We'll be able to craft HQ intermediate and finished items, but won't be able to gather them. The ore needed to make an ingot will be NQ, but we can still make HQ ingots and armor, for example.

I'd LOVE to see them drop the item quantity requirement for a number of things. Needing upwards of 15 crystals per batch of 3 cookies is ridiculous. Having to make 5 leather that require 5 skins/hides each is bonkers. Drop the quantity needed for non-Master Recipe items; they have no significant impact on endgame so faster leveling doesn't matter terribly much. All that does is use up legit players' time and incentivize them to buy crystals from what are most likely bots or people using bots to gather for a non-bot MB character.
