Any word on what is going to happen to our +1, +2 and +3 gear yet?

[Req]

Has any dev shed any light on this, or can any dev shed some light on this? I think it would be nice for us to know before hand so we can brace ourselves if all of our hq gear gets turned into nq after the patch.

Yeah didn't they tell us earlier that +1 will become NQ and +2 and +3 will be HQ?

[Req]

I am really not sure. I have looked through quite a few posts trying to get some info on this and I haven't found anything. As far as I know that was the general consensus but nothing had been confirmed by any Devs yet. I could be completely wrong though, and it may have been posted somewhere.

I think Reinhart did a dev translation a little while ago. But those are loose translations so it's still open to interpretation.

I would like to know this as well, I will hate my Banneret Lance+2 to basicly become a +1, or maybe they could keep +2 gear, and you can talk to an NPC to get some really good materia to be infused to it, for a limited time then they could make any +2 gear left into HQ in 1.20, which would give anyone playing plenty of time to get the materia on them.

Just a wild suggestion.

I think the transition to "HQ" will provide the stats of +2 or +3 items anyways, not +1. Also, they could change the way HQ stats work entirely.

Why pay 3 mil for a hauby +2 if a +1 will have the same stats in a few weeks? There is a large price gap in r50 gear between +1 and +2, if that gap is going to be removed there will be a lot of pissed off people who spent a lot of money.

I think i read it is going to be a while before the NQ HQ change happens, as in post 1.20. Looking for yoshi-p post.

I think you may need to scroll up to a previous post I made.

From what I understand... Anything NQ or +1 will become just "NQ" and anything +2 or +3 will become "HQ" and bear similar stats to a +2/+3 item, not a +1 item.

Iこんにちは。
Hello,

採集で取得できるアイテムについては、パッチ1.19のタイミングで通常品質と高品質+3の2種類に変更され、高品質+1、高品質+2がでないようになります。
Regarding items you can gather; at the timing of patch 1.19 gathering items will be changed to normal quality and high quality +3 and +1 and +2 items will be removed.

これは、かばん圧迫への問題への対応と、先日吉田Pがコメントしている、「パッチ1.20以降予定のHQ製作改修」の一貫として 行われるものです。
This is part of what YoshiP commented to condense inventory space in this post: (link above) which will be done continuing for the HQ crafting changes planned for 1.20 patch or later.

また本スレッドのコメントの中にあった「+3だけが残った場合の高品質アイテム」の名称については現在検討中です。
We are also looking into what was commented in this thread regarding "If +3 will remain to rename it to HQ item name"

今後も引き続きフィードバックをお待ちしています。
We will be waiting for your continuing feedbacks.

I think the change is only going to be affecting materials...
