Weaver Lv 53 quest reward logic?

The quest wants me to craft a Lv 53 HQ crafter glove and hand it in, and it lets me select a reward from the Lv 53 crafter set pieces, but they are all NQ.

So I make something HQ and hand it in, then get the same thing back but in NQ?

What's the logic in this reward design? Anyone, please enlighten me...

Blacksmith gets one that's even worse later on - you're supposed to make a HQ version of the same hammer the quest gives you as a reward (not even a choice for that one) in NQ.
The logic is most likely that they weren't thinking along those lines when designing the quest. Crafting quests have always been "throw a dart at the list of recipes for that level, reward is NQ level appropriate gear."

I've started taking up crafting. If the only rewards are stuff I can HQ myself, I just take the allegan piece. I'm forced to take the needles, but then I go for a HQ synth on my GSM afterwards.

By the time the quests come up, I've usually already HQ'd main/off hand items. Heck from 55 to 60 All of my crafting classes are wearing the same HQ stuff. But yes those rewards vs what you have to make for that quest is a little annoying.

In some cases even the nq gear is worth more than the allagan piece

It's annoying how crafter and gatherer didn't get any HQ equipment as reward while all DoW and DoM get the HQ gear.

Not only no HQ rewards, but the vendors gave no lvl 53 gear, no 60 NQ tools.

All in all, the DoW/M got all the love, and the Crafter and Gatherers were told to grind and craft their stuff. (When I finally hit Weaver/Leather/GSM/CRP to 55... it made everything soooo much easier, and I had to buy one or two HQ 53 items.) I think SE dislikes the Crafter/Gatherers. Oo

what about gsm only needing nq turn ins while everyone else needs hq.

these missions weren't looked at carefully but atleast they are easy.

you can buy NQ main hand weapons in Allyz Lla, and NQ offhands at Mintoya's cave in the Hinterlands from a froggy junkmonger. Pardon my spelling.

Well, the lvl 53 GSM quest required HQ turn-in (hardsilver bangle of casting), and the base mats for that craft required lvl 56 MIN for Hardsilver sand and lvl 58 FSH for the Mogpom for the grade 1 intelligence disolvant. By far the most annoying lvl 53 class quest I've seen :p And the Music box does require you to have the master book

Every crafter lv60 quest requires the master book.
For ALC even the lv58 already requires it. HQ!!
Crafted with stuff from aetherial desynth... Fortunatelly there were plenty of Hq items ppl got from maps on my server and i just bought one potion for 2k gil for that quest ><

There is some pretty big disparity between the class quests. Like WYV and LTH both have to make insanely expensive green gear for the last quest (NQ thankfully) vs Goldsmith who has to make easy to craft housing items.
