* The quality you can improve something up to is limited by two things:
** your skill that is used for improving
** the quality of the materials quality that is are needed for improving* When improving with items like [[log]]s or lumps improving requires 5% of the weight of the object being improved in that material.
As example: if you have carpentry 20 and use quality 10 logs to improve a mallet you can get it to atleast quality 10, after that the logs can't be used anymore for improving this mallet as its quality is higher than the quality of the logs. You can however get up to around 30 IF you are lucky and it only wants tools for the improving processes.
