Scrindite's mechanoinstruction manual

[tuis]

I used to have a Holepoker for sale for an obscene amount of plat - but the rollback ate it and I failed on the combine to make it again.

Going to try one more time once Delgnome hits 300 and trophy hits lvl 6.

Question for Clarification

Is the holepoker the only thing that is of any value to a melee? I mean is each of the following usable by a melee or no?

'Ambleshift's anfractuous album'
'poxysmit's precipitous parts'
'Epicthieck's Edification Edition'

I know the 'scrindite's senescent scribbles' makes the holepoker, but what about the remaining items that are a result of this quest?

None of it is really of any value to a "melee", as the holepoker is really only useful to a researcher making the instructions that you'd stick in your AAAA with the other items.

The other tasks are only useful to get the recipes on how to make an AAAA. Since the first people who finished thoses tasks posted the recipes here, there isn't any reason for anyone to do any of the tasks now besides the one for the scribbles.

Eee

Please anyone!
I read carefull all your posts, but unfortunately couldn't find what actually at the end of this Belfast quest?

Thank you.

The Holepoker is a tradeskill container with 4 slots. It is used by researchers only to make the mechanoinstructions.

These mechanoinstructions are tradeable (I sell plenty of them in the bazaar) and are used to make the bazu augs (and lastblood augs, etc.).

The holepoker is permanent, it does not poof. The one that poofs is the AAAA when you make the final (no-fail) combine for the augment.

I bought my holepoker for 250k. Since then I've been making instructions for myself (I have 1 bazu aug) and guildmates, as well as selling enough in bazaar to get that 250k back and more.

The manual quest needs to be done by researchers only who plan to make these instructions. The book is no-drop, and it is used each time as part of the combine ingredients (you get it back each time).

So, to make the bazu/LB augs, you need mechanoinstructions.

To get mechanoinstructions, you need a researcher who has the Holepoker, and the Manual, along with the other 3 ingredients (all tradeable).

To get the Manual, you do the quest. To get the Holepoker, you find some insane gnome willing to go to the effort of creating one.

It's a lot of work, but frankly I think the whole thing is pretty amazing when you get done and you have an AUGMENT that has better stats that some of my equipment!

There isn't any reward "at the end" after you get all the books. The books are the rewards from these tasks. The only books worth getting are the first one (Scrindite's Mechanoinstruction Manual) if you are a researcher with a Holepoker, and Scrindite's Senescent Scribbles if you are a tinker who wants to make a holepoker.
Neither of those tasks require the rare expensive drops.

Is the quest for the Manual level restricted? In other works, could my level 30 Enchanter Researcher complete the task and get the manual?
