Upcoming changes to HQ specifications

[Onizuka]

Tiger Girl, if possible could you give me a confirmation if what you mean with this:

the rate in which finished goods result in HQ

...is what Yoshida-san talked about last August after that looong analysis of mine (in this Topic here there're all the links) where I ultimately requested to have a system that rewards for your hard efforts in gathering HQ materials, ensuring the HQ result?

We are planning on implementing the HQ revamp in patch 1.20.
Until Patch 1.20 is released, the current specs for HQ items will be used. Also, in the new specs, HQ items will only be created if every ingredient used is HQ. We want to make sure that you will not experience a sense of futility when your synthesized item turns into NQ at the last moment.

Is the “Work hard to get HQ materials and you will get a guaranteed HQ result” still confirmed?
That was the feature I was awaiting for the most in patch 1.20, but since it was postponed I'm really looking forward to it in 1.21. Also, it'll lessen a lot my inventory space, with all the old +3 materials I've saved up.

Thanks if you can confirm it.

That's something I'd like to know as well.

I've been hoarding HQ materials for months now, waiting for the day I can finally use them to insta-HQ anything. If that's not going to happen, I should probably start getting rid of all my +1/+3 fish. I'm not sure if it's still "high quality" anyway, after my retainers have been carrying it around for months...
