Vagueness abounds in this post, so be wary....
The forge now is more than just a vacation stop.
HINTS to help complete the quest:
1. the creature you seek at first is extremely EXTREMELY rare. there were a few to begin with out there, but those are all gone. they will now appear less often than any boss currently in the game, and, even worse, will appear in random spots on the rare occasion they DO come around =D
2. there is a certain amount of a certain thing you will need
3. when you reach the correct amount of this thing you will know
4. this quest is looooong and unless you play way too much, this should take you quite a while
5. although you can begin working on it at level 17 or so, this quest will not be finishable until level 35 really, and that will be with incredible effort and help from friends. to go solo, 40 is more realistic.
6. although all can take part, the end result is Premium Only. the quest itself, up to the final step, can be done by non-Premiums, because people may want to work on the quest while they can't afford premium, but are planning on being premium someday in the future
If none of this makes sense to you, you need to make good use of the grape vine. Most of this should make sense to those out there who know the "most" at this point of time, based on what I have seen.
