You hand in your old trophy to the quest giver and she credits you for making one. No need to make another.

I imagine this only applies to trophy, and not the other items? ('cause if we could do it for the other items, then people wouldn't have to make it themselves)

[Snibbly]

That's correct, at least from what we've heard from Ngreth (and I'm willing to trust what he says, hehe).

Really??

DOH!!!!

Ah well glad someone told me before I made any of the other trophies. Losing out once isn't too hard a price for learning.

or

Folks could actually read the task instructions where it clearly spells out the rules... which on the Expert and Master tasks... includes instructions about showing your existing trophy

You mean we were expected to READ something??? /boggle

I think most people could play just as well with their chat window closed.

In all seriousness, I applaud your efforts to spell everything out within the task. Seemed perfectly clear to me. /shrug

[Xislaben]

Only 8%

Wonder how many combines at what trivs it would take to evolve that to the next level...

[Snibbly]

Just curious Ngreth... since the DoN cultural armor has the increased chance to skillup logic, if you have this trophy equipped when doing those, does the trophy get increased experience from those combines?

[Girraff]

My skill is at 296. I've got several severed ferran tentacles saved up, and could do the master test with ease. Would it be in my best interest to wait and get my last 4 skill ups before doing the trophy? Or would the trophy level up once i get 300 skill?

"Create 1 Collapsed Distillery using tradeskills" for the journeyman too.

I'm so glad boot gaskets are a common item these days. This quest is almost as much fun as sitting LFG in Guild Hall.

Maybe there's a boot gasket in the Guild Bank....

[Ngreth Thergn]

It does not get bonus exp from items with bonus skillup.

[Lixivia]

what makes me the saddest is all those ice cream churners and distillarys going to (basically) waste... =(

[gnomus]

took me about 4 - 6 hours to get 9 severed feran tentacles (glad i got 9...my tailore failed one combine..but he salvaged the tentacle). it's not *that* rare. i didn't keep track of time, really..but 4-6 hours seems about right.

No you don't. You can simply turn in a Raw Dark Matter and get two Dark Matter back. You only have to do the annoying quests if you want the skill to do the refining yourself. You can always have the gnomes in Abysmal do it for you, you will just always get a 1=2 yield, whereas if you do the quest, then about a million refines (okay, 300 or so, but it will feel like a million) you can eventually get a 1=3 yield.
