Hello everyone,

Below is a quick reference to quests of the Year of Darkpaw Tradeskill Achievements.
Too Make things compact I have listed the last quest in each quest line where possible.
If you aren’t sure if you have already qualified for an achievement, check the completed tab on your quest journal, most will be under the Tradeskill Banner though there are a couple under catalog.

Please Note: Completed Quests won't actually highlight in future achievements until that month.

For anyone planning out the remains of the year. Do take into account that there is currently a 14 day wait before you can complete the Shadow's of the Betrayed quests after finishing Stabilizing the Fields and that for the Gryphon Mount, Dream Weaving Takes 24 Hours and then there are 5 Daily Quests.

Yes, thanks for taking the time to type it all out again, much appreciated! The overview is so useful for me. I have been away from the game for several years up until last year and didn't realize there were quite some fun new TS quests added in, Loping Doors, Water in the Desert? Fun! Thanks also for including the link to EQ2U tradeskill report, this makes it easier to figure out what all I have and have not done yet (like, skipping the last bits some of the higher level TS siglines in my rush to catch up on lvls haha 😇).

It looks like January through March, September if you folks have unlocked Ykesha (I don't remember what you have unlocked now), part of May. You cannot earn the overall achievement until/unless you are on a live server due to the level/zone requirements.

Looking for clarification on one item. On the year of darkpaw: celebration contribution...the 18 hour doubloon reward, does this reset 18 hours after you pick up the quest, 18 hours after you complete the quest, or a set/static/same time 18 hours every day? If it is static, just like we know when the avatar missions reset, can you tell us when this daily resets, please?
This would help greatly in planning out how a player allots their time.

Thanks so much in advance.

The standard 18-hour mission timer is used. Open your journal, select mission timers, search on Darkpaw. It will show you exactly how much time you have left before the current mission timer resets.

My character Andreasjahn completed proof in the pudding in 2019 and isn't showing on the dark paw achievements that he completed it, its not a repeatable quest so how does that work. he has also completed what dreams may come and containing the stone,

If they are showing in your completed quests list, when the month they are associated with comes around they will auto complete the achievement. Completed Quests won't actually highlight in future achievements until that month
