Crafting Quests with Sierra (The Legendary Ordeal)

Quest: "Drum a Little Drum" (reward: Legendary Artisan badge)

Welp, this is what you were waiting for, folks - the last quest I had to take to get the power to craft magic itself. Namely Lore spells which you can get as a very rare drop from the Loremaster. But since you don't control what spell you get, it's easier to craft them. However, you first have to help Koyate Ghostmane, which means you won't be able to get his crafting quest until you actually reach Zafaria - you could cheese your way to Pierce and the other crafters, but not this one. He won't give you the quest until he moves to Baobab Market, which requires a main quest. :(

(KingsIsle isn't gonna give you this one.)

He is nice enough to give you the recipe you need - you need to craft two Spirit Caller drums. Easy, right? I have the stuff... WRONG.

One of the ingredients is a crafted item, the Conga Drum. You buy this from Gearwise in the Base Camp, and it's got a huge shopping list.

For the Spirit Caller Drums, you need four Conga Drums and:

• 8 Legion Shield treasure cards
• 4 Perfect Onyx
• 4 Pristine Vials
• 18 Sunstones (I was lucky I got a deal on those even if it blew my wallet!)
• 28 Black Pearls
• 16 Golden Pearls
• and 26 Aether

For the Conga Drums, you need a total of:

• 8 Giant treasure cards
• 4 Amethyst
• 4 Crystal Vials
• 32 Aether
• 24 Shells
• 64 Fossils
• and 16 Scales

Needless to say, that is a lot of stuff and most of it is rare. With the money I blew, I wasn't getting any bazaar farms anytime soon.

Luckily, I had friends to store their junk and transmutes - all the Kelp, Black Lotuses, and other stuff I had lying about went to making the required stuff.

 

I saved myself the pain of using a crafting elixir by creating the first two Conga Drums and then using them to create the first Spirit Caller Drum then just spending the 12 hour cool-down for everything gathering the items for the other drums.

And there we have it, I'm a Legendary Crafter now! ^_^

What, Azteca? Well, I'm sure it'll be a world we go to later. For now, I'm happy just being able to craft magic itself. Keeper of the Flame, you are MINE!:D
