How Do Rare Tools Affect Improving?

Interested to know what people have noticed or know about this. Discuss.

Rumors I had heard was using Rare tools to improve items gives a slightly, very slightly higher chance to turn them rare. I do believe it is a slightly faster improvement timer, and of course less damage through use. Personally I want a full set of rare Leather Working tools (only have the Needle at the moment).

Mostly it seems to give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

I was using a rare pick and a regular one for surface mining and the rare one seemed to have more successes than the plain one. I know that is not improving but its something that I noticed about the rare pick so it might also apply to this..idk

I find the same thing to be true.

My supreme hammer improved things better than my rare or normal hammers of same ql. The increase of QL per improve was much higher with the supreme. Also faster timer.

only thing ive seen with my rare file, faster timer.

Useful to know. 

 

Seems worthwhile then to have rare or better over normal tools for improving
