The quality.Improving is sort of like a tug-of-war game.You always go up little increases by little,and small amounts with each success or decreases when you always go down little by littlerepair after damaging the item.As the higher the item's [[quality of the item gets,]] reaches the more maximum you will fail are able to produce (based on skill and less equipment) you will begin to fail more often than succeed depending on your skill.
