+3 gives ??att ??acc over NQ bow. If anyone has one and knows please post stats!
I have a +2
+3 would give either +19, or +20 attack and +25 accuracy.

Here is how HQ works:
+1 adds 5% extra to each stat with a star next to it. This would be like your attack and acc on your bow.
+2 adds 10% extra
+3 adds 15% extra

The game rounds up when there's a decimal, usually. Example below:

NQ Crab bow:
127 attack

+1 Crab bow:
127 attack x 1.05 = 133.35 attack, rounded up to 134. This is +7 attack

+2 Crab bow:
127 attack x 1.1 = 139.7 attack, rounded up to 140. This is +13 attack.


And to the original poster... You should be happy that you have a R47 bow. As a THM, the highest rank weapon i can get is R44 and it sucks. You either use the R43 brands if you're trying to deal damage cuz the higher potency, or the Ornate Silver Scepter which is R41 if you're wanting Magic Accuracy for landing debuffs (you use this weapon for endgame usually). I wish we had a R47 weapon.

And to answer your question, Obiar, the stats you gain from a high quality item are not shown on the item itself. It will still say the same attack and accuracy on the bow, it will just have 1, 2, or 3 stars next to certain stats. If you equip the bow, however, and then look at your total attack and accuracy stats in the information panel, you will see the stat increase of +5% per star.
