Sometimes depending on the day, you will get an HQ effect and just come out with a NQ

Actually that has nothing to do with the day. It's just that some gems have an HQ1 which is the same as an NQ. Example are white and black rocks:
White Rock
NQ: Light Opal
HQ1: Light Opal
HQ2: Moonstone
HQ3: Angelstone
Black Rock
NQ: Onyx
HQ1: Onyx
HQ2: Painite
HQ3: Deathstone
My testing shows the % breakdown is something like:
NQ: 50%
HQ1: 30%
HQ2: 10%
HQ3: 5%
Break: 5%
This testing is only over about 500 synths, so obviously I need more data which I'm slowly gathering over time. That being said, I'd -love- to see a similar test done for the 31-50 tier (Darksteel Chains, anyone?)
