Alright I tried to ask this on IRC and pretty much all I got in response was a tirade over... I can't even remember. Something entirely irrelevant because I said one word that sparked one memory in one guy and everybody went off on it. Anyway, here it is.

The Item Quality on some of the items in game. Like how The Dwarf in the market has armor and weapons with 'Item Quality: Good'. What does that mean? Or is it simply flair?

Ha! Flair! Thats what I said in IRC and they went on an 'Office Space' tirade. It's good to remember things.

Quote from: Brian Chung, Bioware dudeAbsolutely nothing. There aren't even any gold cost multipliers.

I just added them as it could be a useful feature for PWs to be able to apply these values onto the item itself, without having to store them as localvars and store and retrieve them from a database all the time. Also, players can immediately see the composition and quality and craftsmanship of the item.

It's up to the module/PW builder to modify the 2DAs and write up various NWScripts to apply what they want onto the items. OnHit -> see if it is made out of Silver, Lycanthrope takes extra damage, that sort of thing.
