I remember seeing the theory about the time you actually smith and make armory affects the result and I think it's plausible.

All my good smithing (2:30 and longer) usually resulted from smithing one after another. IIRC the last one is 03:20 and 02:30

I twice get a double gold light cavalry by making it one right after another, yesterday and today, which means I get a total of 4. The latter get me a silver light cavalry when I tried a third time which is still pretty good I guess.

There might be a small period of time where you can get the same result so if you get a good one try making another one immediately or if you get a bad one, try waiting a few seconds/minutes.

I just smithed a 1:30, wait a few seconds until the minute on the clock change then try smithing again to get a 3:00.
