GU 38 - New Artisan Quest!

[Calthine]

With this update Domino brings Artisans a new quest:  <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=3837" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Journeyman Service</a>I have to say, I think this quest was well-designed.  I did it with several crafters of varying adventure levels and it's quite doable, and it addresses a scarcity issue we've had.  Provisioners especially will want to do this one <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Start with the Grandmaster in your city:  - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/mob.html?eq2mob=10765" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Grandmaster Kawayzer</a> (West Freeport) - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/mob.html?eq2mob=10768" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Grandmaster Feldmanus</a> (Old Kelethin near the Broker) - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/mob.html?eq2mob=10764" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Grandmaster Kimbialis </a>(Ironforge Exchange, North Qeynos) - <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/mob.html?eq2mob=10766" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Grandmaster Zyrythius </a>(Neriak in the Dockside Markets)

This is a great quest. Now we can aquire the hard to get level 28 and 29 advance trade skill books. No more paying absurd broker prices.

<p>Oh my stars and garters, thank you ever so much, Domino! <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/47941865eb7bbc2a777305b46cc059a2.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p>

<p>The New Quest awards Tradeskill EXP.  .. about 1% at lvl 51 .. /shrug.  </p><p>---- </p><p>Oh and DOMINO:  </p><p>I'm guessing all the quests complete on the 1st combine of pristine, since my WW's did too & it's the same quest speak, even though it asks for 3.  </p><p>Provisioners do have to do 3 combines, though.   </p><p>/shrug.</p>

[Calthine]

The only one I recall atm was my woodworker on Test, she had to do three to Pristine.Be sure to /bug it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I also hope they have plans on doing this for the other tiers, level 42 is rare also, at least for a sage. I killed mobs for hours and no drop (not that many level 42 mobs), watched the broker for weeks. The book was going for a plat+, checked it several times a day for a lower one, but ended up having to buy it for a plat.

[Aurumn]

I'll add my voice to those that love these quests. The first thing my little provi did was make a stack of Death by Chocolate and splatter that tart in Neriak Down Under that keeps yammering about things coming in black. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/908627bbe5e9f6a080977db8c365caff.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

[Mighty Melvor]

<p>Did this last night and it does indeed give TS XP.</p><p>I, too, only had to do one pristine combine for the quest completion.  /bugged it.</p>

[Valdaglerion]

<p>Are the rewards No-trade?</p>

<p>Absolutely LOVE the new quest!!!  <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p><p>Thank you Lady Domino! My Provisioner is having total blast with the new recipes and my Woodworker worships at your feet for finally having a chance to get her hands on Adv. WW 28. I just couldn't make myself pay over 2pp for it before. </p><p>Thank you ! </p>

[Eriol]

Considering that it's often both the 28 AND 29 books that are rare, and you have to pick one, some people will no doubt still be upset.  No biggie for me, as for my Jeweler I already HAD both, but should be useful to fill-in a few of my other alts through hand-me-downs.I'll admit that last night I completely forgot about these quests.  Will try and remember tonight!

At 2-5p each for the 29 books on my server who can blame them?

Would someone provide the stats of theproducts from the Provisioner's new Advance recipes? <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />
