silk quality loss

[Chakravanti]

I notice a 1-3 pt loss on hatched eggs regardless of using the best tables. I also notice that they seem entirely unaffected by leaves. I still notice an overall Q improvement from Breeding.

I know this is necro-posting, but I would like to know whether this has been resolved, there never was a problem, or if there is a problem and it hasn't been fixed yet.

From what I've noticed the only way to gain quality is breeding. Eggs will be -5 to +5 of the average of the parents as you've likely noticed.
When feeding worms the leaf quality acts as a cap, only lowers the worms' quality if they are higher than the leaves. No other steps effect quality at all.

edit: it may also be possible that herbalist tables lower the quality of hatched eggs, I myself have shittier mulberry trees than tables so I can't confirm.

I ran into this too some days ago.

Reason i was that confused was that the Wiki on most pages about silk correctly reflects the current game mechanics that the quality only changes when the moths mate and spawn eggs, but on http://havenandhearth.wikia.com/index.p ... ldid=13663 it stated that:

Each time a worm eats a leaf, the worm's quality can increase or decrease towards the leaf's quality.

This obviously false information somehow managd to anchor into my brain, to prevent others to get infected by this meme i edited it out of the page.

'Preciated. Sericulture needs some detail research (nothing too difficult, just little things I never remember or take the time to do). Stuff like amount of eggs and quality change when the moths mate, how heavily leaves affect the worms, etc..

I haven't had any problems with my tables. Lower quality tables seriously hurt the worms, but higher quality tables never raised the worms quality as mentioned in the OP (to no surprise, as that was last year). Leaves better than the worms also don't improve them, but I've never tried lower quality leaves to test for quality change.

I can say, however, that silk quality works peculiarly. Filaments quality are not affected by cauldron, fuel, or water, from what I can tell cocoon, and dexterity and/or Sewing. For some odd reason, a 50 cocoon, cooked with 70+ dex and 65 sewing (notice both stats are far higher than the cocoon), yielded q48 filaments, but when I equipped Thimbles the filaments came out properly at q50.
