HQ ingotsFollow

I'm trying to figure out if you can HQ ingots, as in +1, +2, +3 ingots? I know when you HQ ingots with your main hand you just get more NQ ingots, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that I cannot find now, that if you use off hand you can make +1,+2,+3 ingots? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance.

The rule of thumb that I've heard (and I really hope this is correct as I don't want to spread misinformation).. But what I've heard is that whatever the main gives for HQ (either larger quantity or +1, +2, +3), the offhand tool will give the opposite.

I'm sure I'll test this a bit in the future, but I've been really busy lately.

Edit - If it wasn't clear, I would expect you to be able to get +1/2/3 ingots using grinding wheels.

Recently I made +2 silver nuggets. I was getting zip all SP from ore to nuggets and I had a pile of +1,2,3 ore from ranking up mining so I picked up the rank 27 secondary tool (ragstone? silt? w/e) and decided to give it a go. If the nuggets increase in quality, I'd assume that the ingots would too.

Offhand to make nugget/ingot +1/+2/+3, I've made Brass Ingot, Brass Nugget and Silver Nugget HQ.

For Jade, if you want Jadite HQ use Main Hand. If you want Nephrite HQ use Off hand. I have both Jadite +1 and Nephrite +1.

For Colored Quartz, Main Hand give higher tier Raw Gem while Off Hand give more basic tier Raw Gems.

For Parts like Harpoon Head, Butt or Bow Grip, Main Hand give +1/+2/+3. I've done that before for all of them so I can guarantee, but only for Goldsmith part.
