Square Enix's RNG

[IronSoup]

The RNG for crafting is the same than the RNG to loot. If you wanna test it, it's pretty simple.

Example:
A Titan weapon chest.
5 people looting on the item.
The looting numbers were: 6-45-72-94-98.
The 98 got the item.

If you want to apply the RNG loot numbers to crafting, you can. Picture the looting numbers as "minimum %quality required for HQ". It is that simple. With the above example, even if you'd get 92% chance of HQ on your 5 crafts, 2 out of the 5 would have given a NQ because you were unlucky with the RNG system.

This is how the system works.

BUT there is a way to "exploit" (counter) the RNG system for crafting... just achieve 100% HQ.
