Yeah, that's why I said "something akin to expert crafting"; I meant it in terms of the Ishgardian high-tier "expect crafts", not just in abstract. (I recognize the term's a little generic, alas, so that was probably not clear.)

However, it is actually possible to macro the expert crafts for the Restoration, believe it or not; you won't get to the top tier consistently, but you'll get enough to be able to turn them in. So I think anything for an actual crafting mentor "trial" or certification test would need to actually be a bit harder/more randomized, so that it couldn't just be boiled down and macroed in a consistently-workable manner.
