I just spent a couple of hours on the SoE board looking for answers to the recently discovered tradeskill problems post 1-26 patch. It's remarkably difficult to find ANYTHING there (and one could wish Sony would borrow the skills of our friends here at EQtraders in how to effectively organize a board! 
).
I found the high end fishing problem (lack of cobalt cod and other "named" fish on tables for those with high fishing skill) mentioned in the The Newbie Zone off the Nexus forum several pages back, and in the much harder to find Veteran's Lounge in the Wayfarer's Rest forum. Only in TNZ was a response found stating this had been passed on to the devs and "would be fixed" but no time frame was stated.
The problem with the Reinforced Jeweler's Kit (and some other tradeskill containers for some players) was also listed in these forums, but in neither case was there a response I could see from any SoE representative.
I deliberately checked the kit myself in game on Lanys and sent in a bug report, just to insure they get enough feedback from players that this is broken. It might not hurt if any of you here experiencing either of these problems do so as well, and continue to do so until they are fixed. Both are rather important to us as far as being able to function well as tradeskillers.
I know the SoE developers work very hard at what must seem at times to be an impossible job. Some of them are absolutely wonderful not only in their responses and response time, but also in the way they deal with issues and make us all feel as if we're special or at least not forgotten. Others aren't quite that adept, tending to make us feel as if we play in a vacuum.
Always remember - especially when the bugs make you angry - what a marvellous thing it is, that we can play this game of EQ together online, and what a truly wonderful achievement it is to turn all those numbers and letters on machines into such a rich and enchanting world. I know I forget that sometimes myself when I get frustrated not being able to do things because they are temporarily broken.
