Whats up with pristine?

[Kbern]

I was under the impression that you need the prime/top of the list ingredient to be pristine to be able to create a pristine end product.

That is not the case with jewelry.

I can make pristine when the top ingredient is simply fashioned and not pristine.

I thought you were not even supposed to get the option to create a pristine if the prime ingredient was not up to par.

What is the deal?

example being Agate Ring

Agate is top ingredient, then gold plate, then gold band (forget exact name), then coal.

Three agates were one step under pristine yet still made 3 pristine rings.

Quality should depend on the primary ingredient. I would /bug it if i were you.

Do I have to bug a bug that is bugged in my favor? :p

[Liandra]

Ahh but then it becomes an exploit. /grin

Seriously though it is entirely up to you. I would see this as a very minor bug. I find it almost imposible not to get pristine results using the runecraft buffs. The +durability T2 buffs are a little too good when compaired to the other classes buffs.
