Maker'd Shoe Upgrades?

Here's the shoes I was going to make (notice 5 upgrades available):


Here's the actual shoes created:



Above average stats, but only 3 upgrades?!! I thought that only stats were affected if you make your own equips, so does this mean that your amount of upgrades are affected as well? I'm not really that bummed since I was only planning on scrolling them for speed, but it's still crazy to me that the upgrades were affected :f6:

Were there any unusual circumstances when you used maker?
Did you do it during the boat ride?
Were you scrolling something else just before using maker?
Just log on? Chatting a lot? Laggy? Whatever?
