Has anyone had any problems making gweths recently? I just made a few the other day (both k and j) and now can't even scribe the first sigil. I have no active predictions, aura sight, clear vision and piercing gaze up. I tried from the constellations and from my sigil book and it is nighttime.

Haven't, no, but have you tried using a different burin? Long shot, that or your not scribing the sigil on a properly prepared item(I have no idea which step you are failing at)

Nope, haven't tried using a different burin, I'll try that but I'm pretty sure it's the same burin I used before and I checked to make sure it still has "charges".

I'm failing at the very beginning, just scribing the Raven on the first stone. I've tried multiple area's and have no problem memorizing the Raven from constellation or sigilbook.

Forgot to mention my lowest relevant skill for enchanting is mech which is just shy of 400 everything else is approaching 500 if not past that. Maybe my skills are too low? I tried with licking the bowl for a mech boost also.

Mech has nothing to do with scribing sigils. The only time mech has any effect on enchanting is setting the gem on a burin, affixing the stones to the gweth chains (which sets the charges as far as I can tell) and dipping the stones in oil. Mech having anything to do with scribing sigils is an urban legend that I wish would die a horrible death. Which I guess will finally happen when mech splits. Yay!

It sounds like the stone you're scribing may already be magical/scribed so it's not taking the first step or your burin isn't completed. Post the messaging you're getting and someone can probably figure it out easier.

I get the same "fails to adhere" with several different burins and whether I use my sigilbook or studying it in the sky at night. I crafted a few gweths a couple days ago easy, with around 50 charges each, both j and k. Those were crafted with my sigilbook during the day because I remember having to use my sigilbook.

Do me a favor, Look at the stone and tell me what you see.

Wow, I feel like an idiot. Thank you for all the help. I have no idea how all of my k stones became inscribed, but that was exactly the case.

Thank you again!
