    What totally boggles my mind is that I can craft HQ items with NQ materials using quick synth... if i make a big batch of an item I will often get 1 - 2 HQ items. That just tells me that the % of quality when doing normal synths is broken surely it shoudl be 0% chance of HQ?. Too many times I have had 96 - 98% HQ and failed! Failing on that same 1-2 % chance soo many times is impossible! nobody can be that unlucky!

    I don't know what the percentage drop rate is for the Mirror in Levi EX is but if it was even 1-2% surely i woudl have seen it more times than just once in 100+ runs if the same rules applied to how many times a HQ synth can fail on just 1-2%?!

    Starting a craft with all NQ materials puts HQ chance at 1%.

    I do think we remember the failures more often than the successes, and that sticks with our bias. I know for a fact that I've produced HQ many times off of low percentages before, but those don't stick with me as long as a 95/98% NQ that I'll be stewing over for a while, especially if it was an important craft.

    Ya'll gotta learn to control ya'll biases.
