Can You Roll Mind's Eye via Qurious Armor Crafting?

YES. Mind's Eye can be obtained as an extra skill on your armor when you try rolling for skills via Qurious Armor Crafting.

Best Armor Augments and Armor Recommendations

Damage bonus only applies to parts that are durable

This means that a weapon with low sharpness will not be able to permanently apply Mind's eye since it will not consider all monster parts as “hard” and it is relative to the monster's resistance itself. Due to this, Mind's Eye becomes a great skill to use against monsters like Basarios and Rajang's powered up mode.

Shouldn't it be the opposite? It's weapons with a HIGH sharpness that will not consider certain parts as being hard relative to the weapon's sharpness. Mind's Eye is most often used with weapons a lot of green sharpness in the first place.
