Quality of materials...

[toosurf]

Hi, I'm a new player and I thought that I had a good grasp of the newbie areas up until now. The maximum quality of any material I'm able to harvest is 20, this was even confirmed by a casual conversation with a Guide. Now, what I'm wondering is... How am I seeing things for sale, from players ( player made ), that are of Quality 30? I even seen a Quality 50 Heavy Armor shoulderpad just now for sale, in on the newbie Island. Is there a skill that I can obtain that ups the value of the Quality of the materials I am harvesting? I made myself some nice weapons and a nice Amplifier for my magic but now am in need of a Quality 30 Amplifier. So I got my Skill upto the third level of making Melee Weapons and that makes no difference in the outcome. The materials I harvest are Quality 20 thus the item made is Quality 20. Someone knows the trick to this, actually several someones as I've seen higher than Quality 20 for sale on all four of the starter Islands now. So please give it up. Hehe... How do I get Quality 30 materials so I can make my Amplifier?

Thanks, in advance.

I haven't played in forever and a day but I'm pretty sure q20 is the max you can harvest on nooby islands besides quest items you can harvest.

at lvl 15 forrage you should be able to buy a skill that lets you dig ql 30 harmfully. at lvl 20 forrage you will be able to buy ql 30 gentle extraction.

press "a" in game, this will bring up your skill tree`s but also a table of what upgrades and actions are available for purchase at different levels

EDIT hmm yeah maybee pheid is right, been a long time for me aswell

The maximum quality of a:
- craftable material source is q20 on refugee island
-Mission items q50 on refugee
-NPC raw materials shop sellss q50 basic materials on refugee

things made of q30 or higher on refugee iland are made by the basic NPC mats that are sold on refugee.

Mob (Mobiles) the creatures, drop higher than ql20 (kipees if I remember correctly).

However you can buy ql50 (basic) mats from the Raw material merchant.

After lvl 20 (in any skill) on Starter Isle you are pushing the limits of whats available there. At around lvl20 you are in a good position to be successful on the mainland, provided you learned you leasons well.

After lvl 30 on Starter Isle you are pushing it a bit as the XP falls off.

Hope that helps.

There MIGHT be well hidden q50 sources somewhere on starter island. It would not surprise me at all, but don't count on it. Ryzom is full of such surprises but they are well hidden.

Move to mainland

LOL! Geesh... Okay, thanks. I dig for my materials so I never even thought to look at the Materials Merchant. That's just too easy. Cheers!

kipee's drop q21 on the zorai island, not sure about others..

thing to remeber is that the basic mats are really, really, really terrible compared to fine or choice. So you would probably find a player crafted choice q20 item would have better stat's than an npc q50 basic item.. if memory serves a lot of basic mats have a couple of 0 stat's. yuk

I seem to remember q22 ragus on some islands too

Quality 20 choice heavy armor = max 60 boost (hp, stam, etc.)
Quality 50 basic heavy armor = 150 boost (hp, stam, etc.)

10 Jewels qlt 20 = 100 boost
10 Jewels qlt 50 = 250 boost

Figure the rest out.

PS: Puny Ragus are the biggest aggro mob, and they are level 19
