The Proof of the Pudding

Level 80SignatureSoloTradeskill

Walkthrough

Steps

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'.
  It is worth noting, that 'inventory' in this case includes ALL shared and personal storage available to a single character. At the initial moment of quest acceptance, while still in Rivervale, any quest items in inventory, personal bank, shared bank, or house vault WILL be eligible for immediate consumption to satisfy the quest requirements. This is a one-time check upon receipt of the quest while in Rivervale. After the initial check, any additional items not recognized/consumed by the quest will need to be placed into main inventory to be 'consumed' for the quest updates. Whether this initial broad-sweep for items is intended by the devs or not, it can be considered 'unusual' behavior by the system, and thus worth at least a mention - especially if you plan on having multiple alts complete the quest. The shared bank will not be sufficient to control/limit which alts receive which quest items. It will be First-come-first-serve from the various storages as each alt acquires the quest in Rivervale. If you wish to limit which alts receive which items, it will be best to wait until all the intended recipients have acquired the quest before moving duplicate quest items from the original crafting character into any shared storage. For many, this is will actually be a helpful convenience (just place everything for ALL alts into the shared bank, once and done), but for some situations it will become an annoyance that is worth noting and being made aware of, just in case.
Once you have all the items, return to Neeta Cabbageleaf to complete the quest.
