Changes: Quality

Revision as of 15:25, 30 August 2019

An item's quality determines its Durability as well as the number of Mods allowed to be placed on that item.

Prior to A17, in previous game versions, item quality also had an effect on the damage and block damage done by weapons or tools. This is no longer the case. However, since adding mods to an item generally increases its damage and block damage, quality indirectly results in greater effectiveness since more mods can be added onto the item.

Item quality is indicated by both a color-code for quick reference and a numerical value as a precise measure of quality, displayed beneath the item's icon in the Inventory. The measure for quality ranges from 1 - 6:

Color	Quality	Item Level	Number of Mods Allowed
Grey	Faulty	1	0
Orange	Poor	2	1
Yellow	Good	3	2
Green	Fine	4	3
Blue	Great	5	4
Magenta	Flawless	6	5

Madmole has suggested that Alpha 17 will feature legendary quality weapons that can only attained as rare loot with unique stats and buffs.

Intellect improves the quality of crafted items.
The quality of scavenged items depends on the scavenging skill.

-An item's quality determines its effectiveness and how long it will last before breaking. Weapons of higher quality deal more damage and tools of higher quality perform their function quicker, i.e. do higher block damage [No longer seems to be the case in A17. Is this a bug?].
