[[Category:Terminology]]
'''High Quality''' is a better form of a [[Normal Quality]] item such as a [[weapon]] or piece of [[armor]]. High Quality [[items]] are occasionally produced through [[crafting]].

For example:
*[[Normal Quality]]: [[Spatha]]
*High Quality: [[Spatha +1]]
In this example, the high quality [[Spatha]] has more [[attack]] power and a reduced [[delay]] compared to the [[Normal Quality|normal quality]] one.

==Identifying High Quality Items==
HQ versions of equipment often have a +1 in their names, for example:
*[[Wax Sword]] / [[Wax Sword +1]]
*[[Beak Necklace]] / [[Beak Necklace +1]]
*[[Red Cape]] / [[Red Cape +1]]
Some, however, have an entirely different name than their [[Normal Quality|normal quality]] counterparts:
*[[Scale Mail]] ([[Normal Quality|NQ]]) / [[Solid Mail]] (HQ)
*[[Eisenbrust]] ([[Normal Quality|NQ]]) / [[Kampfbrust]] (HQ)
*[[Chestnut Wand]] ([[Normal Quality|NQ]]) / [[Solid Wand]] (HQ)
Some [[items]] have multiple levels of HQ, and can be identified by the border around the [[Items|item's]] picture:
*[[Normal Quality|NQ]] has no border.
*HQ1 has a White border.
*HQ2 has a Blue border.
*HQ3 has a Yellow border.
[[Items]] with 4 variants (a possible HQ3) are rare and are usually only seen with [[items]] like [[medicine]]s (for example, [[Hi-Potion +3]]).

It is not always the case that the border around the item indicates a HQ item, recrafted items can gain the white border for a [[Normal Quality|NQ]] [[Synthesis|synth]], and the blue border for an HQ [[:craft|synth]], for example:
*[[Legionnaire's Cap]] ([[Normal Quality|NQ]], no border) / [[Bastokan Cap]] ([[Normal Quality|NQ]], white border)
**HQ of a [[Bastokan Cap]] is a [[Republic Cap]] (HQ, blue border)
*[[Royal Knight's Belt]] ([[Normal Quality|NQ]], no border) / [[Royal Knight's Belt +1]] ([[Normal Quality|NQ]], white border)
**HQ of a [[Royal Knight's Belt +1]] is a [[Royal Knight's Belt +2]] (HQ, blue border)

== Crafting High Quality Items ==
In order to create a HQ [[:Category:Materials|synth]], it is necessary that your effective [[:Crafting_Skill_Ups|craft skill level]] (meaning, base skill including any sorts of bonuses from equipment, [[Synthesis Image Support|Imagery]], and [[Moghancements|Moghancement]]) is at least equal to the [[:Crafting_Skill_Ups#The_Formula|skill cap]] of the [[:Category:Materials|synth]] being performed.

Testing has shown that the rate of high quality [[:Category:Materials|synthesis]] is correlated with your skill in the relevant [[craft]] compared with the [[:Crafting_Skill_Ups#The_Formula|skill cap]] of the item being synthesized, according to the following table:
:{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"
|-
|Level Range
|0 - 10
|11 - 30
|31 - 50
|51 +
|-
|HQ Rate
|1/64
|1/16
|1/4
|1/2
|}

* HQ rate figures are taken from ASB.

[[Desynthesis]] follows different rules with regard to HQ results, mainly in that chances to HQ are much greater regardless of the [[:Crafting_Skill_Ups|crafter's skill level]], but so is the chance for the [[Desynthesis|desynth]] to fail.

Certain [[equipment]] raises your effective craft skill by at least +3 (depending on the [[craft]]), advanced [[Synthesis Image Support|synthesis support]] by another +3, and with the proper [[:Category:Furnishings|furnishings]] it is possible to receive another +5. This results in an effective maximum crafting skill of 106 for most [[crafts]] with [[cooking]] being the outlier, having a maximum of 109.
