Item Quality?

[Folly]

Which items are affected by Quality, and what is the affect?

Will weapons do more damage? Armor protect better? Recovery items heal more?

For equipment, your overall stats increase with higher total equipment quality. Weapon doing more damage and armor giving more defense depends on how you synthesize your equipment. Like if you spam a lot of ATK+ synthesis materials, your weapon will have much higher ATK than if you use a bunch of useless fodders.

For combat items, I guess their effectiveness?

I haven't confirmed it in this game, but in previous titles I've played, your equipment tends to have better stats with higher quality. I'm not sure if it's a spectrum or just breakpoints that need to be reached related to the letter rating of the product. IE 90% quality to 100% quality could be A tier, but have the same stat bonuses - or that 100% might actually get 10% more bonus over that 90%- I'm not sure.

The higher your component quality, the higher the quality of the finished product is going to be. As for intermediate components, like neutralizers, I think I noticed the higher quality ones will have a bigger resonance area even though it doesn't indicate a bigger resonance area in the effects in the bottom right of the screen at a certain threshold. I could be wrong about it not being indicated, but I remember squeezing out some more stats on gear because of bigger resonance with neutralizers that only had like 7 more quality over the other ones I had of the same colour.

TLDR: You should be trying to increase quality if you can.

Just made my first highquality damage item (meteor) i got it to rank 6 before i started upgrading it .. i just unlocked the second area, my 788 quality meteors kills the all enemies in 2 hits, i made 4 of em for the time and price of 1. Quality is just as important as before 😁

Yeah, there's a stat on the char sheet underneath attack, defense, etc, "item quality" or something like that. Increasing that gives boosts to all the stats when you finally equip it.
