I was out of the game for 2 years and didnt know about the Tradeskill quest (I am 300 skill level ) till i had done many combines and my GM hammer didnt do anything just stayed at 5%. Its the hammer you get from making the artisan seal. So after mentioning how long it was taking to evolve ( witch it never will ) someone mentioned the NPC out front of Freeport. I went there got the quest, was the Masters quest, and turned in my Hammer thinking it would convert to the trophy that evolves ( HAHA jokes on me ) the judge kept my hammer ( ack what do i use now ( Geerlok )). Well I finished the quest got the letter and the beginer trophy. As directed I went to a forge with my trophy in my hand and put the letter in the forge and hit combine. POOF trophy now at 12% or 6/7 on the evolve scale will have to do many more combines it seems to max this out. Hope this helps you folks who have been out of the game and missed the changes. Good luck and Happy Tradeskilling
