Gates noob quests

[xanrath]

I have been working on these and just about done. I have however run into problems on one....tinkering.

Ok, I understand that I'm a high elf and thus tinkering is not my area of expertise. That being said, in the tinkering forum another high elf was able through the use of gnome form do the quest and thus be able to process dark matter. Has somthing changed since then? Is there a difference in the use of enc-cast gnome form vs shamman-potion gnome form?

the quest and it's materials are given to me even in high elf form but even with shamman-potion gnome form when I click the combine button I get nothing, no error message, no loseing the material, no pass, no fail, no nothing.

HELP please.

I don't *know*, but I'm *guessing* that it worked for the enchanter you heard about not because of the gnome illusion, but due to a bug when the new tradeskill UI went live that gave all non-gnomes 250 Tinkering skill.

That's since been fixed. I thought with a tinkering kit, you can generally attempt tinkering combines regardless of race, but that could easily have changed with the bug fix, or simply be different for these "quested recipes".

Are there any plans to change to this to allow gnome-form to tinker or at least do this quest? Or do I have to settle for going to Abysmal every time I get enough dark matter to make it worth while?

I don't know for sure one way or the other, but I would be extremely surprised if there were special provisions made to allow gnome-form to let people do these tinkering recipes. If they wanted it available to non-gnomes they would have made it for a different tradeskill.

Again, I can't be sure, but it seems very unlikely.
