I. Quality
y = Sqrt(x/10) where x = quality and y = improvment factor is the common formula to calculate the improvement obtained by higher quality ( where Q10 is base quality):



This affects damage of swords, armor class, FEP as well as bonus points through items e.g. jewelry rings.
The improvment stages are (taken from graph above):

Q40 ---- 2.00x base value
Q90 ---- 3.00x base value
Q160 -- 4.00x base value
Q250 -- 5.00x base value
...

II. Weapons and armor
taken from my post on wiki http://havenandhearth.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons http://havenandhearth.wikia.com/wiki/Armor

Meele weapons:

Stone Axe: -needs update-
Militia Sword: -needs update-
Bronze Sword: -needs update-

Battleaxe of the Twelfth Bay: -needs update-

Damage with Swords: Base Damage + 1/3 str
Damage with Axes: Base Damage + 1/2 str

Ranged Weapons
Ranger's Bow: 300 damage, IEMM 3.
Woodbow: 75 damage, IEMM 2.
Sling: 60 damage, IEMM 2.

Ammunition
Bone Arrow: 20 damage, IEMM 2.
Stone Arrow: 10 damage, IEMM 2.
Stones: 0 damage, no IEMM (i.e. their quality do not matter).

Damage with Ranged weapaons: Damage = (0.5 * (PERC / AGIL) * MAX-DAMAGE)

III. Skill values limiting quality
Following skills values affect items listed below:

Sewing limits: quality affected by dexterity
- quality of leather items
- quality of cloth products

Smithing limits: quality affected by strength and some times psyche
- quality of metal working recipes

Carpentry limits:
- quality of crafted wooden items e.g. boards (blocks are only affected by tree quality),cheese trays, ...

Cooking limits:
- quality of cooking recpies
- quality of unbaked goods = [PER+ 2*(ingredient 1 + ... + 2*(ingredient n)]/( 1+2*n)
- quality of baked goods = (2*qitem + q oven + q fuel)/4 {©gaiadin}

Farming limits:
- seeds when harvested (maxQuality = farming +3)
- quality of trees

Survival limits:
- arrows, bone saw, stone axe, sling
- quality of herbs
- skinning and butchering; quality = (Survival + Tool quality)/2.
- bone quality only affected by survival
The effect of survival is capped at 200. {©Blaze}


Marksmanship limits:
- quality of bows
- minimum damage of ranged weapons

IV. Attributes affecting quality

Ceramics
- ceramic quality = (clay quality + dexterity)/2 , if dex < q clay {©Blaze}
- quality of burned goods = (2*qitem + qkiln + qfuel)/4 {©gaiadin}


Jewelry for accessoirs look here: http://havenandhearth.wikia.com/wiki/Accessoirs
- affected by both smithing and psyche
- quality for all accessoirs expect monocles and glasses is calculated with quality = sqrt(smithing*psyche) {©Xybb}
- monocle and glass quality is the average of the materials {©Blaze}


List for every crafted item
Equipment
- bear tooth talisman quality = (tooth quality + psyche)/2 {©Blaze}
- bone saw quality = ( q branch + 5x q bone)/6
- q bear cape = [(sewing*dex*psy)^(1/3) + (qtooth + qhide)/2 ]/2

Raw materials
- metal bar quality = (Coal quality + smelter quality)/2 {©Gaiadin}
- board quality = sqrt(qLog + qTool) {©Bigfish}

Food
- cheese quality will get near the quality of the trays used, racks dont seem to affect quality
- butter quality = (3*qMilk + qChurn)/4 {©Bigfish} ( you can produce butter of following quality: http://img11.imageshack.us/i/buttert.png/ )
- butter-steamed cavebulb is affected by butter,water and cave bulb quality (not by branch though)
- beer quality = (wort quality + barrel quality)/2 {©Gaiadin}

Domestic animals
- q milk <= q fodder
- q calf = +-5 (q bull + q cow)/2

- q egg = +-5 (q Cook + q chicken)/2
- q chick = q egg (and their quality decreases if the fodder quality is less than their own quality) Source


VI. Wild Animals {©Blaze}

Auroch:

HP = 330

Fox:

item quality = 4*Animal level
LP = 40*Animal level
HP = 20*Animal level

Boar:

item quality = 8*Animal level
LP = 60*Animal level
HP = 30*Animal level

Deer:

item quality = 10*Animal level
LP = 60*Animal level
HP = 20* Animal level

Bear:

item quality = 20*Animal level
LP = 600*Animal level
HP = 80*Animal level

VII. How to increase quality:

Delamore made a nice chart where you can see how to improve your quality:

Original version: http://i38.tinypic.com/2e55rhg.jpg

"Any kind of walls aren't affected by quality they have static hitpoints." by loftar

Nice post. Sticky?

[sabinati]

Great post.

The improvement factor is rounded down. ( So Q39 would be still 1x, and Q89 still 2x)

this isn't quite right, though. rounding down does occur, but, for instance with food, q39 does give more than q10. it just rounds down to the nearest whole number for FEP. so, on things with 1 base FEP, what you posted is correct. but anything with more than 1 base FEP gives the base*Sqrt(q/10), rounded down to the nearest whole number FEP point. there is probably a similar mechanic for stat bonus items, weapon damage, armor points, etc.

Thanks
I should read wiki better

QL for Jewelry except those which use items with quality is calculated by sqrt(smithing*psyche), you might want to add that.

[Blaze]

The monocle doesn't seem to factor in the quality of your silver crafting. Its quality is the average of your other materials.
I'm guessing spectacles are the same.

For the bear tooth talisman, the formula seems to the average of the quality of the tooth and your psyche.
String quality doesn't seem to matter.

Butchering/Skinning is limited by your (Survival+Tool quality)/2. The effect of survival is capped at 200.

Ceramics is the average of your clay quality and your dexterity.
I'm guessing the firing of the crafts uses the smelting formula.

Dexterity and survival has no effect on the crafting of stone axes (Averaged quality of your materials).
I hear saws are limited by something, carpentry maybe?

Animals also have their quality limits:
Fox: Item 4*Animal level, LP 40*AL
Boar: Items: 8*AL, LP 60*AL
Deer: Items: 10*AL, LP 60*AL
Bear: Items: 20*AL, LP 600*AL

{Awesome informations}

Thanks for sharing.

The effect of survival is capped at 200

Good to know that saved me some LP

May you check the HP i added for the animals?

[bajuba]

First let me say thank you for this compilation of info, it is amazing. Also if there is anyway I can help contribute to this I would like to.

Capentry:
- constructed wooden items e.g. herbalist tables,tanning tubes,looms, ...

Are build items actually affected by skills? Just want to be sure.

[sabinati]

actually no, they aren't.

[Blaze]

All I know about animal HP is:
Level X Boars have ~300HP
Level X Deer have ~150HP
Level X Foxes have Less than 180HP, but more than 140HP.
Level X Bears have between 800-900 HP.
