Wiki note: The PTtWC quality is derived from Strange Catch (SC) by the formula 2(SC+n), where n is a random number ranging from 1 to SC. In practice, this results in a range of even-number values from 2SC+2 to 4SC. Therefore, if you are aiming for a Cove value of 10-12, for example, the best practice (the one most likely to yield the target outcome) would be to aim for a SC of 3.
