However, their projected numbers are so that if you, a L50 crafter, starts an L1 craft with NQ items, you will not be able to reach more than, like, 500 Quality, which gives you a 10% chance. I mean, that's what I got out of the post, as well, I COULD be wrong here too.
From the Dev Post...

(Example)
When all items are HQ items
Final Quality will be between 800–1,000 (odds of producing an HQ item range from 50% to 100%).

When all items are normal items
Final Quality will be between 300–600 (odds of producing an HQ item range from 0% to 10%).


What I propose is what you just said.. that if you get to 1000 quality.. regardless of materials used.. you should get a same percentage at HQ.
