Well after todays discussion where a soc mate told me the chances of globalling off basic bearings were "slim to none" i thought id just go out and prove everyone wrong

How many bearings have you manufactured before this global?

HEH you globaled because you are on full condition. Let me say this, if you keep that slider on full condition in the future you are certainly going to lose a LOT. Whoever told you that the chances are slim to none is right. I mean just sit back and think about how often you see a bearings global go by. But to make a long story short, BIG GRATS!!

yeh i know i usually craft with the slider on quantity but it was a 1000 bearing order and i was waaay ahead of schedule so i set asside 50 ticks to go for a HOF and well hey it nearly worked

Right on man thats the way to do it

Since i got my new BP If OA101's werent 10PED/tick id be tempted to crank up the condition on those as well and go for an uber HOF .... guess i still could ... luck will decide

BE careful with that. You don't need full quality for an uber HoF. I have gotten many OA-101 ubers on tity.
