[dev1237] Revamping High-Quality Items - Discussion

[Magnesium02]

New thread cause the other one isn't actually discussing it

Yay, finally info on the HQ crafting system

I love that we will see visually the % change of HQing an item. That will make it much easier. Though I am still wondering about the success rate. Previously they said that HQ + HQ = HQ but it looks like even if you use all HQ items you may not get HQ.

I find the touch up thing interesting. Only one touch up allowed with reduced success and chance of total bust. Time to start gambling XD

and

Furthermore, equipping HQ gear will now boost bonus parameters in addition to base parameters.

0_0. Looks like all those people that have multiple melds on NQ will have to start over as they can now get bonus on the other stats on HQ

I do have 2 questions about that though
1) does the bonus affect materia? Cause if you have a +6 str item and meld str on it, the bonus and materia stats are combined. Or would only the base 6 be increased
2) and to what percentage are the bonuses calculated - and rounded up or down?
