Stimulators with maker

Is there confirmation on hands actually lowering the 10% chance that a stimulator will blow an equipment up?

I don't want to have to ask a corsair friend to forge my equinox if both of us have the same chances of it failing.

It's mentioned in the maker book, but you can't really prove it unless you make like a gazillion things with stmulators. So it's really just your decision whether or not you trust what Nexon wrote in the maker book. I would say yes, but my bad experiences make me skeptical. With so many weapons broken with stimulators, both personal and heard from others, and so little armors, I want to theorize that stimulators break only when every stat on the item goes below average, but I can't prove that obviously. Maybe I and the people who've I've heard had their reverse weapons break just had bad luck.

iuno about stims. i used one to forge my pants on my dk, and it was as if they did nothing. the jewels i used and the base stats aside from them, everything was as if i never used one. =/

Well this thread is half useless now. (forged my equinox, 86 att 3 str 3 speed clean)
