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). 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 the inventory.
Most items which can have quality have a default maximum of 20% quality, and some item classes can achieve up to 23% quality through corruption. Normal items of at least item level ? can drop with quality over 20% (up to 30%), which will state "Exceptional" in front of the base type until it is upgraded. 
Breach RingBreach RingRequires Level 40Maximum Quality is 40%
s can have up to 40% quality. Effects which grant a global increase to gem quality apply independently of this maximum.
Quality is a unique multiplier to the related stat that is applied after all other modifiers, including the corruption magnitude modifier, and rounding. Values are truncated after the quality multiplier is applied.
Charm quality cannot be manually increased, though they can drop with quality and can have their quality modified through corruption.
For items that grant an inherent skill as an implicit modifier, additional quality will also add quality to the attached skill.

Amount
The amount of quality given by a quality-increasing currency item depends on the equipment's item level. The higher the item level, the less quality each currency item will give. Gemcutter's PrismGemcutter's PrismStack Size: 20Improves the quality of a skill gemRight click this item then left click a skill gem to apply it. The maximum quality is 20%.s always add 5% to a skill gem.
Corrupting a flask, charm, or skill gem may cause it to gain or lose up to 10% quality, and can exceed the 20% cap, up to 23%. Support gems cannot have quality added to them.
Version history
As of version 0.2.0g, it is no longer possible to modify quality by corrupting caster weapons (staff, wand, sceptre). Existing corrupted items from before this version with 21%-23% quality from corruption are technically legacy variants, particularly items that cannot be crafted/obtained through an exceptional base post-version 0.3.0, such as

Spirit: 100Requires Level 78Grants Skill: Level (18-20) 
Purity of FireGain (40-60)% of Damage as Extra Fire Damage
Allies in your Presence Gain (20-30)% of Damage as Extra Fire Damage
Allies in your Presence Regenerate (2-3)% of their Maximum Life per second
Enemies in your Presence Resist Elemental Damage based on their Lowest ResistanceFire destroys, but fire also purifies.

Notes
- ↑ As of version 0.2.0, inherent skills found on wands, sceptres, and staves now gain an equivalent amount of quality as the weapon itself. This is correctly reflected in the Skills Panel, but is currently not reflected in the gem's hover tooltip.[Likely due to a bug] Global quality effects apply to Wand/Sceptres/Staves and are reflected in both gem's hover tooltip as well as Skills Panel.
