Did I see this or Did I imagine this???

[gi]

Hi all, I am sure I saw something in the notes about the byproducts from adepts 3's (the powders) being able to be combined to make a higher Tier version of the sparkling powder stuff.  Did I imagine this? I can't find any reference in any of the patch notes for GU 36 or 37 ???

<p>The part about this in the update notes is the following:</p><p>Alchemist Janicia in the Fools Gold in Rivervale is in need of assistance from a very high level alchemist ... </p><p>Im not sure exactly what level alchy you need to be, but Id imagine end t7'ish (mine is 70 so cant say for sure).</p>

You need to be a level 69+ alchemist to obtain the<a href="http://eq2.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=q17&menustr=060000000000" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> A bit of Fire, a bit of Ice</a> quest.

yup, you need to be lvl 69/70 alchemist (any adventure level) and see the halfling alchemist in the Fools Gold Inn , just inside Rivervale She will send you to get some items from Everfrost and Lavastorm (all items near docks, so safe for any level, but u do need to be able to mine/gather there). she then rewards you with the recipes for combing dust together to make a higher tier dust 3 dusts are required, but if you get pristine, one dust is returned to you.

Nice to know I am not going mad! <img src="/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Although I am a number of level too young in the alchemy department to take advantage of this quest reward.

Although my alchie was already capped in harvesting skills.</p><p>But, TBH ,although a minor PITA, its not that difficult or time consuming to get any level adventurer to the skill required. The recipe is more than worth it, although , I agree, the quest would be better with no skill requirements other than the lvl 69 alchie.</p>

My Alchy is a L30 Paladin/70 Alchy.  Skills at the time were on average 190/350.  I was able to gather and mine the parts. I can't remember where I read/heard it but the recipe was supposed to be able to be completed by L1/L70 Alchys.

<p>Thank you guys! </p><p>I guess I'll just go ahead as originally planed and see how far I get with it this weekend. If it ends up being wasted trip, oh well ... the poor girl does need to get out once in a blue moon I guess ... as long as she doesn't make it a habit! I remember last time I gave one of my crafters permission to leave the dungeon it took weeks to track her down and drag her back.  <img src="/smilies/908627bbe5e9f6a080977db8c365caff.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

My harvesting was 150/350 and I was able to collect the items, got skill ups as well. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>I examined one of them just on a lark, I think the ice crystal in Everfrost, and it told me skill needed to harvest was 1.  So, unless you honestly have zero in your harvesting skill, you should be fine.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

is it even posible to have zero?
