This currently works, but it also broken.
1. When you have this star equipped, but don't have any points in the extraction passives for a crafting skill line, you'll be able to get blue upgrade materials. I was only able to test this with jewelrycrafting, because PTS boxes don't have anything for RAW clothing, blacksmithing, and woodworking materials. With this passive equipped, I was able to get jewelrycrafting material + pulverized antimony, cobalt, & zinc. The extra loot I got was obtaining Iridium Grains. I suspect this will be the same for the the other 3, in which you'll get Embroidery, Dwarven Oil, and Turpen.
2. When you have this star equipped AND also have 3 points into the extraction passive, you CANNOT get any upgrade material. I tested this with 3/3 extraction in jewelrycrafting & refined 5,000 dust. YOU DO NOT GET ANY GRAINS. All you get is the material + pulverized antimony, cobalt, and zinc.
However! If you put 1/3 into the extraction passive, you can get upgrade materials! If you put 2/3 into the extraction passive, you can also get upgrade material. As soon as you put the 3rd one in for 3/3, you cannot get upgrade materials for some reason. Since I cannot test this with clothing, blacksmithing and woodworking, I am assuming this is also the case.
This has been my experience exactly, though I have carried 3 points into extraction in every craft. Therefore, I get absolutely nothing except the base mat when I refine. And not many of them.
