HQ ore trivial changes?

[Windru Peacekeaper]

Since my dwarf is my next highest smith after my humans at 115 skill, I decided to have him skill up close to the trivials for Silvered and Velium weapons.

At skill 27, he got 2 skill ups on HQ ore:
On skill up to 28, I wasn't paying attention which combine I did, but it was either making ore from FS weapons, or from converting 3 small bricks of HQ ore into 1 large brick...sorry I don't remember exactly.
However, on the skill up to 29, I was paying attention because it caught me off-guard...I definitely got a skill up to 29 converting 3 small pieces into a failure.

EDIT: I got some more small pieces of HQ ore leftover from my monk, and I was definitely trivial at 29 making a small brick of HQ ore, with success also. Could this be a new trivial?

Does anyone else have any other similar experience?

QUESTION:

Which recipes (products) were you doing for these trivial reports?

I don't find this report very clear.

Yes, I was very unclear of it that night myself. I suggest someone else trying some HQ ore conversions; but I can say that my dwarf got a skill up to 29 on a failure converting 3 small pieces of HQ ore into a small brick of HQ ore. He (my dwarf) later (a couple hours) succeded the same conversion and found it to be trivial.

I have a warrior with a 21 smithing skill with a few FS weapons in shared bank, I will give them to him and have him try these same conversions again around 27 also.

OK,...
I took my barbarian warrior with a 21 smithing skill to halas and bought all the rusty weapons he could carry, and made them into normal ore, and did conversions until he was 27 (known conversions for normal ore trivial).

At skill 27, I successfully converted 3 small bricks of HQ ore + water into 1 large brick of HQ ore and received a skill up to 28. My warrior is 42, and has a STR of 198, WIS = 77, INT =71.

I have no doubt of this; I just completed this 5 minutes ago. I will post any other news also...
EDIT:
Just got some more HQ ore...
THE very next attempt with my warrior, at skill 28, I was successful with a skill up to 29:
3 small bricks of HQ ore + water = large brick of HQ ore
I am at 29 now and will try to make another large HQ brick from 3 small HQ bricks + water, to confirm trivial

I then made a successful combine at 29 with my warrior converting 3 small pieces of HQ ore into a small brick of HQ ore;

that in itself does not confirm at 29, but it does raise doubt about HQ conversions being trivial at 27...since my previous post suggested 3 small pieces at 29, and tonights confirmed conversion of small into large at 29...

Ok updated trivial to 29
