HQ rates

[Enis]

Just tried to make some HQ mats for a HQ Raptorskin Survival Belt today and used all my +2 and +3 raw mats. The results was 2 HQ on an entire stack of skins, zero HQs on a stack of silver ores HQs and 2 HQ on felts. (All over 500 Quality)

This was done on full gears and full support with the crafting level at 50.

Went and brought up all I can at the wards that was HQ mats for the belt.

Made 19 all with HQ materials with over 400 Quality, every single one was NQ.

I know your promise of guarenteed HQ on 1.20 was all BS and I was stupid enough to be saving mats for it which turned out to be a lie and all.

But HQ rates this bad is pretty insane, it is even worst then prepatch.
If guarenteed HQs are not gonna be implemented as promised, then at least fix the rates to a more logical one.

Everything in this game is about Random Number Generator and timesinks already, the crafting system does not need this.

The 100% HQ rate when using HQ mats was for when making Finished Items. Not Mats. HQ Mats will still be made based on Quality value and luck.

That being said, even the 100% HQ when using all HQ mats hasn't been added yet.

Sorry that you ended up wasting so many mats, but I would make sure I understand the changes and make sure they've been implemented before I go all in.

What form of Craftsmanship gear set did you wear? Magic or normal Craftsmanship?

also have you bothered melding materia to your gear/tools yet for HQ crafting purposes?

I think the OP's point is, the HQ rate is rather dismal. I've had similar bad luck, on recipes for which I'm well beyond 30~40 levels. That said, I seem to notice more HQ results as I approach the recipe's level... Beginner's luck? Either way, it would be nice if quality counted for more than just bonus exp...

"All 500 quality" implies nothing to complain about how he crafted.

I was using a Magic Craftsmanship set for it.
The tools were melded with Mag. Craft bonus as well.
Tried some more today, still pretty bad.

Just hope SE can put some thought into the HQ system in the future.

Not ingame yet
It's not in the 1.20 and 1.20a patch-note

I sat down and synthed through 3 stacks of Walnut Logs to make lumber to turn in for provision quest. 0 HQs. (I was doing one log at a time not 3.) Every piece of gear that can accept some kind of useful materia is double socketed. Support used. Avg quality was 300+ with NQ logs, 600+ with HQ logs. I am sorry but before the patch I would have gotten at least 1 HQ, and that's with Hasty Handing though 3 stacks. Come on SE, stop trolling us.

[Enis]

I completely agree with State Alchemist, this is exactly what I am talking about here with the insane HQ rate.

PS. Great guides State Alchemist^^, it helped me a lot back then.

I can't hq anything these days, no matter the quality of the mats. I've had more hqs hasty handing synths than using careful synthesis in the past month.
