As it is you'll kinda have to try interacting with other people to get most recipes done instead of just feeling like you can go to some one stop shop guy.
If they really want this they need to raise the grind from 50HQ to 500 or even 1k HQ turn in for the tools, in this case I may group with other top crafters in my trading/crafting LS to get the HQ 3-star out asap.
