Interaction of Beastcrafting 30% Quality Corruption with >30% Quality Items

Hi everyone,

the main question I have is, how the Beastcraft "Corrupt an armor/weapon to have 30% Quality" interacts with Synthesis-Hillock- and Veiled-Crafted items that have >30% quality.

Does this corruption overwrite any quality prior on the item so that it will have 30% no matter what, or does it stack somehow? E.g. if I corrupt an item with 38% or even 46% quality, will the corruption reduce it to 30%?

I guess that will be the case but I just want to make sure that I don't miss something before passing a point of no return.

Thx in advance.

the crafted quality will stay. the beastcraft affects the baseline quality.

So baseline is set to 30%, plus whatever quality from the crafted/veiled mod.


The max quality is still 48% (30+18 craft) though, and there is NO other benefit of this corruption (you do not get corruption implicits, but you DO get the corrupt tag). it's really not worth doing.

But it would be possible to get an item to 28% using Rank 3 Hillock in the Syndicate Safehouse and then use the Beastcraft corruption to get it to 38%, e.g. if you can't craft the +18% quality veiled mod on the item because it has no more free affixes?

Synthesis hillock and beastcraft both affect the BASE quality. So if you take a 28% hillock item, and beast corrupt, it goes to 30% with the corrupt tag. Beastcraft does not add 10% quality, it sets an items base quality to 30%.

EX: if you have a 28% from hillock, with an 18% crafted mod (46% total), and then use the beastcraft, it ends up at 48%.

Ah ok I see.

The added 2% that the corruption would get me when combined with Hillock is defenitely not worth corrupting it.

Thanks for the help!
