I have a weird issue with quality cap while forging, my forge is at 15300 max durability, not sure what q it is but should be mid to high, using 60q+ ingredients and tools to build it, skill at 80 and hammer (had to use steel ingot to get it) at 56, but I can only forge stuff around 30q, even when using 50+ quality iron ingots. I made 33q hammers from 65q iron for example, using steel ingot about 60q I reached the 56q hammer. Using 62q branches for both. PS just made crucible and tongs in Forge and in Furnace, 55q iron igots, Forge one is 35q, Furnace made is 62q, so something is definitely amiss. Any idea what's wrong here?
Hello Denethor, So yeah when you are forging stuff with iron you are basically making stuff at a max level of 60Q, since that's the highest limit you can make, if the quality of the materials, or the tools, or the buildings is lower than that you will be basically not crafting at that Q. It's not that you are capping it, it's all those factors together. Steel should be pretty much just used in forging, like vostakus, cause those have the 80 and 100Q caps while forging. But if you smelt stuff from iron you can break the caps, like we said in the video, you can make 100Q crucible if everything is 100 from smelting iron. Anything that is made of only metal (except armor parts) can be done thus.
