When an item requiring a quality is finished, the quality is randomly determined using a standard distribution. However, crafters can only craft Legendary items with [[mental inspiration]]s; if they are in fact inspired, the resultant quality is increased by two quality levels (except if masterwork is rolled, in which case it is raised by only a single level to legendary, since there is no quality level above legendary). This means that an inspired crafter cannot roll an awful or poor item, and are almost certain (97%) to roll at least an excellent item if they are skilled (10+).

Quality is a stat: An item's quality is how well-made it is.

Many crafted items and some structures have a stat called quality. This stat influences various attributes of the item, according to the table below.

How quality is determined

When an item requiring a quality is crafted or built, that is, when crafting finishes, the quality is randomly determined using a standard distribution. Expected values by skill level of the crafter are given in the table below.

  • The column "Avg. Result" shows the mean quality for each skill level, where awful = 0, poor = 1, normal = 2, etc. The mean quality becomes "normal" at skill level 6, however already at skill level 4 the character will have a 50% chance to craft something that is at least of "normal" quality (median quality).
  • The "Avg. Value" column gives the average market value multiplier for that skill level. At skill level 6 you can expect a character to stop wasting material value from crafting.

Inspired creativity and Legendary items

Legendary items can only be made if the crafter currently has the mental inspiration Inspired Creativity. Then the next item, structure or piece of art with a quality level will automatically be two levels higher – thus, if "excellent" or "masterwork" is rolled, a legendary item is produced instead. Even the most capable crafters have only a 60% chance to produce a legendary item per inspiration.

Inspired creativity makes it impossible to craft an item of poor or awful quality; at least normal will be rolled, even at 0 skill level.

Since the inspiration takes effect only when the item is finished, it is useful to raise the skill level of the inspired person as high as possible before actually producing an item; for example you can train crafting on items without a quality level before making the "inspired" item. It is also possible to keep an unfinished item in stock, and wait for an inspiration to occur before actually finishing it; this will still reap the full effect, without requiring you to dedicate work during the 8-day time window of the inspiration.

If a crafted or built item is at least excellent, a piece of random artwork will be engraved on it. This only adds flavour and has no further effect.
