HQ and NQ stat gap needs to close (Both should allow max stats with materia):

[Silverbane]

Right now NQ is nothing more than a pure glamor item.

I think that's an overstatement. NQ i170 can be melded higher than HQ i150, after all.
Hopefully we'll be able to convert i170 to tier 5 materia, but that's only wishful thinking right now.
