TECHNICAL SUPPORT / WEB APPs BUGS

in a world where so many things are against you, when advantages do exist, i say use them

this one is not so game breaking a bug that we can't consider it a feature, just my opinion

This thread is a bit older, but I hope I still get a response.

I understand how this works. It's rather odd and could be considered a bug, or not, depending on your angle.

I can also explain how those unexpected recipes come together (something about averages)

But people in this thread have also been hinting at something curious: that it's possible to get more than the full boost on items (eg more than 125 boost on a 250 item) without using OP stuff.

Did i get that right, and if so, how? I have no idea how that could work.

Wearing items with malus (medium or heavy armor) will degrade the final quality according to a formula shown here : http://en.ryzomnomnom.com/wiki/Malus

(not copied directly to forum in order to avoid spoilers, etc).

It is possible to obtain a q225 item by wearing 100 malus (5 pieces of HA) and using an action for q250. Said q225 item will retain the +125 boost corresponding to the original q250 stanza.

It is *not* possible to get more than +125 on an item without outpost tools though, because there is no crafting action higher that q250 to degrade from.

It's nice how you claim to avoid spoilers, then spill the secret...

lol. This was considered a secret?

xD

Thanks for the formula Mj :)
I could not figure out how much the quality will be degraded with malus, so used my gereric mats to craft and make a note everytime :D
