• The time it takes to heat up an item

and increases:

• The general performance of the item

• Chance of success when creating something with them

Quality (unique cases)

Higher quality increases:

• The number of guards in a Guard Tower, there is one every 10 ql. A 24ql tower has 2 guards while a QL 41 tower has 4 guards. A tower will always have 1 guard, but it will not get a second until it passes 20 QL
• The range and strength of a god's presence around an altar
• The amount food will fill up the hunger bar
