Ok, here's the deal. My gatherers have hit lvl 51 so I decided I'd start making the gear for them. But, not all my crafters are 51 yet, just my GSM. I started off with the GSM making the mythrite goggles of gathering with HQ mats, and pretty much had no problems HQing the craft. But when I started making the Archaoskin Gloves of Gathering with HQ mats with my level 50 LTW, everything was MUCH harder. I wasted the first seven steps on progress alone, and I was using Ingenuity II. The remaining steps on quality only got me to 22% and of course, the craft ended up being NQ.

I'm using the same gear on both craftesr (Artisan set, i55 tools) and the craftsmanship and quality stats are both the same (337 C, 332 Q). Both recipes are at level 51 with the same difficulty (421). So why then did my LTW who is only a level behind my GSM and who shares the exact same gear and stats have a MUCH harder time making the same level recipe?
