1% chance of HQ even w/lower quality

[Nakiamiie]

HQing with all HQ mats is too easy. Even on level 50+ syntheses you can get up to 100% with luck, with 80% if you have a bad streak. That's just broken.

It's not broken, it's the way it is supposed to be.
Getting HQ with normal materials = very difficult;
Getting HQ with HQ materials = very easy;
Getting HQ with mixed materials = easy to difficult;

That way, it is more predictable and helps people looking to HQ their synthesis.
HQ materials are rarer too, there won't be an overflow of HQ items on the market because of it.

I'm happy with the way it is, I'm glad they made the change.
