Quest text alteration

It's only a minor bug, but with the artisan saga: suspicious conclusions 7544 it doesn't actually mention that you have to craft the energy capture device and since other quests bt that quest giver don't involve actual crafting, it's not obvious that this one does. Maybe altering the quest text to tell you to craft it yourself?

Vanguard was a game that was notorious for not holding your hand. This is one of those cases. The hint here is in the quest text:
He frowns. "I have a thought. I may have a way to sample the magical energy around them. I'll need your help to finish this project though. An artisan's touch is required."
And since it's a crafting quest, in general, the first thing you should do is check your special recipes to see if anything was added.

I wouldn't consider changing a quest or the text unless a significant number of players are confused. For example, the quest to kill Matu-Makas in Khal was confusing in Live and is still confusing now, and I've thought about changing it.

Fair comment, I found my way after a bit brain scouring so am not overly bothered, was just thinking of other players more used to the 'hand holding' other games do as standard now.
