Question on HQ Items for the skill 60+ crafters

[prettyboy]

approx how many lvls up do you have to have on an item to get consistent HQ? example, i know by the time you cap out on scorpion arrows (59) you should be HQing quite frequently on arrowwood lumber. but you probably don't have to be ~60 lvls above arrowwood lumber to be able to HQ it frequently. that example aside, how many lvls DO you need?

From what I've heard and seen to be true. 10.1 levels above trivial you get a boost to HQ1, 30.1 above trivial you get a boost to HQ1 again and a boost to HQ2, and 50.1 above trivial you get a third boost to HQ1, second to HQ2, and your first boost to HQ3.
So basically, 50.1 levels above trivial you'll HQ as well as anyone else, even if their skill level is above yours. ;p
