| If you bother to read up on the guilding threads in 2ch, you will be able to find alot of threads on ppl obtaining hq items and their statistics. i have read alot of theories on how to obtain HQ items and the most recent which i had read quotes tat
"The chances of HQ increases by 2~5% with each lvl tat you exceed the required level to make the item"
How true is tat i do not know myself. I have crafted HQ items while trying to lvl skill, I have also not gotten a single HQ out of numerous tries even though my lvl has passed the crafting lvl. But to a certain extend, the lvl of the skill IMHO is a very impt factor to the determination of HQ items. Not every thread quoted tat statment above as the guide for getting HQ items, but there are definetly a substantial number of threads which highlight the chances of obtaining HQ improving with skill lvl. A few threads noted the percentage of getting hq to be 50% once your lvl is 40~50 lvl above the required lvl..
So wat about eriwide's site on obtaiing hq item. For those who are uncleared abt wat tat site said about HQ items, it states tat the best time (as in the time with the highest percentage) to obtain hq item is when you do craft on the day tat is previous to the element of the crystals used (eg crafting of earth crystals to be done on fire day since fire day comes before earth day) AND on the previous or next moon shape jsut after the new moon. (which is the 29th or 3rd moon day)
Once again i had tried it myself several times and the results are not wat i had expected -_-; (the site quoted a high percentage of almost 25%).
Is eriwilde's site reliable? Seriously i am not sure about it. If i were given a choice, i would bet all my gils on higher skill lvls been able to give higher chances of HQ items. As impt as higher skill lvl is needed for HQ items, i also believe tat the moon cycle does play a role in determining HQ since alot of ppl have been telling me abt getting HQ items during full moon or new moon, (surprisingly, not on the 3rd moon or 29th moon).
Guilding requires lots of investment in terms of gils and time. If you are looking to make lots of gils at low lvl from making HQ items, i seriously don't thnk you should. In fact, concentrate more on getting your skill lvls to as high as possible. During the process of lvling, should you make HQ items, then congratulations, if not, nevermind too. Once you have passed a certain lvl whereby you can make profits from guilding, start to balance yourself between lvling skill and making gils. And when you think you are really high enuff, pick a suitable date and start crafting and pray you will get tons of HQ items.. |
