Crafting...... Jesus $%#@ing Christ!

4) HQ items..... enough said. But I should be able to craft HQ items when I am 25 levels above the item crafted..

Not sure if it's been touched on or not, but attempting anything above 300+ quality is a waste of time. You have the same chance to get a +3 with 240 quality (lowest I've ever +3'ed off of) as you do 600. Save your durability once you break the quality tier for touch ups and you'll see alot better results. I tend to stop around the 270-290 range and finish the synth. I've +3'ed many, many items this way.

Making HQ parts sometimes makes me want to gouge my eyes out, but if HQing were easy it would devalue everything.

The system is still very random, but there are things you can do to up your chances. Getting +1's and +2's are fairly easy with enough attempts. And that's the whole point. If getting +3 HQ's were easy the market would be flooded with them. There has to be some limits.
