Base Stats for Crafting and HQ

[Mijin]

It's said that using a the correct base stat for your tool increases its quality but that's pretty ambiguous...

Someone mentioned in another post:

stat for crafting quality increase is 0.1% increase per stat. so +100 stat will yield +10% quality

Can anyone confirm / give opinion on if this is true or not?

People I've talked about this with seem to be under the impression that base stats only increase HQ chance... But if it increases quality wouldn't it also increase your EXP gains when leveling? Or is it some kind of freaky hidden quality that only counts for HQ?

Yes, it should be a given that if you increase your quality (however you do so), you will gain more exp because of it.

Attributes for Disciples of the Hand will increase the resulting product's quality.

Thanks, that's what I expected. Any word on if it's really 0.1% increase per stat?

That's what Green says up in your OP quote. I don't care enough to research it, and I've heard a few different explanations, but it's close enough to true for the average crafter.

Mine gives 0.4 to 0.5% at 0 craftsmanship. % will go down as craftsmanship go up.
Your 0.1% will only be accurate at particular combinations of craftsmanship and recipe level.

This was my take on Green's post.
To the average person out there, Green might be right or I might be right, or we're both wrong. I can even say we're both close enough to the real value as well.

SE's statement is correct -> Increases Quality => Increases EXP + HQ Chance
Just that there is no definitive answer for "how much".
