Okay so I have a question about Item Quality and Mod Options. I will give you an example:

Ilum Crystal (p197 of F&D).

Modification Options: 2 item quality (vicious +1) mods

4 Damage +1 Mods (So would this mean damage 10 on a Basic Lightsaber?)

Decrease the weapon's critical rating by 1 to a minimum of 1 Mod

Okay this is what I am trying to understand. Item Qualities (p161 of F&D)

2 Item quality means you need to roll 2 Advantage correct?

But vicious is a passive mod so I wouldn't need to roll the 2 Advantage to active it right?

Now a Basic Lightsaber has 5 HP (hard points). An Ilum Crystal takes 2 Hard Points correct? Now do the Modifications Options add to the HP? So if all three of the modification options are done does this could as 5 HP? Two from the crystal and three from the modifications?

Maybe I am over thinking this, but for some reason I can't wrap my mind around this. I re-read this section and again don't seem to get it. F&D is the first book I have from the FF SW RPG.

Attachments themselves are the only thing that takes up a weapon's Hard Points. So regardless if an Ilum Crystal (or any crystal) has all the possible modifications done to it or none, it will still only take 2 Hard Points.

Item Qualities come in Passive and Active forms. Passive means it's done automatically, Active means you need to spend Advantage (or Triumph) to use it. Generally speaking, yes, Activate item qualities do require 2 Advantage, but may specify otherwise in their Item Quality description. And yes, Vicious is passive, so no Advantage needs to be spent to use it.

Thanks for the reply, wanted to make sure about this as well.

The 4 Damage +1 Mods. This is +1 Damage Mod, and you can do this 4 times, not a +4 that you can do once correct?

I think the biggest issue for me is the "quality" and how it works

You're correct. It is a +1 modification, where you can attempt the modification up to 4 times. More and more modifications get progressively more difficult to successfully add.
