haw many I would piss away with that....

Must offer a better sacrifice to the RNG-Gods.

But yeah, freaking hate that.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Seems reaper lowers my UMD 1 per skull.  Didn't remember seeing that documented though. Really hacks me off when I have 95% marked and still fail on 3 roll.
  

If you can roll it you can smoke it.  If you can carve it you can smoke with it.
