Lv4 trial quests

Looked about 4 pages back on this board and didn't see anything about this, so here goes.

I'm Lv50 and looking into the lv4 manufacturing skills. Of particular importance is Blacksmithing, since I have a wep mold I'd like to make which requires Lv4 Blacksmithing. So I check in with the Blacksmith and am asked to make a couple of two-star weapons. I suspect the Tailor and Craftsman skill books are just as hard to come by (I already did the Apothecary one).

So question #1 is: Can I turn in weapons (and armor/ornaments later) that I don't make myself? Or do they have to bear my "signature?"

Question #2 is: How money-intensive is this? I'm thinking of buying a few gold pieces and investing in a couple stacks of the unmineable lv2 mats. Anybody have better solutions? (I've looked in the AH at the weapons I need, but they're ridiculously expensive there, at least when I looked)

    Apparently, you can turn in equipment that you did not create yourself. I'm currently aiming for level 4 tailoring - I have to create/find a 2* Wraith Robe, Glowing Cuisse, and Stoneblood Bands. One time, I put a 2* wraith robe in my inventory - not made by me - and on my quest tracker, the wraith robe was marked green and acceptable.

    As for the cost of getting a level 4 skill, it varies. Depends mostly on your luck, but it is very expensive. My friend spent more than 2 mil trying for level 4 blacksmith. I'd rather just look through shops or auction and buy the armor/weapons/etc. instead of crafting it myself.

    I'll check the AH again, I suppose. -_-

    Can anyone else confirm that weps made by other people / weps that bear no manufacturing signature are valid?

    Yes, as long as it is a 2* weapon it will be accepted. Made by you, or bought from other players doesn't matter.

    I noticed something when I was at one of the quest elders, I hit train by accident...
    and the level 4 skill I have quests for, were highlighted able to trained. Unknowing how hard this quest is, I did not confirm the box to train, think now maybe I will look into it and try to save a headache.

    Doesn't work. I saw the same thing and it just said "unable to learn," etc. :P

    I made the 2-star Ornamented Bow today. Uggggh. Here's another question, has anyone tried this with THREE star weapons? Or is it ONLY two-star that's acceptable? I'm guessing only 2, because judging by the prices in the auction house (600-900k for a 2-star, 100-200k for a 3-star), 2-stars are much more valuable for these 3 weps.

    Either way... I don't think I'm gonna get lv4 of anything else (except apothecary) for a looooong time. Maybe I'll make another alt and have each of my characters specialize in a different craft... :P

    you have to have the exact items that the quest asks for. I made 8 sets of glowing curriasses before I got the 2 star ones (if you make them and don't need them I sold a pair for 700K in AH).

    I completely gave up on the Blacksmith lvl 4 trial quest when I realized that the 2* weps are very hard to make and buying them from auction is unreasonably expensive. The only way I will ever finish this quest is if I slowly find the EQ in cat shops.

    I've been relying on trusted friends to craft my TT weps and my level 70 armor since I am unable to make weapons above level 40 and as for tailor skills i haven't even touched it yet...>_>

    Not sure if I was just lucky, or if its easier for the craftman, but I got my 3 2* items for Craftmen lvl4 this morning in.... 5 total crafting (only 2 were 1*). I also heard someone else got them pretty easy. It can't be THAT bad.

    An Idea that works for me- I bet most of you have several characters. If not - make few. Once you'r lower level char is getting over LV20 he'll be farming the very materials your higher char. is aching for. I takes time but is relatively cheaper than spending millions for tries in vain.
    I gave up LV4 smithing but once my other char is reached LV21 i started to get the needed mats again and thought - hey, it can be done after all :)
    Right now one of my chars is LV4 smith with relatively reasonable amount of effort and thanks to farming of lower level character.

    Go to any tailor in Archosaur, click on manufacture, and Wraith Robe is actually under Arcane Chest, not 'ROBE' though the name is Robe... lol.

    I talked to Duke to find out lucky tailor before crafting, and took me just 1 time each to get all 3 armors needed for the quest.

    Good luck to you, and don't necro/bump old threads. b:victory
