    Guild Point Gear and HQ Tiers

    I'm going under the assumption that people are using teh 11/31/51 rule about HQs.

    I've noticed something about my HQing and the level I'm at.
    @GS 84+2 I should break 51 on the lvl 14 rings and get an approximate 50% HQ rate on them but I wasn't getting it.

    I compared my HQ rate between Energy Earrings and the lvl 14 rings. I sadly did not record the # of attempts / # of HQs but you can imagine 7 mules selling lvl 14 jewelry during when teh expansion came out. I had trouble keeping up with demand. I tried to control as many variables as I could by alternating between rings and earrings but I consistantly got more HQs on the Energy Earrings.

    When I reached a natural 86, I've been HQing the rings like hotcakes.

    Anyone else have any other similar experiences with HQs?

    Yea, natural 11/31/51 drastically increases HQ rates for me as well. I've done quite a few HQ synths while on HQ tiers through GP items/Adv. Support, and I've been consistently disappointed. Performing the same synths when my base lvl is at the HQ tier gives results that come close to the 10/30/50% rates. Since pretty much everyone says that the tiers can come through GP items and adv. synth, I've been chalking up the discrepancy to moon phases/days and w/e, but I'm fairly skeptical.

    I function primarily on support and natural skill, since I've powerleveled most of my crafts and haven't gotten many GP items. However, I keep a steady 25%ish rate on SH+1 with leather gloves barely tipping me to 64.

    Maybe I am late to the party... but I thought that one needed 65 in leather to break tier on SH synth AND I also thought I remembered hearing that adv. imagery only gives +3 from 90+, otherwise it is only +2.

    Were both of these disproven? (at least to the extent that is possible...)

    I maintain about a 25-30% rate on a Tier 2 synth that I can't get naturally (need support + GP items). Just think you had a good luck/bad luck streak.

    nother stupid question.
    If you are say 100 skill with Support and Guild Items
    Does that mean you can HQ Lv89 Items or is it Lv88 and below since Lv89 is exactly 11 levels.

    I paid 350k for a stack of Carbonara off your damn cooking mule today (assuming it was you anyways, since all the previous sales were on your mule)
