The same thing applies to Gobbie stew. You still have to have completed one quest.

Necroing this because you've now totally reversed this position since you just removed it from the Mog Garden vendor so it's now not in the game at all from what I can see .. also gone from the Green Thumb Moogle are the three beds needed to trigger the Mog Safe expansion quests. :(
I just checked all ten Gobbie quests on Siren and right now only FIVE of EIGHT can be completed due to items not available on the AH or, in the case of some items only available in stacks.
AH-based mechanics fail utterly in low-pop servers so removing one of the main ways to bypass this was, IMHO, not player friendly.
They didn't remove it per say: it was part of a campaign. The other alternative is to farm the materials yourself and have the items crafted.
I'm merely noting that in my reading of the English they posted removing it for any reason isn't "increasing the availability", that's all.
It's more that the campaign it's tied to is one of the limited means of availability. My interpretation of official statement is that they will look at making it a staple/regular item using some other means. Perhaps they'll add it to login as a permanent fixture like shanks.
