While you craft, you can get complications.
Complication is a combination of some bad features:
quality penality : you loose quality , best to solve this complication asap
effecivity penality : your skills have a lower effect
action point cost penality : your AP cost will be higher, than on skill description
e.g. action point cost penality: very low => you have to pay 10% more AP (110AP instead of 100AP)
..
I get a complication, which has just one feature quality penality.
I understand it, that you loose "just" quality but you don't have higher AP costs. Few days ago this was correct.
Today I made few orders and got this complication too, but now you have to pay 20% AP costs, but it does not stand
in the complications description.
My Goal of tradeskilling is using 2000AP for a combine and getting Grade A .
If you don't need 2000AP for Grade A *hurray* .
I need every point for progress and good quality.
If I get a lot of complications than I have trouble to finish the combine!
So if you do not finish your third stage of combine and you have no AP -> combine failed -> no XP.
Mhh sounds complex , sorry I can't explain it better .
Maybe someone other can explain it more simple .
