Quality

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 have a Superior prefix when dropped on the ground but not when in the inventory.

For Unique items which grant a skill as an implicit, additional quality will also add quality to the attached skill.

Most items which can have quality can have a maximum of 20% quality. Breach RingBreach RingRequires Level 40Maximum Quality is 40%s can have up to 50% quality. Effects which grant a global increase to gem quality can also exceed this cap.

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.

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.

Corrupting a flask, charm, caster weapon (staff, wand, sceptre), 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.
