Guys,

The only way I can do now is collect as much HQ materials and press synthesis to see the increase starting quality but this is total of what HQ materials you have on hand. Anyway to know the quality numbers of individual material? This way you can find out how many HQ materials you need to craft for 100% HQ.

Thanks.

Yes, grab as many as you can, especially if you are not using the HQ 35Dur*** items in your end product. If your stats are high enough and a specialist you can HQ a 35Dur with having only one item HQ like a korripircal nugget HQ when making "nightsilver" ingot as an example. If you are a none specialist you can HQ a 80 craft but you will need at least 5000 starting quality if using muscle memory.

Oh, I mean if there is a way to see the quality numbers for a material. Say I want to craft recipe#1 to HQ. My current gears & stats can only give me 15000/20000 HQ at the end of the synthesis, so I'm short of 5000 which I need it from HQ mats. If recipe#1 uses 4 mats, it's useful to know the HQ number it gives for each mat so I know which or how many HQ mat should I get to give that 5000 HQ.

Well I'm not sure how the HQ numbers from each HQ mats works when you start synthesis. Is there any theorycraft on how the HQ mat add up to the initial start of the HQ progress?

Example below for Spinel Ring, crafted with 1 Electrum Ingot and 1 Spinel. The initial quality is 637/2551. So is this 1 HQ Electrum Ingot/ 1 NQ Spinel or 1 NQ Electrum Ingot / 1 HQ Spinel or both HQ Electrum Ingot / Spinel?
