It is well known that when assembling an implant, the QL of the implant can sometimes go up. However, time and time again, I've seen conflicting information on what causes this:
Theory #1: Implant QL increases when installing a cluster that has much higher QL than the implant
Theory #2: Implant QL increases when the character has much higher nanoprogramming skill than neededOriginally posted by Sigyn in this thread:
A higher cluster can raise implant ql by a couple %. Example: slapping a ql180 cluster into ql125 basic will likely produce a ql127-128 implant.
So which one is correct? This is something I've always been curious about, and would like to know the definitive answer once and for all.Originally posted by BGumble in this thread:
having a cluster of a higher QL than the implant doesnt seem to raise the QL of the assembled implant - what does raise the final QL of the implant seems to be the nano programming skill of the assembler. Get 3 QL30 clusters and a QL30 implant and get them assembled by a level 200 MP you'll end up with an implant maybe around QL35.
