The Fashion Report

[Ursa_Vonfiebryd]

Did some experimenting with a friend on this. Obviously, system is looking for certain identifiers and I think I can explain some of them after the two of us got our heads together.

We noticed that items that were HQ and dyed with PREMIUM DYE would score higher than the same items NQ and in vendor dye or not dyed at all--with the exception of the items that are rewards and/or not craftable.

This makes sense considering Masked Rose is really Redolent Rose of the Weaver's Guild. Obviously hand-made items of high quality would be of higher value at least from a lore standpoint. So if you can get it HQ I'd do it, though further testing is needed.

And dye really does matter. But I don't think the color does. Just the rarity. Also, actually read his responses because sometimes they offer further clues into what he is actually looking for. (Like the remark about Doman Martial stuff).

So:

Have all slots filled.
HQ SHOULD improve its rating.
Premium Dye (or any dye) WILL improve its rating (Premium Dye is best though).
Read his comments for clues.

Next Fashion Report will have an A+!
