Does 1% mean 1% now???

[StouterTaru]

So every craft starts out with a 1% HQ rate, and it's always been 0% in reality. I was quick synthing some NQ spruce logs into lumber, and looked at my inventory to see 2 HQ lumber. Did they do something in the last patch?

I was wondering the same thing! I've crafted tens of thousands of items at that "1%" 0 quality and never seen a single HQ I can recall. Yet since 2.5 I have noticed every once in while getting that 1%.

[Sirtimid]

I've seen this now too.

I had this happen very very rarely before the patch but had it happen a few more times since so maybe?

[Shikiseki]

what a coincidence, I was crafting yesterday and had to speed up some crafts --> 1% HQ and I was like o.o;

I wanted to screenshot and put a golden frame on it but it disappeared rather quickly...

[Kuwagami]

dunno what you mean. As far as I've started crafting (right after the triple turn in leves nerf), this 1% was really 1% and I've always gotten HQ with quick synth.

I got an HQ Calibrated Gold Cog at 0 quality...
Just because I wanted them NQ for supra... (I already had master book that requires the HQ ones)
So that costed me an extra 60k gil for the Fieldcraft III Demis....
RNG trolling as always.

Not quick synthesis, this is manual with 0% quality using a macro.

I did over 1,000 1 star mat synths this way the 2-3 weeks before 2.5, and got zero HQ. If it was a real 1%, the odds of that are about 1/23,000.

in 2.4 this is how i got one of my hq concentrated smelling salts... i was going for nq at the time.

I HQ'd 3 of my 3-Star stuff for the Masterbook II, and then after getting those moved onto making 5 NQ for my Supra, 1% shot me in the foot and HQ'd it to give me a useless spare.
