Changes: Quality

Revision as of 20:52, 8 August 2020

Content of this page validated for Alpha 19 b177.

Description[ | ]

Quality is a value which represents the crafted level of a tool, weapon, or armor. Do not confuse this with Tool & Weapon Tiers, which separate items generally by the materials used in their construction. Different item icon = different Tier. Different color = different Quality. Quality values are applied within Tiers, and it is possible for a high-quality weapon or tool to have better stats (especially when Mods are considered) than a higher-tier item.

Summary Chart[ | ]

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. Note that with the exception of Tier-0 (generally stone/primitive) items, Quality levels do not provide fixed improvements to the item's stats. That is, two different Q5 Iron Fireaxes might have slightly different base stat values, meaning you should compare items you find with what you have even if the Quality level is identical.

Effects of Quality[ | ]

An item's quality determines the following item stats.

Max Durability of Weapons, Tools, and Armors
Number of Mods allowed to be placed on Weapons, Tools, and Armors
Melee Damage, Power Attack Damage, Block Damage, Stamina Cost, and Attacks/Minute for Tools and Melee Weapons
Ranged Damage, Magazine Size, Rounds/Minute, and Effective Range for ranged Weapons
Armor Rating and Explosion Resistance for Armor

Notes[ | ]

It is not guaranteed that a higher-quality item will have better stats than a lower-quality item; you will need to compare items before deciding whether to swap
It is usually worth it to take a Q3, Q5, or Q6 item over a lower-quality item due to the additional mod slot(s), if you have mods available to apply to the item. For Weapons and Tools, every mod will add bonus damage which can make up for possibly lower base stats.
The quality of looted items depends on the gamestage of the player, possibly modified by perks or Lucky Goggles.
Players can only craft up to Quality 5 items. Quality 6 items can only be attained by looting or buying them. (As of Alpha 19)

+==Description==
-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.
