An alternative improvement would be to allow multiple items to be instead created in parallel, the purpose of this would be to allow you to quickly process a large number of items below your level. For instance you could specify that you want to create 100 leather, then you enter the crafting creation interface and now you have a creation bar that is 100 times more in its Progress and Quality than normal, and now should you successfully create all 100 you will get 100 of the exact same parameters, meaning if you manage to max out the quality bar you could, in one go, get 100 HQ leather pieces, alternatively you might fail the progress check and lose everything.
