Some crafted items have a '''quality''' level, which affects their stats and is determined by the crafter's relevant [[skills|skill]].

When an item requiring a quality is finished, the quality is randomly determined using a standard distribution with a standard deviation of 1.25 quality levels and a mean of approximately one quality level per three skill levels. (Note that while every skill level typically increases the mean by one-third of a quality level, the jumps from levels 16 to 17 and 19 to 20 are twice as large as all others.)

If a crafted or built item has Excellent or above quality, a piece of random artwork will be engraved on it. It does not affect beauty beyond quality bonuses. 

=== Probability table (for Beta 18 and earlier) ===

The following table shows the probabilities per skill level for versions Beta 18 and earlier. This table is outdated as of 1.0, particularly due to the removal of some quality levels, and the inability to craft Legendary items without [[mental inspiration]]s.
