Can someone help me understand HQ crafting?

The whole system is so random that the only thing quality effectively does is tell you what you won't be getting.
You won't be getting an aeolian +3 unless you have a HQ blunt sword or buffalo grip or the level cap is raised. What you WILL be getting...who knows.

Yes, so random that the effects of stacking quality are easily researched and proved, not to mention the difference is substantial.

But no worries- even for being so hilariously wrong this is still your best Post of the Month. Congrats.

Is this chart taking into account finished items with touch ups, or just parts, or everything together? Or is there a translated version. Better yet would be a chart that separated the +3's from 200-500 quality. +1-2's are so easy to get the only thing that matters is to see if it effects the +3 rate in any noticeable way.

The increase from 300-500 quality is so negligible it still seems the theory of stopping near 290-300 and saving the rest for durability touch ups and/or finishing the part is the best way to go.

I hope you are aware how miniscule of a test base that is without any details of how the results were achieved and what HQ was even reached. What was said is still solid that you won't be getting a Aeolian +3 without HQ materials.

Obviously the blog the pic is from contains a lot more information than that.. but I don't want to be getting on the way of "I eyeballed my synths today and saw NO DIFFARENCE OMFGBBQ"-posts too much.

Ba-ding.

Next time someone gets the urge to correct me, gonna have to come at me with more than "I don't like you" as your premise just because I knocked you down in another topic. That's that. This is this. I don't even remember why you don't like me. And I really don't care.
