Are build items actually affected by skills? Just want to be sure.
I tested it and it didnt make any difference which lvl carpentry is. So i was wrong :)

Nice compilation. I'f you're listing the affects of skills on specific items you may insert:

Survival: arrows, tree planting, bone saw
Marksmanship: bows

Your brick quality isn't quite right. Everything created in a kiln uses the following formula: (2*qitem + qoven + qfuel)/4 where qitem is quality of the object in the kiln, qoven is the quality of the kiln (or oven, they use the same formula), and qfuel is the average of the fuel used. This information is directly from Loftar on the Wiki.

It may be useful to mention that walls and fences have a static quality that is not affected by the materials or skills used to build them.

I keep seeing that farming is affected by dexterity but I've also heard that it used to be but isn't anymore. Can anyone confirm?

I've been trying to work out the formula used for making boards but I can never seem to lock it down. It is affected by carpentry and the saw used to cut them but I can't figure out exactly how it is affected by each.

If anyone can confirm the formula used to determine steel Quality in a steel crucible, that would be amazing.

gj on the animal qualities Blaze. I'm wondering though, why are the bones and specialty items(teeth, antlers, tusks) always higher Q than the meat and hide?

Bones only depend on survival.
Meat/Skin depends on your butchering tool and survival.

It means your cutting tool is lower quality, which is dragging your meat/skin down.
You see a masterful engraving by Blaze. On it is Blaze, bears, boars, and foxes. Blaze is striking down the bears. The boars are screaming. The foxes are in a fetal position. The image relates to the return of Blaze in the late winter of 2009.

This maybe true. I noticed today that my wheat q increased to 93 instead of decreasing. (farming 110/dex 16)

I'm working on this one :)

Isnt steel only dependant on wrought q and that you keep branches filled at 100%? Then steel q should be = wrought q. Maybe affected a bit by cruci quality.

Jorb posted 1-2 weeks ago that he will make DEX affect quality of seeds because he doesnt want newbies to have q100 seeds. Maybe he changed it back so DEX doesnt affect seeds anymore.

Can anyone give accurate base dmg and strength modifier for each weapon(q10)? I'm not sure if the wiki is still correct.

Stone Axe?
Militia Sword?
Bronze Sword?
Soldier Sword?
Axe of the Twelfth Bay?

Bow?
Ranger bow?

Bronze Sword: 15 base dmg
Soldier Sword: 20 base dmg
Battleaxe of the Twelfth Bay: somewhere between 50-60 base dmg

Bow: 16 or 17 base dmg

I think i have found a formula for boards now. Tested it on 3 trees with different qualities.
qBoard = sqrt( qTool * qTree)

quality of unbaked goods (before oven) = [DEX + 2*(ingredient 1 + ... + 2*(ingredient n)]/( 1+2*n)

I appriciate if someone confirms both.

sry for doublepost

This formula fits the results we've found. Confirmed. Excellent job.
