What Influences Crafted Items?
Three main factors determine the magical properties of your crafted items:
- Your Luck: Higher luck gives you better chances for good properties (uses 0-50% of your total luck stat)
- Tool Quality: The resource your crafting tool is made from (hammer, sewing kit, etc.)
- Material Quality: The resource you're using to craft the item
How Much Does Each Factor Matter?
Different properties are influenced differently:
- Durability (how long it lasts): Only your Luck matters
- Damage/Protection/Tuning: Material is most important (80%), tool helps a bit (20%), plus luck
- Accuracy on Combat Weapons: Only your Luck matters
- Accuracy on Gathering Tools: Tool is most important (80%), material helps a bit (20%), plus luck
