This is another case where I think it's just obscenely rare at best. In my hundreds of levels of skill ups, I have only gotten HQ results maybe 3 times. The last two times I have gotten it, I know for a fact that I had image support to push my effective level up to or beyond the recipe cap.
My guess is that the people who say that they routinely (i.e. once every 50 skill up attempts) get HQs while skilling up are doing so when their effective crafting level has reached or exceeded the recipe cap.
I'd place the HQ rate for when you're below the cap at something like 0.01%, and not the 1 to 2% you get with Tier 0.
