Notes

• This quest and the series leading up to it are colloquially referred to as "Tradeskill or Crafting Epic 2.0". It has several prerequisites including the first Epic (listed below) and this final quest takes much longer to complete than the average quest series.
• You will need 500 gathering to gather the Arcanna'se precious metal
  • Note:Equipment and tools count towards the 500, that means you can do it with 475 Gathering skill +25 from the pudding earring.
  • You can use the node for the metal and just click the node over and over for the skill ups if needed.
• You need to have completed The Proof of the Pudding for Researcher Thelzik Ku'Rok to speak with you in Bathezid's Watch
