got mine last night. Very expensive quest, you sure feel like you earned something when its over.
longflight javelins is expensive- i did the smithing myself, was only 57 smithing when it was over... the HQ steel ore from vendor cost 57p ea? you need 9 if you dont fail.. plus 10p ea carbon x 9... gnomish heat sources aint cheap either. make a few extra steel bricks and make your laminator blade.
the geerlok laminating device is the kicker. figuring how long it was taking to get fletching to 200, i wasnt about to get my gnome to 200 tinkering just to make this myself. found an expert tinker, comissioned the job, helped gather supplies. he was nice and sold me the device for 2k.
all in all this quest probably cost me 5k. a perfect match to the platinum pieces ive been shooting with my bow.

Event Coordinator Baublie Diggs may be found in the newbie area at +600, +135.
You say, 'Hail, Event Coordinator Baublie Diggs' Event Coordinator Baublie Diggs says 'Are you interested in taking a [test] of your Tradeskill Ability?' You say, 'What test?' Event Coordinator Baublie Diggs says 'I can give you a test of your tradeskill abilities in any of eleven different tradeskills. I can test you on [alchemy], [baking], [brewing], [fletching], [jewelry] making, [poison] making, [pottery], [smithing], spell [research], [tailoring], or [tinkering].' You say, 'Fletching.' She will assign you a task dependent on your skill. The levels appear to be Beginner (50-99), Apprentice (100-149), Freshman (150-199), Journeyman (200-249), Expert (250-299), Master (300). You have been assigned the task 'Freshman Fletcher Test'. Event Coordinator Baublie Diggs says 'Ok take this list, make the recipes on it, and give them to the Judge for Approval. Be sure to read all of the rules.' Create 4 Rough Hickory Recurve Bow (silk) using tradeskills Create 20 CLASS 1 Wood Point Arrow (small nock) using tradeskills Create 20 CLASS 2 Wood Point Arrow (small nock) using tradeskills Create 3 Carved Elm Recurve Bow (linen) using tradeskills Create 3 Carved Elm Recurve Bow (silk) using tradeskills Create 20 Runic Steel Longflight Javelin using tradeskills Create 2 Desiccated Treant Laminate using tradeskills Create 2 Shaped Ashwood Recurve Bow (silk) using tradeskills Create 10 CLASS 5 Wood Hooked Arrow (small nock) using tradeskills Create 10 CLASS 5 Ceramic Point Arrow (small nock) using tradeskills Deliver 4 Rough Hickory Recurve Bow to Judge Marion Teld`mare Deliver 4 CLASS 1 Wood Point Arrow to Judge Marion Teld`mare Deliver 4 CLASS 2 Wood Point Arrow to Judge Marion Teld`mare Deliver 3 Carved Elm Recurve Bow to Judge Marion Teld`mare Deliver 3 Carved Elm Recurve Bow to Judge Marion Teld`mare Deliver 2 Runic Steel Longflight Javelin to Judge Marion Teld`mare Deliver 1 Desiccated Treant Laminate to Judge Marion Teld`mare Deliver 1 Shaped Ashwood Recurve Bow to Judge Marion Teld`mare Deliver 2 CLASS 5 Wood Hooked Arrow to Judge Marion Teld`mare Deliver 2 CLASS 5 Ceramic Point Arrow to Judge Marion Teld`mare Rules: Make all of the items on this list. You may make them in any order you wish. You may have friends help you with any part but the last step which creates the actual part on the list. This you must do yourself. You may make the items in any order and turn them in to the Judge in any order that you wish. The Judge will keep all items that she is given to defray the costs of the contest. The Judge's decision is final. Upon handing the last one into Judge Marion Teld'Mare you get: Congratulations. You have passed the test. Please give this scorecard to the coordinator. Be sure to have two places available in your inventory because she will give you either one or two items as your prize. You have been given: Freshman Fletcher Scorecard Give the scorecard to Baublie. Event Coordinator Baublie Diggs says 'Congratulations! That was great work. This trophy is brand new and has yet to evolve. First take your trophy in either your left or right hand then take the certificate that I am also giving you and put it in the appropriate tradeskill container and your trophy will evolve to the proper level for the test you have taken.' You receive the Beginner Fletcher Trophy and a Freshman Fletcher Certificate. Equip the trophy in your PRIMARY slot, then combine the certificate by itself in a fletching kit and your trophy will evolve to an Freshman Fletcher Trophy. The trophies are evolving items that also evolve as you craft recipes within a certain non-trivial range (reportedly 100) above your current skill level. Once you pass into the next skill level bracket, the trophy should evolve soon afterward. The trophies can also summon weight-reducing bags like the older trophies. When you take these bags to Jolum in the Bazaar, you get an Essence, and can combine the Essence in a fletching kit to get a permanent weight-reducing bag specific to fletching. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The hardest combines are the two "Desiccated Treant Laminate" (140 triv); you need a "Laminator Blade" (smithing, 102 triv; several store-bought ingredients), two "Dry Treant Branch" (dropped by lvl 50+ mobs except for the "a protector of the windwillow" in Goru`Kar Mesa who is lvl 36-40) and a "Geerlok Laminating Device" (tinkering, 215 triv) that can be bought in Bazaar 3k++ pp, if you are lucky... Laminator Blade and Geerlok Laminating Device are returned on success or failure.
Note: Instead of the "Dry Treant Branch", you can use a Fallen Dry Treant Branch (ground spawn in Ruins of Takish-Hiz and The Elddar Forest), see recipe on EQ Traders...
