Minimum QL of Improve (type) Weapon MRR

[Kzak]

Today I managed to discover the minimum QL of an Improve (type) Weapons MRR!

Trying to improve a QL200 Slank Chop with a QL17 MRR, I got the message that I had to have a MRR of at least QL20 in order to do the improvement. 10% of the weapon's QL or better, in other words.

One less mystery in the world.

Hmm cool.

So if for some reason they nerf it to work 'as intended' we have a legitimate gripe to have all old MRRs boosted to ql200 or whatever.

Hopefully it doesn't change

actually, the problem is the ql of the MMR . The Robot Ins Disc qls are as follows:

ql 10 Improving Crushing Weapons
ql 20 Improving Thrusting ...
ql 30 Improving Slashing ...

So long as you don't combine these with lower ql symbol libraries and PPEs you should be ok.... you need ql40 MMR to modify weapons at 200ql

i mean really, the discs are such low ql there's no reason to buy lower ql parts than that...

I have a ql disc if anyone needs

IIRC, you can't even combine a QL 10 pppe with a QL 66+ MRR anyway.

Some people (myself included) are worried that someday FC might decide that MRR ql matters, and 50% or 100% sounds right.

This could nerf someone with (for example) a 190 MRR from making 200 armor.

Knowing that it is actually 10% right now gives us some ammunition if FC tries to claim: "The MRR's QL was supposed to matter, they are not working as intended."

I made the Improve Thrusting Weapons MRR of a low QL back in the auld days when money was a concern - the Improve Slashing Weapons MRR I got a QL130ish MRR for, seeing as the Slashing category had vastly more weapons than the Crushing and Thrusting categories. (2 millions for a MRR was a lot of money for me back then.)

Well, trying to improve weapons for 1K/QL wasn't nearly the gold-mine I had hoped, so now I just improve weapons if anyone asks me to.
