I'd say a mix of "Crafting Cost Cap" and "Scaling Odds" would be best. Subsequent failures of crafting a single recipe would slightly increase the success of that single instance of the recipe -- a gold cap could also be added at which point one could automatically succeed that instance of the formula.
