item upgrade failure

Whilst upgrading a white piece of medium armour to green using hemming using enough pieces to give 100% chance of success I suffered a failure and lost the piece and the hemming...how can something with 100% chance of success fail? Anyone had a similar thing or am I missing something here (does 100% not actually mean 100%)?

    Are you sure you lost all of the tempers? I once set something to 100% chance of upgrade (5 tempers), and I saw it drop down to 20% chance (1 temper) as I was clicking to do the upgrade. The upgrade failed, but only 1 temper was used up. I've heard a couple of other people report that the same bug occurred for them.

    Sometimes, the number of upgrading items you are using drops just before you confirm the upgrade. Maybe that happened to you and you didn't notice. A really annoying bug.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Yepp, if you're upgrading more than one item, you have to reselect 100% for each item ...

    I cannot say that I noticed-but thank you for your replies, I will keep an eye on it in future.

    "The heming" you only used one , that cannot be 100%. Looks like a visual bug.

    It's a bug, it happened to me too, I had to exit the black smithing window and reenter it to "fix" it. for some reason it resets the temper to 1 unit used and the popup window usually shows the % that it will temper at, i dropped form 100% to 30%.

    It's more interface lag than a bug. Just slow your roll and you won't have any issues.

    I've never failed at 100%, but I did fail 4 out of 5 tries with a 90% success rate one day...i kept thinking "this can't be possible, surely won't happen again" and would try again at 90% and fail....lol
