I've been trying to find reliable information on subcraft and HQ tiers, but haven't been able to. anyone have any idea how it works?
As far as I know, you need 10 levels above the synth cap to gain T1. Which means a synth like cursed cuirass, you need 119 GS and 80 Alchemy. How would you go about getting a sub up that high?
Thanks in advance
Cursed Cuirass is 98 Goldsmith and 59~ Alchemy (If you look at the BG NQ list 59 but HQ list 54).
But generally its accepted that for T1(~10%) HQ you need 11 over synth skill (right at the point you stop skilling up on it now).
T2(~25%) you need 31 above the synth skill.
EDIT:

If you mean the cursed cuirass to bewitched/voodoo synth you generally don't get to T1 the non cursed -1 synth.
The only way to get beyond 70 (77 with adv support+gear) on a sub is to make the stall for the sub and us at the cost of main synth.
