OK! after 1000+ synt, i got 310 HQ (99) and 690 NQ (33) not a single HQ (66) so who ever got a HQ (66) post a screenshot of it, coz i dont think its posible.
Actually Deleon, 11 levels over is tier 1. 31 levels over is Tier 2. So if you have Alchemy 72 Goldsmithing 49, you should be tier 2 which is about 25% HQ rate. I have Alchemy 100+3 and Goldsmithing 60 and I HQ these frequently.
Have synthed thousands and thousands of all types of bullets and never ONCE have I got a HQ 66, till I see a screen shot I agree with posters below that it doesnt exist.

Great craft level level Alchemy up to 41. Also can make Prism Powders for profit at level 41 as well. Must have Goldsmithing sub as well around 18 is max.
Regarding what Crosis said, I think this may only apply to Bastokers. I am Windurstian with heroic fame worldwide and he sells me bullets for 90 apiece, well over current AH price.
I have never received an HQ of 66 on these. i believe there is no HQ 66. I have received lots of HQ of 99s though. My theory is that HQ1 is 33, and possibly HQ2 is 99. This is because I notice there is a much lower HQ rate than usual on this item compared to other items I synth.
