Path Of Exile - Guide - Quality Basics

Quality improves the signature stat of an item such as physical damage on weapons and evasion for evasion helmets or adds additional bonuses to skill gems.

Mechanics

Quality can be applied to most equipment (quivers and jewels are the exceptions), as well as maps and strongboxes. Any item with at least 1% quality will have a Superior prefix when dropped on the ground but not when in the inventory.

Each item type has a currency item associated with it that increases its quality. Quality does not affect the requirements for using an item or the mana cost of skills.

All items are normally capped at 20% quality and each currency that affect quality will improve:

• normal items by 5%.
• magic items by 2%.
• rare and unique items by 1%.

Increasing the quality on weapons and armours also makes crafting sockets and links with Jeweller's OrbsJeweller's OrbStack Size: 20Reforges the number of sockets on an itemRight click this item then left click a socketed item to apply it.

The item's quality increases the chances of obtaining more links. easier. Each 1% quality improves the result by 1%. This makes obtaining many sockets and links 20% more likely on 20% quality items and even likelier on 30% quality items.

Quality is normally capped at 20%. However, there are certain crafting methods that can increase quality beyond that, including:

• Corrupting a gem or flask can increase its quality, to up to 23% and 30%, respectively.

Effect on items

The quality is summed together with other local #% increased stats. For example a piece of armour that naturally gives 100 armour that has +50 to Armour and 90% increased Armour would now, with 20% quality, give ${\textstyle \color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}(100+50)*(100+90+20)/100=315}$.

Certain Harvest crafting crafts can apply enchantments on weapons and body armours that could change the effect of quality on that item instead of the default quality (weapon physical damage or body armour defences). This does not affect other aspects of quality such as the chance to have a certain number of sockets or links.

Skill gems

Both skill gems and support gems may have quality. Every skill is affected by quality differently, but it frequently improves the damage dealt with the skill or provides small improvements like increased Area of Effect. Even those that do have their damage improved will see different improvement rates for a given amount of quality.

The quality of skill gems may be improved with a Gemcutter's PrismGemcutter's PrismStack Size: 20Improves the quality of a gemRight click this item then left click a gem to apply it. The maximum quality is 20%.. These upgrades always improve a skill's quality by 1%. Alternatively, a level 20 non-awakened support gem and a Gemcutter's PrismGemcutter's PrismStack Size: 20Improves the quality of a gemRight click this item then left click a gem to apply it. The maximum quality is 20%. can be vendored (sold to a NPC) for a level 1 gem with 20% quality.

The effect of quality scales with the base quality effect, however, only whole numbers will be granted (and thus the effect will always be rounded down); for example 3% quality on a gem with 0.5% effect will only grant 1% effect and not 1.5% effect. Effects with some degree of fractions are rounded to their natural bases (i.e. seconds will be rounded to milliseconds, etc.).

It is possible to get a gem's quality above 20%. Corrupting a gem can increase its quality by up to 23%. Enhance SupportEnhance SupportExceptional, Support

Version history

Version	Changes
3.23.0	A substantial amount of damage-dealing skills have had their quality stats buffed. In most cases they will be significantly more powerful than before, and also more interesting. Many supports have also received changes to their quality stats. The vendor recipe for turning a Level 20 Gem into a 20% Quality Level 1 version of that Gem no longer works with Skill Gems, as the benefit Quality provides to damage dealing Skills is now more powerful. The vendor recipe can now only be used with non-Awakened Support Gems. Anomalous, Divergent and Phantasmal Quality Gems have been removed from the game. Existing alternate Quality Gems now have the base Quality effect found on the respective Gem.
2.2.0	When you use an Orb of Fusing or a Jeweller's Orb on an item, the item's quality is no longer consumed. The way that quality affects the result has also been changed. Each 1% quality improves the result by 1%. This makes the Fusing process 20% easier on 20% quality items, for example.
