As I was going through the level 53 and 55 goldsmith quests today, I noticed something out of the ordinary...
While all the other crafters need to provide HQ items (at least as far as I can recall), these two quests allow you to go with NQ items.
Which suddenly makes the quests a lot easier.

For the mogpoms needed for the potion needed to make the level 53 quest item, I think it's odd that it would require a goblin jig (level 58), when the fishing hole is level 54, and there is no other fish there...
I know the popular sites list goblin jig as required, but I can't find out if anyone actually tried all other baits...
