How to use Armourer’s Scrap?

Right click this item then left click an armour to apply it. Has greater effect on lower rarity armours. The maximum quality is 20%.
Shift click to unstack.

Why do you want to improve quality?

For armours: quality increases Armour / Evasion / Energy Shield. The quality is summed together with other increased stats. For example a piece of armour that naturally gives 100 armour that has +50 to Armour and 90% increased Armour would now, with 20% quality, give (100 + 50) * (100 + 90 + 20 )/100 = 315.

Quality on armours is also used to improve the chance of gaining sockets or links on an item using an Jeweller’s Orb or Orb of Fusing. Every 1% quality improves the chance of getting more sockets or links by 1%.
