Item Quality

Item quality changes the statistics on weapons, armor and accessories. Items crafted through NPCs will always be 2 star quality. Items crafted through expertise can have 1 star quality, 2 star quality, 3 star quality or 4 star quality. Certain items can be rarely dropped by certain bosses with a 3, 4, or 5 star quality. For instance, Stribog can drop 3 star Sweetie Bear pieces, Glas Ghaibhleann can drop 4 star Raider's pieces, and Hero sewer bosses can drop 5 star Ingkara, Chiulin, or Frostheart Hunter pieces. Higher leveled equipment has more noticeable statistic bonuses for being of a higher star quality because the increases are percentage-based on base stats of the item. Quality on existing items can be increased using a Lubber's Sketchy Quality Coupon or a Quality Booster Coupon.
