That way you would still be able to make a HQ item a bit easier than it is with only using NQ items, and you would be able to make HQ-items out of NQ-items that drops from mobs/leve-quest rewards.
For unique items, this could be done by searching for upgrades in the same manner as you search for repairs in the case you are not able to do it yourself due to the lack of skill.
And of course, the recipes for reinforcing gear/items would be a higher level than making the actual item.

When logging/fishing/mining, the NQ and HQ+n tends to fill up your inventory rather fast.
Yes please take out what is currently one of the few things that makes DoLs useful... /sigh
