  • With no in game leads leads or direction......think im about ready to say F it to this quest. Ive done the math on how many random combines we would have to do to try just the pop recipies that are currently known, and its sickening to say the least.(in the many millions after you weed out all the absurd combinations...)

    This quest is starting to remind me of the old fiery avenger quest(not the current quest that does work). Yes im a paladin and never have gotten over the crap we put up on that one...

    SOE: 'its complete, in the game, and working, HONEST!'

    BS i say.....

      Then you have to multiply in the 'what makes a platter' combines across pottery, smithing and tinkering. Then add in the possibility of new stuff being used, maybe crab meat etc. Then you have to....

      /cry

      And all for a recipe that'll be completed once then posted so no-one else has to go through such pointlessness. The quest was great up until this point, but without some direction, we're left floundering and feeling very disillusioned.

      • maybe never solved

        There is a big risk that this quest will never be solved. There are already several better choises for earrings in game, if we assume the 7th reward would be 125ish hp/mana.

        I spent an awfull amount of time on Lwena's Secret without gettting anywhere. This baking quest is quite similar. No clues, no hints. I still dont know if that is a quest, or just flawor. I no longer care. Its only fun for a while to hunt for a solution. If there is zero progress, even after several months of hard work, then the fun is gone, and one turns attention to other quests or tasks in game. I hope the SOE devs see this and do something about the situation. If not, I fear the baking quest will never be solved.

          Anyone know who Mheii is or ask Grimel about her?

          • I believe it was mentioned elsewhere in this thread that Mheii is/was a GM, rather than an ingame character.

              • 25,392 now, so nope.
                But ya, I am NO WHERE near even thinking of starting this quest but it was very fun to watch. To see everyone try and get things done, help with my ideas, all that stuff. Maybe SONY that we would get this done a lot faster, look at the Xanthe's Earring of Nature/Protection of the Cabbage Quest, that took Xanthe what, 3 days to figure out?
                Maybe they wanted to give us something that would take us a month to do given how fast we can work together and get stuff done. And now they are stuck with us not having any clue as to where to go and got us all very ticked off. If the recipe is live and in game, working fine, it might be the easiest thing in the world and we are just overlooking it and/or overanalyzing it now. But who knows, many people are no so upset with this quest that if they don't get an earring that is almost double the current stats with an UBER UBER effect they will just put it in there bank and say it's over. And that will be very sad.
                But, as always, this is just my 2cp...

                • Guess i was naive. I sort of veiwed getting 18 AApts, access to elemental planes, and GM in 7 skills to be the work involved on this quest. Never expected verant to make the last piece so stupidly frustrating. How can you even try to work on this, with so little info?

                  • Mheii was one of the least effective GMs our server has ever had. I guess she got moved to questbuilding, or maybe has a special recipie for fruit salad she serves at get-to-gethers.. I just hope she cooks or questbuilds better than she GM'd, for everyone's sake.

                    • yup have tried literally countless combinations using POW stuff will post results when i can, and nothing....absolutely nothing, also had a friend give me supposed SLR infoz that <hope stone> also used in the planar manual quest is also used for as he put it uber unknown T-skill recipes, sadly I have tried to do every single combination i can think of to make something from this stone, I have handed it to every npc in pot in the /hope that it would trigger more information or that at least they would take it being secretly our lost halfling disguised like in the wizard epic.....alas nothing. At this point I am utterly frustrated, I'm sorry, but this is not a quest it is akin to SONY/VI's purposeful gimping of POEb in order to /delay people from screaming at customer service for POTime still not having been finished. I spent no less then 2.5million plat and 100 day's /timeplayed to be able to get the skill to do this quest. VI has never claimed that Time = quality, yet with this much effort put into endless clicking to be given a dead end to a quest to make an earring that lies in my bank soon with the shamefull excuse that it's Bristlebane haha what a trikstur! running the last bit of this quest. I'm sorry, Very angry for the lack of consideration by SONY/VI in creating a quest that only idiots like myself would attempt and then making it virtually impossible to complete.
                      And yes, I have even gone to the extent of trying to combine misty thicket picnics with themselves.......do you see how idiotic this is?

                      THANKS

                      • If anyone ever does solve this (assuming it's not broken) then VI should name the last signet after them like they did for Xanthe.

                          • I thought Gnomish Cleansing Paste (since it has no other use) might be an idea to clean up the Parasite Infected Carapace. Tried it in the forge, brew barrel, jewerly bag, kiln and pottery wheel, but alas no luck.

                              Try it in a toolbox, or possibly a collapsible toolbox.
