Ingot grade determining grade of finished product?

That requires a whole new level of prediction (guessing).

I think it normally falls like this (from what I've gathered). The 0 point finished actually decreases the quality of the item somewhat. I 'think' its around 5% but not sure. I've tried testing items that have 30% quality (C grade) and could've sworn they dropped to D grade when completed.

As a rule of thumb, I try to have the 100pts for the 'nice' finisher. Especially when I'm making stuff to sell or for myself.

If the primary and secondary component are the same grade, the final product should turn out that grade. At least, that seems the trend on all of my items. I've never made any item that had C for both the primary and secondary but D for the final product.

Now that I think about it, the attach I used as the finisher on the item (some piece of armour) may have bumped the final grade just as the 0-point finisher can lower the final grade if you lose enough %. It's the only thing I can think of that fits, at any rate. Thanks for the push in the right direction, Shinto.
