I started the level 11 quest for amateur advancement and i have a question. The quest requires one to make a couple things then he will allow you acess to amateur recipes i guess. I have learned all the recipes i can which was to level 8 in Lomshir. The quest needs a slate block. I have basalt block recipe but where do i get a slate block recipe? Also the barbed board, I can make a weakened board but how do i make a barbed weakend board without the recipe? I must be missing something somewhere any assistance will be grateful..Also any guides that has to do with mineralogist would be nice i think i am a slow at grasping some of this hehe.
