Just wondering how many people actually do the tradeskill tasks (not the gathering but the make 10 shaped items stuff).
I did 1 ironforge exchange tasks basically to just get it out of my journal. As a provisioner every one of them seems to want the most expensive items for it. I am lvl 38 ATM and after waiting about 2 weeks randomly requesting more I finnally settled on one to make 10 apple milks. This so far as been the easiest one I have gotten. It requires 10 wild apples (priced at about 50 silver each+ on broker), and 10 rolled oat (which is also priced at around 50 silver usually). OF course I know I can simply harvest it myself, but this takes forever since there is so many various items to get from brush.
Anyways I get the stuff, some from guild members others harvested myself. After spending about 45 minutes refining the oat, making wild apple juice, etc etc I finish the task.
The reward was 1 gold 5 silver and so little status I couldn't even see the blue move on the guild bar. I could have gotten more then this out of selling 2 of the items, and i would have gotten alot more tradeskill exp cause I could have made them pristine instead of shaped quality. I really think they ***** the provisoners on these tasks for the simple fact it is hard to get the components. I mean I probably spend over 20 silver just in fuel to make this stuff, and if I had actually tried to buy from the merchant it would have cost me around 10 gold! I think they could either cut provisoners some slack and actually give us easier tasks, or pay us more since its harder to get the stuff.
Anyways anybody else actually do these things? I heard along time ago they actually paid pretty good but SOE nerfed it.
