This quest series is long and involved, but offers a major sense of achievement to most tradeskill-enthusiasts. Completing the series also has some major rewards described in the last section of this timeline. It involves building faction with Bathezid's Watch first, which accounts for most of the time invested in completing it. The whole process is made easier by completing strongly recommended quests too. To distinguish the tasks and writs needed to gain faction and the strongly recommended complimentary quests, the quests that make up the actual Artisan Epic are referred to as core quests.
