Materia and pre patch items

[syntaxlies]

Ahahaha say that to the OP. Crab Bow +3 will probably still be relevant and powerful for a while. I don't expect the first wave of superior gear to come out seconds after the patch goes live. And if anything it'll be a relic later on so keep those suckers and don't toss them yet!

was it confirmed that HQ items would be equal to +3 prepatch.

no, but chances are there will be no conversion

[syntaxlies]

no, but chances are there will be no conversion

well +2 and +3 will both be HQ so i was thinking they would give them all +1 stats since you can OP your gear with materia.

wrong
this is speculation by players, not stated anywhere by anyone other then players


at this point its more liekly +1-3 will stay +1-3 and new items will only follow the new rules

Actually...

そのような現在も存在している素材の+3はHQ素材として扱われるのか、それともNQになるのか。ここら辺が気になります。
以前モンスタードロップの品質が+3かNQかの2つになったのと同じように、+3と+2がHQ、+1はNQに統合されるイメージでしょうか？
With current materials that already exists would the +3 be considered HQ or will it be NQ? Wondering about this part. Like before the monster dropped materials being NQ or +3 will this be applied to current +3, +2 becoming HQ and +1 being NQ?

はい、基本は予想頂いてる通り、できるだけ統合という方針ですが、どのラインで（+3と+2をHQ、それ以外をNQなど）統合するかは、
アイテム流通量をログから調査して判断しようと考えてます^^
Yes, that basics are just like you imagined, the goal is to combine as much as possible but at which line (+3 and +2 being HQ others being NQ) will have to be decided by adjusted by looking at the item circulation rate from logs.

+1 > NQ
+3 > HQ
+2 to be determined based on circulation.
