Stats And their effects on HQ'ing

One thing thats always confused me is what exactly the stats (str dex mnd int pie vit) actually do for quality in synthesis i know that each craft has a stat mod for quality when used with a particular tool (MH or OH) but what exactly does the stats do do they increase the base quality? increase the chance for larger quality gains on crit success synths? or something i havent though of any awnsers would be appreciated

As far as I can tell, your average quality gains go up by a small amount. The random numbers make it hard to gauge the exact effect.

My hypothesis for possible quality gains (white orb):
E.g.
Before Stat Mod: 16 to 25
After Stat Mod: 16 to 30

ok thats nice to know i recently hit 50 on my BSM and will be replacing my 45ish crafting set with a lvl 50 one and i guess would be a good idea to get some gear with related stats for BSM (str and vit) so i can get the bonus quality for the hq synthing ill be attemepting eventually

one stat is for the main hand and one is for the off hand. so if you never use your secondary tool then you dont need stats for it.

As far as I can tell the bonus is minimal and even then the randomness offsets it functionality.

I duno why everything in this game has to be so damn random, it's starting to become annoying.

every point is 0.1% increase so every 10 stat is 1%
and that is .1 % of what you get not out of 100
so a step giving 20 quality will now give 20.02 which is still 20
you need a lot of stat to see a difference,
but when you get that great success
Byregot's Blessing (+100% Quality 3 steps) +
Magnum Opus (+150% Quality 1 step, needs Prismatic Glow)
and +50 stat or 5% increase on a 200 quality is +10 more.
hope that helps

Here is a nice site on what stats are for.

Interesting proposition. May I know how you came about this data?
Due to the random nature of quality, I have had issues arriving at such a concrete value for the effect of stats.

By crafting nakid and then with as much stat as possible and watching the max success and great success careful.
Its the same with perception and HQ items. Every perception is 0.1% towards HQ. where the +10 HQ find Militia Bracelets
are 1% towards HQ.
Same with the +10 to double down is 1% more not 10% making every +1 point to double down 0.1%

Thanks. I'll add this info in my records.
