Explain icon please

It means the item is high quality With gear, it means it has better stat than the normal quality one

Thanks for your reply :-) It seems a bit strange that I have to go in and click it for my bow though, so if I leave it alone I'm just working with worse stats?

Also, I'm a level 36 bard (my first ever character) and I've just read a ton of comments stating how bad an idea being a bard is lol! So I was thinking of going healer for a change but I'm a bit concerned that it'll be a more complicated character to play ( I just play for fun, I'm not one of those who analyses everything) I see that you're a White Mage, any thoughts? :-)

If you have to click the icon, your bow is not HQ, it just shows how the stats would be if it was HQ. (I think, I play on console, I don't really click on stuff)

At your level, it doesn't really matter. If you were lv 80, you would want a HQ bow if you went with a crafted bow

Edit: WHM is super easy, you mostly just spam your damage skill and heal when needed. I enjoy BRD, it gets a bit busy at lv 80, but not too bad. It has a few clunky skills, and I miss the stormblood version of it. But it's fun. I'm a very casual player, though.
