Quality

Quality is a stat that improves the signature stats of an Equipment or adds additional bonuses to Skill Gems. Each item type has a Currency Item associated with it that increases its Quality.

Mechanics

Quality can be applied to most Equipment (Quivers, Jewels, and Belts are the exceptions), Flasks, Charms, and Skill Gems. Any item with at least 1% quality will state "Superior" in front of the base type when dropped on the ground but not when in your inventory.

Quality is a unique multiplier, applying its effect to the related stat after all other modifiers, including Corruption/Sanctification magnitude modifiers. Once Quality is applied, the values are then truncated.

Amount

All Items that can have Quality applied to it have a default limit of 20% Quality. Certain effects allow Quality to be increased beyond this limit. Quality cannot go below 0%.

When applying Quality to an item using Currency, the Equipment's Item Level will determine how much Quality you get. The higher the Item Level, the less Quality each Currency Item will apply.

Obtaining items with over 20% quality

• Normal items of at least item level 78 can rarely drop as an Exceptional base with Quality over 20% (up to 30%). These items will have the "Exceptional" prefix in front of the base type until it is upgraded/identified.
• Corrupting a Flask, Charm, or Skill Gem may cause it to gain or lose up to 10% Quality, and can exceed the 20% limit, up to 23%.
• Breach RingsBreach RingRequires Level 40+20% to Maximum Quality have an implicit modifier that sets its maximum quality to 40%. The Genesis Tree can add a chance for Breach Rings to instead be a Refined Breach RingRefined Breach RingRequires Level 40+25% to Maximum Quality, which has a maximum quality of 45%.
• Infusers can raise an item's quality over 20%, granting up to +10% additional quality total, which can stack with other sources of maximum quality. This process has a chance to corrupt the item, but won't modify it unpredictably.

Skill gems

All Skill Gems have varying Quality effects, providing bonuses to that skill. Skill Gems cannot drop with Quality, due to the fact that Uncut Gems do not have Quality. Support Gems cannot have Quality added to them.

Effects which grant a global increase to Gem Quality apply independently of the default 20% limit. Quality above 20% continue to add to these bonuses.

The Gemling Legionnaire skill Advanced Thaumaturgy adds an additional quality effect to all skill gems.

Ascendancy skills

Skills granted by Ascendancy class passives cannot have Quality added to them using Currency. The only way to add Quality to these skills is with modifiers that grant a Global Quality increase to skills (e.g. LoreweaveLoreweaveOrnate RingmailArmour: 225Energy Shield: 66Movement Speed: -4.0%Requires Level 43, 45 Str, 45 IntAdds (1-4) to (8-12) Physical Damage to Attacks+(200-300) to Accuracy Rating+(20-30) to maximum Mana(6-15)% increased Rarity of Items found+(2-5)% to Quality of all Skills(7-10)% increased Cast SpeedYour Maximum Resistances are (75-80)%<3 random unique ring modifiers>The collector need not even speak. Each ringregaled them with tales of his conquest.), and support gems that add quality to the socketed skill (e.g. Dialla's DesireDialla's DesireSupport, LineageCategory: Dialla's DesireCost & Reservation Multiplier: 90%Requires Level 65Support Requirements: +5 IntSupports any Skill which has levels, increasing the level and Quality, while reducing the cost and Reservation.+5% to Quality of Supported Skills+1 to Level of Supported Skill Gems"I will become your Gemling Queen, my love, but notwith such dull stones. I want to give myself to youfor eternity. Surely we can seek perfection together?"Place into a Skill's Support Gem socket in the Skills Panel to apply its effects to that Skill. You cannot have multiple Support Gems of the same Category socketed within one Skill.).

Skills granted through items

Adding Quality to items that grant an Inherent Skill as an implicit modifier, also adds Quality to the attached Skill.

• Inherent Skills from Amulets do not inherit the Quality of the Amulet.

Equipment

• Martial Weapons gain more base Physical Damage with Quality. Any Non-Physical Damage on the weapon, whether as Added Damage or as a hidden damage conversion modifier, does not get increased.

• Wands, Staves, and Sceptres do not gain any stats from Quality. Their Inherent Skills receive the Quality instead.

• Armour (equipment) gain more base Defence with Quality.

Charms

Charm Quality increases the Local Duration of the Charm, making the effect last for longer. Charms can naturally drop with Quality, although there is no way to manually add Quality to it at the moment. However their Quality can be modified through Corruption, potentially adding/removing Quality.

Amulets and rings

Catalysts are used to add Quality to Amulets and Rings, up to a maximum of 20%. These currency items vary in effects, and using a different type overrides the previous Quality effect.
