5 Oceanic doesn't guarantee Polishing 3. I tried twice with no luck.

Edit: tried an additional 2 more times with 4 Oceanic, and 1 Fortunate. No luck for rank 3. It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. ~Herman Melville

@Rowley

It doesn't sound "almost guaranteed" either. You just got lucky. I tried over 5 times now and there is no luck in rank 3. It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. ~Herman Melville

It says 2-3 on the perk list which is why I said "almost guaranteed" and not "guaranteed".

How about you now quit replying to my posts with your desperate pursuit to prove you're right about everything? It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. ~Herman Melville

Anyway, back on topic. So far, I tried over 20 times for Polishing 3 using Fortunate components alone (x5), and result was always rank 2.

Anyone got Polishing 3 using Fortunate components mainly? If so, what was the exact combination used, and how many tries it took you? It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. ~Herman Melville

14 gizmos with 4 protective 1 fortunate, nothing.

14 gizmos with 3 protective 2 fortunate, nothing.

Finally 5 protective on attempt 12.

Seems like it's another one of those RNG perks. According to wiki perk weights, protective and fortunate are both the same, so it doesn't matter which one you use. The difference is Protective can give
Hoarding
, but Fortunate can give
Hoarding and Brassican
.

At 1 material, rank 1. 2 or 3 materials, rank 1-2. 4 or 5 materials give rank 1-3.

It's the exact same thing going on with Swift and Protective for Shield Bashing 3. Either one doesn't matter. Whatever you can get cheapest, works best. For me it was Protective because kind people here asked me to buy coifs and d'hide chaps, supplying me with a solid amount of those. Questing Clan of Runescape , T7 Citadel, capping not compulsory. Free cabbage.

4 attempts with 5x oceanic, no polishing 3.
Tried 4 combinations of protective/dext/1x oceanic/fortunate with no polishing 3
Tried ~10 attempts of 5x fortunate, got polishing 3 alone.

No idea how lucky that is.
