Zatarra’s Incomplete Guide to the
Crafting Quests for DAOC Hibernia Version

After long searches on the VNboards and personally
experience and frustration completing these quests I thought it might be
helpful to others to have a complete reference.
The following information is full of errors and mistakes. This is a preliminary guide until further
confirmation and holes of information can be filled in. Hopefully this helps some of you answer some
of your questions to advance further in whatever you are doing. It is currently being hosted at:
ftp://www.geeklabs.org/incoming/ until more/another home can be found. It is in MS Word format.
Currently as of May 2004 there exist 4 crafting
quests. One at each
100 unit of crafting beyond 400 for each of the 6 crafting classes. These can be obtained by going to your
particular craft’s Trade skills Master and clicking on him. While this is mainly supported at the TNN
Masters it also has worked with limited success at the Domnann Masters and
housing Masters but more on that later.

Quests
Walkthroughs:
The 500 and 600 level quests
are identical for all crafting professions.
Suggested setup to speed things up is have TNN, Domn porters, and
Hastener NPCs setup in your house. Use
your trainer in Domnann to grant the quest if that’s working.
500 Quest:
Talk to trainer. (Aslander,
Alchemist Master, near mage training area)
Talk to trainer assistant. (Alchemist Assistant, Mannuss, palace court yard)
Make item and take it to person in mag mell.
Go back to trainer assistant
Go to Howth and talk to Sosanna and get list.
Put list on hotbar and "use" it for steps to do -- you can't
"use" it if you are moving so stand still, hit "e" and hit
the hotbar icon for the next step to do.
First Item is Red Cabbage. Go speak
with Merle the Old and "/say
Cabbage". He is west of Howth up on hill at 14.3k, 42.2k in
Second Item is Elderberries. Ride to
Connla's Bridge and jump (Horse to Innis Carthaig).
West-Northwest of bridge is a small camp with a cart. I found the berries in
the cart at 21k, 20k In
Third Item is Blueberries. These are
found at a log near the road riding from Connla to Ardagh in sight of Ardagh at
33.8k, 11k in
Fourth Item is Indigo Leaves. Ride
back to Connla from Ardagh and jump just past Howth. Go Southeast
to the water and see the hut to the south. Go to water and slightly south to 24.7k, 59k in
Fifth Item is Red Cedar Roots. Run Northwest
to Howth and take horse north to Mag Mell. Jump at the Tower next to road just
north of Howth and head west to closest Red Cedar and stand on the back side at
17.7k, 24.6k in
Return Items to Sosanna and she gives you tarts to take to Loman who is just
west inside the town on the wall tower. He gives you pots to take back to
Sosanna. She lets you choose dye for Cloth, Leather, or Enamel and also gives
you the dye for you to return.
600 Quest:
To do this quest you will need
to have a crafting skill trained to 600 or higher.
This quest will start with any of the crafter trainers in any zone.
1) Speak with your trade skill master in TnN.
2) Deliver the Cart of Ore to Alwyn
in Howth
3) Return to your trade skill master and see if there is anything else that
needs to be done.
4) Deliver the Bolts of Cloth to Ronan
in Connla
5) Return to your trade skill master and see if there is anything else that
needs to be done.
6) /USE the Glowing Substance while carrying the other two items you received
while on your deliveries.
7) Hand the infused hide to your trade master to receive your reward.
"Splendid! You have done an amazing job! Now as to your
reward. Which would you like? Would you like to craft [faster], craft
[smarter], or craft [better]?"
QUESTS 700 and 800 are unique to each
class: most are as of patch 1.69
Note: use of the new TnN stable boy (Carsten) (25.3k,
52.3k) at North entrance TnN can speed things up as
well as TnN porter and Hastener NPC in house.
Armor crafting
700 Quest
to start: click “something” …
To solve the riddles you must
make 4 objects. All must be 96% or better quality.
Step 1 Turn in Gossamer Bedroll Pillow (cloth working)
Step 2 Turn in Rigid Saddlebag (leatherworking)
Step 3 Turn in Cobalt Wrought Jewelry Box (metalworking)
Step 4 Turn in Heartwood Curio Box (woodworking)
Also all your sub skills above must be at 425 or better for
successful creation of these items.

Ardee (54.8k, 51.3k

Cedric wants his "own shop"
Cobalt Bastard Sword turn in at Culraid
Cobalt Sickle turn in at DL
You need to make sure your
saddle bag is 96% quality or greater, if you make it and it drops on top of one
that’s say 94% quality to make a stack that will effectively make both of them 94%
(I believe).
800 WC

700 quest:
on MIDS!!
do the 4 riddles, and make the following: gossamer
bedroll pillow, rigid saddlebag, fine alloy wrought jewelry box, and a
heartwood curio box. All must be 96%+.
It pretty much makes sure your secondary skills are up. If they are 450 and
over, you should be fine in making the above.
Talk to Coventina Bordin (she's right above Arliss) And
she'll spout out about her favorite food (fresh fish). Go back to Arliss and
talk to him. He will ask you about Coventina's favorite food. Reply fresh fish
and he will ask you to make a pair or seamist gloves and boots.
The gloves go to Thol Dunnin at Snowdonia station and the boots go to Tyna
Blade at Caer Witrin. (yeah, long horse ride, but I
used the port at CS to bypass it)
Return to Arliss for your reward.
Fletching
700 - In TNN
Go to trainer, get a quiz. Answers are:

Technically, if you had all these items, you could do it standing in place.
Caution. making a lower trinket.
drop it or sell to the Fletcher supplier IMMEDIATELY.
If you make a better one, it auto stacks and drops to lowest quality.
* This quest was bugged and had to have CSR look into it and reset it. Suggested making EXACTLY 96
qual curio box. I made dumped all
boxes (as they stack sadly and can’t delve for quality on them yet) and made
and dumped em till I had 1 in invent exactly 96 qual.
800
Get wood from trainer
See lady in mag mell, drop off wood
She wants a stonewood heavy recurve, Go back to Nog (no lathe in Ardee damn)

800
I thought the alb 800 alch
quest was broken yesterday too, but it was just badly written.
I was told to make 2 potions (forgot exactly which) and take them to an NPC in
ludlow, no mention was made of minimum quality as it usually is (and there's no
quality req for the tinctures you have to make), I tried to give him the first
one I made and got 'blah blah doesn't want that item.' I was about to give up
but then I tried making another 97+ one and it worked...
Approximate
Costs per Craft reaching to LGM (1000 skill level):
(All costs below are rounded
estimates)
Armor Crafting
Cost to LGM: 10-13 Plat
IMHO utilize Reinforced (RI)
boots, gloves and occasional sleeves all the way to LGM. Beyond that it is l51 RI sleeves and then
haubs. The market in Tristan for MP/99
qual haubs scale and RI is horrific and don’t expect to get full value for your
items here anymore.
Tailoring
Cost to LGM : 3 Plat (1100 5 Plat)
000-300 1g
301-400 29g
401-500 108g
501-600 277g
601-700 629g
701-800 1.3p
801-900 2.1p
901-1000 3.4p
1001-1100 5p
IMHO use gloves and boots as
often as you can and occasionally grab the sleeves from one level higher for
those patches. Most of this stuff never
sells in housing and I personally sell everything back except the MPs
Weapon Crafting
Cost to LGM: 20-22 Plat
IMHO dirk, dagger, stiletto
are the way to go. Save your 99 and MPs
all the way up and put on merchs.
Fletching
Cost to LGM : 18 Plat
000-200 1g
201-300 2g
301-400 6g
401-500 37g
501-600 1.2p
601-700 3.6p
701-800 6.3p
801-900 10.5p
901-1000 18p
IMHO use arrows as far as you
can. Remember the bodkin ones that
utilize metal will help you skill up in the MW sub skill. After that I found the exceptional short bows
and others that utilize 22/7 tend to be the cheapest to use and skill up
on. I neglected skilling up the LW sub
skill till LGM as I rarely had orders for instruments and/or staves with ToA
now out.
Spell Crafting
Cost to LGM: 15 Plat
000-100: 1g
101-200: 7g
201-300: 33g
301-400: 130g
401-500: 600g
501-600: 1.6p
601-700: 3.6p
701-800: 6.3p
801-900: 10p
901-1000: 15p
IMHO beyond skill 1001 there is NO benefit to skilling up beyond bragging
rights atm. Rumors abound about when/how
to skill up using oj or yellows. I concur with most that using items 7 pts
above your skill till 3-5 pts below your skill lvl is best.
Alchemy
Cost to LGM: 25 Plat (1075)
This is widely debated and varied. IMHO I believe that this cost is based on
selling back to NPC all you create while skilling up as well as not using any
crafting tools. Utililizing the skill up
crafting tools as well as researching the alch items that are in demand in your
housing market search engine and having a house with NPC merchant and
approximately 2-3 months to have your cash “invested” into finished goods will
yield a true cost of around 8-10 plat.
Create dye pots as often as
you can skill up on them into the deep blues from reds
Create strong endur pots or
power pots, water breathing pots, ablatives, DoT weapon tincts, DoT armor
tincts, popular dye/enamel colors and TONZ of hardening charges (you will
utilize these up eventually in RvR) and/or can sell them.

FAQ
http://www.camelotherald.com/more/1309.shtml
Q: Last week, this was in the
bag: "Q: I have a question about the trade skill tools. There is one that
says it has a bonus on minimum crafting quality of 1%. Does this mean that if I
craft a 99% weapon while I have equipped this quality tool I would get a MP
instead? Or is its purpose only to get 95% quality as a minimum instead of
94%?"
And the answer was "A: From the Item and Trade skill Princess: " The
minimum crafting quality bonus raises your quality floor, so as long as you
have this item equipped, you should get a minimum of 95% quality on items you
make."
As they say at news conferences, "Ma'am, I have a follow-up
question". Is it accurate to say that when I have the quality bonus item
equipped, I have a 2% chance for an MP and a 19.6% chance for each of 95, 96,
97, 98 and 99? If that's not accurate, what are the right numbers?
A: Good question. Here again is our Princess: "That's correct. Using the minimum
crafting quality bonus leaves your chance at a masterpiece exactly as it has
always been - 2%. It wouldn't be very helpful if having a +1 minimum quality
bonus eliminated your 94% quality products, only to leave you with twice as
many 95% quality
products.
So, the remaining 98% chance is divided evenly between the five other possible
quality outcomes (95, 96, 97, 98, and 99%)."
Q: What does each one of these tools do?
A: Faster => This takes a very small amount of time
off crafting some item. The tool is used up too quickly to make it worth
picking, because you will feel like you wasted 20 min of your life.
Smarter =>This too only uses a charge when your
skill increases. By far the best tool out there in my
opinion.
Better =>This tool makes it so that the lowest
quality that you can make is 95. Many people use these for legendary weapons.
This does make it slightly more likely to make MP items only insofar as the
items that would have been 94 is now spread out evenly amongst the
95,96,97,98,99, and MP.
Q: What is the difference between the 500/600 skill tools?
A: I do not know for the Faster tool because I have
never gotten it.
Smarter 500 10charges +5% chance of skill increase
Smarter 600 13charges +6% chance of skill increase
Better 500 5charges
Better 600 6charges
Q: How do I get this quest?
A: You HAVE to talk to the master of your trade in your capital city to get these quest.
Q: Can you do the quest more then once, and save the tools?
A: Yes. I would suggest doing it multiple times, so when you start crafting you
can do it non-stop for some time. our can store them
in your personal vault, for keeping.
Q: Why can't I use these in the guild vault?
A: You must use then yourself. You cannot trade them, to other players, put
them in guild/house vaults, or sell them on the CM.
Q: Can these items be recharged?
A: These items CANNOT be recharged.
Q: How do I use the Trade Skill tool?
A: Simple equip it(where you would normally hold your weapon) and when it helps
you it uses a charge, this may mean when you make any item with the faster
tool, or just when you go up in skill with the Smarter tool.
Q: What is highest Siege
craft skill and what are benefits?
68 are highest... takes about
10-15 gold to get there... just make the ammo types.
Benefits are faster builds of
siege equipment once it is grey to you.
