For those of you that have HQ'd multiple times:

1.) Have you ever HQ'd off the hexed synth(not the -1)

and

2.)Do you have the Adoulin mission synthesis ring?

1) Yes
2) I had it before, but I got rid of it because the difference was too small.


The mechanics of crafting are well understood though, so I think more pertinent information would be to explain the HQ tiers.

First, determine your lowest skill gap. If a synth only uses one craft, that will be your level in that craft - the skill cap. If it has subcrafts, use the lowest of the gaps for main craft or any sub.

If the gap is 0-10, you have a 1/64 chance of HQ.
If the gap is 11-30, you have a 1/16 chance of HQ.
If the gap is 31-50, you have a 1/4 chance of HQ.
If the gap is 51 or higher, you have a 1/2 chance to HQ.

The rings are applied as a multiplier, not to your base rate. So, for the NQ hexed synths, you're looking at (1 / 64) * 1.02 = .0159375, or 1/62.7 on average.

As a side note, the reason a lot of the items are seemingly flooded is the kupo shield. Any recipe that it allows you to jump from the 1/64 tier to the 1/16 tier, or the 1/16 tier to the 1/4 tier will obviously be greatly impacted.

And that's possible to obtain thru Bonanza, correct?

Only through bonanza, though SE has spoken of adding another comparable item through gameplay(they said comparable to a relic, I believe).
