On the other hand, we can (for example) get HQ's on silver and gold threads- and end up with larger multiples. Then again, it's not like you can get multiple ingots out of synthing some copper ore together...so hey, we're in the same boat as Smithing/Goldsmithing. That is, we're the majority, woodworkers the minority when it comes to getting extra materials out of basic resource synths.
