Reaper's March - Fighter's guild quest (blue item exploit)

[joiyah]

So I was doing the fighter's guild quest "Will of the Council" and at some point I failed at something and had to abandon the quest and re-take it. This is when I realized this would be a good exploit in farming crafting materials.

-Firstly this quest sends you through a portal to a blacksmithing area where Merric builds you a weapon of your choice.
-This item is (with your choice) either a longsword, bow, staff or a greatsword. It's quality will be blue and will be a level 40 item.
-Choose your weapon
-Wait for merric to craft it
-Pick it up
-Abandon the quest
-Repeat the process
-Profit!

Not quite sure if I explained good enough, if you have any questions feel free to ask.
The process doesn't seem very efficient but hey it's an exploit!

edit: just realized when you abandon, the item disappears so all you have to do is when you pick the item up, teleport to town and deconstruct the item there, and then abandon the quest.

Which level is this quest?

[joiyah]

In the journal it says 43 but i've done it at 38

if i remember correctly its a follow-up quest from the previous zone "Malabal Tor"

Fixed. You will lose your weapon and the smith won't build a new one. Will test now with you idea of deconstruct first.

So it's patched?

He never actually confirmed it. He simply said he thought of a possible exploit.

Ah okay. Nice idea, but for me it didn't work.

Could not make it to work. i guess it is fixed indeed.

I managed to get this to work. I had him make my item, exited the quest and went to bank. Once in bank, I deposited my item, then abandoned quest. I acquired the quest again, got another of the same item, went to bank, etc etc and it stayed. I tried it while having the item in my inventory, but the game deletes it if you abandon it while you have it on you. So long story short:
Do quest
Get item
Exit quest
Deposit item in bank, then abandon quest
Rinse
Repeat

[joiyah]

the process is way too slow to be efficient tbh but thanks for the feedback

[Sylph027]

Has anyone tried mailing the item rather than banking? I havent gotten to the quest to test it myself, but if the item isnt bound... should be much faster than running to a bank.

[joiyah]

if im not mistaken it is bound
