HQ need to show stats from NQ

[Dyne]

I wanna see how much an HQ item, with +1, +2, +3 on it, how much stats it gives you more than the regular NQ item. This will give people more reason to invest more in the HQ item if they can actually see the difference. You can always test it manually after you buy it, but you don't always notice what is added.

Why get a templar's haubergeon when a Vintage Haubergeon is so much better for attacking, and an Iron Cuirass is much better than both for tanking and they are so much cheaper?

Yeah we're going to have to twist the devs' arms to get more clear data on gear and food and more. They probably won't do this sort of thing on their own power since they slip in a "secrets can be fun for some people" argument when they can. They basically trolled people for being lazy and unwilling if they continued reading some of the Ask the Developer sections, so that old habit is going to die hard.

The stars system is a defunct visual format from beta where you could have different numbers of stars in each of the three categories of bonus, with +1's indicating at least 1 star in each one. They need to get rid of it and just put the stats straight onto the description.

As far as I have figured out, the stars represent which statistics are being increased by the '+' of the item (as well as being somewhat of a relic from earlier beta versions).

Each star represents a +5% to the associated stat. Hence 2 stars is +10% and 3 stars is +15%. Note that this does not affect stats "below the line", such as strength on a garnet ring.

Also note that any fractional result is always BUMPED UP to the next integer.

For example, take a ring with 3 defense.
ring+1 : 3*1.05 = 3.15 -> 4 defense
ring+2 : 3*1.10 = 3.30 -> 4 defense
ring+3 : 3*1.15 = 3.45 -> 4 defense

The moral of the story is ... HQ is not terribly useful on jewelry.

Also HQ items really need to be search about in the market wards and have white frames or something similar to how it was in 11 so people can see it's HQ when they check you.

Yeah and super useful on body/leg armor and weapons... Kind of... Off :/
