 GU119 Crafting & Housing Goodness
GU119, the semiannual Game Update (GU) for Spring 2022 hits servers with the patch on April 12, 2022. In addition to the solo, heroic and raid content in the GU, there is tradeskill content and house item content that will be outlined below. Much of the tradeskill content focused on quality-of-life this time around instead of focusing only on maximum level content. Two New Tradeskill QuestsThere is a crafting method of obtaining advanced recipe books up to level 39, and then for the advanced recipe books in the 70s, 80s and 90s. With this GU, quest series are being added to unlock the ability to buy the advanced level 40-49 books and the advanced level 50-59 books. (The level 60-69 books have not been forgotten, but were not included in this GU.) Jadrek Woolfe, on the shores of Everfrost, needs help because his only living relative is bringing "new family" to meet him, endangering his plans for his inheritance. Help him out with a four-quest series in order to unlock the ability to purchase level 40-49 advanced recipe books. He also gives you "Eustace", a new tradeskill familiar.
Ewart Nefird, Water Finder, is tasked with helping desert denizens in the Sinking Sands and Pillars of Flame access drinking water. This nomad can be found near the resurrection tent by the Twin Tears carpet stop and has a five-quest series to unlock the ability to purchase level 50-59 advanced recipe books. Additionally, he will grant you an all-class level 50 recipe book containing the following items:
Are they not glorious? Gnobrin made them for us! (How) Does Your Garden Grow?While we don't want to trivialize past content, some things are more laborious to complete than others. Surrendering your gathering goblin and obtaining your Obulus Frontier Garden, for example, reqiures about 50 quests from three different expansions, just to get the starter quest for the Growf line. That's very off-putting for many, especially new and returning players, considering that much of that content is from expansions where the level stayed the same and thus tends to get skipped when many people are leveling to max crafting level. With this GU those who completed the Were is the Messenger tradeskill series from Vetrovia will now be able to find and quest with Growf in his garden in the Obulus Frontier to earn their Obulus Frontier Garden. You will still need to speak goblish (from goblin territory markers) in order to pick up this quest. You should also note that characters that are low-level adventurers will not want to take this quest unlock route as the goblins in the area will still be KoS due to skipping the rest of the Kunark Ascending crafting series. So, if you're squishy, you may want to take the longer questing path to obtain your garden. Obsessed with Gathering?There has been a cosmetic change to the Gathering Obsession, Part III through Part V quest. The quest itself hasn't changed at all, but the display order in the journal now lists all the resources needed for a specific zone together, instead of listing the same resources together. Yeah, I tried rewording this a few times and it still won't make much sense to some people, so below is an example:
Hopefully having all the items from the same zone together in the journal will make it easier for everyone to figure out what they still need from each zone! Red Shinies In VetroviaThis is the one piece of current expansion content for tradeskill goodness in this GU and while you will not need to have completed the quest for the Earring of the Solstice in order to seee the shiny spawns, you will need to have completed certain parts of the Were is the Messenger tradeskill series. While anyone can add the shinies to their collection, only those who have completed the following will be able to see and harvest the red "?" in each zone:
*=player will have to choose red, yellow or blue, and will receive 3 of the symbols. Symbols place partly into the ground, but are easy to manipulate. From the Adventuring SideThere are house items from the adventuring side of things as well, and all will require the Visions of Vetrovia signature line as well as four new quests from Vikana in Forlorn Gist if you want to obtain these items directly. (They are tradeable, so the broker is the other option if you don't have high level friends to get these items for you.) Adventuring Quest RewardsThese items are given during the Vikana series of adventuring quest, in addition to any adventuring-type rewards.
*=There are five potential random rewards for "Cut-Throat Competition", which is thankfully a repeatable quest. Adventuring VendorOnce an adventurer completes Vikana's four adventuring quests, they gain access to merchant Rodya and her wares.
