Vintage Jester's Cap Conumdrum

[Laughlyn]

There's been alot of Confusion / Speculation (incl. Fake "Facts") about this cap on
how to get it and how to craft it.

I've been searching since late 2010, until Feb 2011 when i finally obtained it
from a r40 faction leve called: Wanted: Toadsquatter Femomo.

The Vintage jester's Cap have also been found as a reward in: Diamonds in the Rough leve.

And yet... people are still saying it's in "Fact" crafted from "Molder Jester's Cap".

Now... i already know one way to obtain it (as i wrote abit above via the r40 leves)
But some people still claim it can be crafted (but there's no recipe for it yet)
in that case how is this a fact that it "Can Be" crafted if there's no or ever was a recipe for it?

There's also been posts about people seeing some "Vintage Jester Caps +2" around.

- Note: CLick comments tab to view people's so called "Facts".... (imo are mostly BS)

Now i'd like an official response to these so called "Facts".

Is it crafted by using the "Moldering Jester's Cap" or not?
Or is it only obtainable through random r40 faction leves?
