Player name is Egor on Exo. When I put my ribbon shoulder pad in the forge it lost QL. Two pads I believe became ash. One pad lost ql from 70 to 66. Did not see the first 2 degrade only saw the event of pad becoming ash. The single 1 was a test. Bought it at 70ql put it in the forge and watched and began to imp with steel, got plate armor skill from imping but ql dropped to 66ql. It appears the ribbon shoulder pad in the forge is a bug.
