Ok know one seems to be able to answer this question...

Ok... when harvesting... Everyine time you get a new piece harvest a number floats above your head as to how much you have gotten and the Q of it...

But the question i have... is sometiems the number floats above your head is red and sometimes its green... is there a reason for this... i noticed its not because my harvest is going to die or going to blow up... i am just wondering ;)

The only thing that the red numbers seems to mean is that the ql is above 125, nothing else, nothing more. What is the reason for it? You'd have to ask someone more clued up than me!

he number changes from green to red when the number crosses the 125 barrier. (halfway to 250). It is clear, this is when it changes. As to why, it is speculation from a very large group of harvestors that it is the break at 125 to the 'Greater' side of the skill lvl.

Just to expand the numbers over the head question, sometimes when i run i have green +numbers come from me, and sometimes -blue numbers, any idea what they are?

Some also speculate that when you are digging 'red' quality mats that this is when you start effecting the kami tollerance bar, or at least to a much greater extent.





Those other numbers toneh asked about i believe are just bugged numbers relating to nothing.

I seem to remember the red/green change being at 127->128, it only struck me since this is significant when dealing with unsigned bytes and the like. :)
