Even full HQ gear won't get you from quality 1 to 100 with NQ mats. It requires up to date, full HQ gear, HQ mats for me to get certain HQ at level. I can assure HQ at level 18, not before. The level 18 touch skill is 80% success base. The first one you get is 70% and in my experience it succeeds 30% on average. CS, SH, Waste Not, standard touch x 4, CS with all HQ gets 100% if at level. If the recipe is even one level above it will complete at 92% quality.

I've leveled 5 characters, 8 crafts and the only way I have found to beat RnG in this game is to remove it. It will always bite you in the ass and the fail gets worse the closer you get to leveling.
