Tradeskill Apprentices

Info
The Age of Discovery expansion introduced Tradeskill Apprentices, which are available to all crafters level 10 and above. The tradeskill apprentices assist you by researching recipes that aren't otherwise available.

All players should receive an in-game mail message from "Baron Kaedrin Ironforge", with the subject "Apprentice Training":

"Your efforts in the area of crafting have not gone unnoticed. The Ironforge Exchange would like to offer you the opportunity to mentor one of the Coldain Tradeskill Apprentices that have recently traveled to Qeynos.

These apprentices are looking for experienced crafters to assist them while they research powerful recipes. The daily mentoring you can provide will greatly accelerate their research. We believe the experience will be mutually beneficial, as the apprentices have agreed to grant their mentors access to the recipes they discover.

If you are interested, please seek out a Coldain Tradeskill Apprentice in Qeynos or Freeport."

NPCs
There are three tradeskill apprentices looking for work in both The City of Freeport and North Qeynos, however there are no differences between them other than appearance.

Upon hiring a tradeskill apprentice from Qeynos Capitol District or the City of Freeport, you'll receive two items that you can place in a house: NOTE: By researching recipes tradeskill apprentices level up gradually and receive the same ranks as the spells, i. e. Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, etc. I am not sure though what it depends on - how many times you coach it or how many recipes it has researched. E.g., my tradeskill apprentice became Expert when I was granted "Researching Coach C" achievement and had approximately 36 recipes researched.
 * A tradeskill apprentice contract, which when placed, is the actual apprentice NPC you'll be interacting with
 * Coldain Tradeskill Apprentice Contract
 * Othmir Tradeskill Apprentice Contract
 * Human Tradeskill Apprentice Contract
 * A mannequin, to customize the appearance of the tradeskill apprentice
 * Home Uniform Mannequin

How to Research
You begin by hailing the tradeskill apprentice, and selecting a recipe to begin researching. Once the tradeskill apprentice has begun researching a recipe, you can speed up the process by tutoring him, or completing a quest.

You can speed up the research in 2 ways each day: NOTE: You cannot speed up the research with Overlord Deshniak!
 * 1) The tutoring session is available once every 24 hours. It is performed by hailing the tradeskill apprentice, and offering to show him how to do his work more efficiently.  The fifth and tenth time you tutor your tradeskill apprentice, you will receive an achievement (there are others as well, for example 25).
 * 2) The quest is a daily quest, that resets at 11 PM US Pacific time. It consists of crafting a single item that corresponds with your tradeskill "tier".  Upon completing the quest, the research time will be speed up slightly, and you will receive a reward, ranging from a small stack of common materials, to one of the new reactant materials, which are the rare material used in the recipes.
