do I need DoN to do cultural tailoring?

[Astroshak]

Umm ... I got DoN when it went live ...

Can you get the quest for the Ancestral Armor book, and the 4 tasks for the aug books, if you don't have DoN?

I know you'd be unable to do the GM aug book task without DoN, but is the guy giving out the task to those without DoN?

[Dragoron]

Actually, you can even make the GM armor without having DoN. You only need DoN to do the task required for the GM SYMBOL book.

That is correct. DoN is only needed to make the Grandmaster level armors and symbols. Journeyman's, Expert's, and Master's can all be made without DoN.

stupid question but I cant find the answer -- do I need the DoN expansion to do the DoN cultural tailoring? From what I can see, it appears only the highest level requires acquiring things that are only found/killed in Don.

thanks
