Steps

1. Neeta Cabbageleaf needs you to obtain an item made by each of the 9 tradeskill classes, including your own.
   • These are crafted using the recipe obtained in the previous quest.
   • Items are HEIRLOOM, and you must use the Commission System in order to obtain the ones crafted by the other tradeskill classes.
   • The Items do not end up in your bags any more as of an update.
   • See table below to determine which class creates which item, and the rares needed.
   • Note that you can have the items crafted for you before even having this quest. Once you receive the quest it will automatically detect any you already have and update the quest accordingly.
   • Also note: If you want to craft an item from the list with an alt, you can do so (all the crafted items are HEIRLOOM, as of GU 51). Just craft the item and transfer it to the character with the quest; they will receive the update as soon as the item is in their inventory.
2. Once you have all the items, return to Neeta Cabbageleaf to complete the quest.
