The only extra thing I would like to add is about making use of NQ crafts IF the stats are not made desirable enough and recipes are made difficult enough that HQ becomes out of reach for casual players

*Of recipes are designed to limit HQ again, with having 100% HQ being non-existent, then add in a second recipe.

Let the second recipe require a NQ version in addition to a few more materials. Let this second recipe have a much higher base quality allowing for a better chance to HQ. Like a "Touch Up" recipe. These recipes can be purchased with scrips and limited to 1 purchase a week. Let the recipe given be RANDOM, but never a duplicate.

This would let NQ items have a use, allow a slight gating effect on HQ versions being made by people with less stats, and offer an alternative to overmelding to obtain HQ.
