»I know it is only a change for the -1 to be made back into the -1, but can the NQ even be revered into a -1 on an HQ synergy synth?
a -1 always converts back to a -1, and an nq always converts back into an nq. you never lose or hq either one.
Think I just figured it out. The crafting level is lower if you craft with a old -1 piece giving you a better chance to HQ the new piece?
yes its lower, and its also cheaper as the only other material is an eschite ore. All synths that use an NQ piece are T0 (1~3% HQ chance) while all synths that use a -1 are T1 (5~7% chance) except for the feet, which are all T2 (25% chance) if a person is level 110 with +12 skill.
This all changes if they have a kupo shield. everything is 25% chance at that point. This even includes the base -1 piece. That results in people like this popping up
