Ideal properties for Antique Gun.

[valtsu0]

Can I see the quality of an item in the rockbox/when purchasing them from the rockbox or do I need to personally harrass the miners to get these resources? Also what happens if I combine different quality materials in alloys?

The quality of a material is is determined by the materials "base" quality and the quality "modifier". The quality modifiers can be found on the ore processing wiki page. I don't think the base quality of materials is listed anywhere and such i will leave you to figure them out. The modifier is lost as soon as the ore is put into a scoop or a rockbox.

It is completely possible to max out the antique gun with base quality alone.

The alloy has the average quality of its parents, like any other attribute.
