SE has a long history of making statements that don't turn out to be true, so I'll believe this when I see it. My guess is that, best-case, we won't see 100% HQ chances starting with all NQ ingredients via a macro. But right now, using HQ ingredients and with modest non-overmelded gear, it's trivial to HQ the highest-tier recipes in the game without even firing off Byregot's Blessing. There is no way it won't be possible to continue macro'ing 100% chances for top-tier crafters using HQ ingredients.

There's a chance this won't be true down the road, of course, but SE would need to make failures a little less painful in order to facilitate it. Particularly given that they're removing Reclaim, a NQ completion is basically equivalent to a failure right now because of how terribad NQ items are relative to anything else (the NQ Level 80 Facet weapon for WHM, for instance, is worse than the HQ Level 70 White Oak cane that you get as a reward right at the beginning of the Shadowbringers story). I think SE knows that forcing players to rely to some extent on RNG, with failure being tantamount to a complete loss of ingredients, isn't a good approach.
