I think high ql items now have more hit points than medium, and medium more than standard. This makes sence as u get the same wep, it just lasts longer.

I was wondering why a med ql amp now takes 15 amber.
Guess I should pay more attention to the patch notes
I agree though, it does make for more diversity, especially with items that require reasonably large amounts of a single mat type (2h swords, amps etc) as there is more scope for mix and match to get exactly what you want.

I still think that if you are using 50% more amber on the medium plans, the stats should be adjusted accordingly.
got more amber, should have higher stats.......
hmmm

I disagree, more mats should mean it lasts proportionally longer

More mats mean a better mix, which in turn gives a better overall balance on all the items stats.
I believe the fixed maxiums for some properties have been upped for things like HPs on MQL and HQL.
With regard to amps 15 mats allow a great chance for the crafter to get all the bonuses balanced.
And of course there is the XP benefit for fast lvling from lvl 50 to 150 and then from 150+

Yeah. would be too much to ask for a boost in stats anyway.
All in all, the changes are good.

Good point. Did not think this through. I'm looking forward to getting home and messing with some different amber types to see what i get.
