Can someone help me understand HQ crafting?

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.

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.
