Question re: Weponsmithing & Deconstruct Recipes

[Kerrik]

OK... so i'm a lvl 14 weaponsmith in Tanvu, Kojan and I really want to find my deconstruct recipes. My trainer does not have them, however, the tanvu artificer and outfitter trainers do have them (according to a few people on my server).

So i figure, well... let me try Khal and see if I can get the recipe there.

Of course, I don't have the proper faction for Khal... so I start to grind WO's to try and gain faction with their trade faction. Unfortunately, every time I turn a WO in, I get no faction at all.

Here is what I see when I turn one in.

----
You gain crafting experience!


Work Order Accepted.
You Recieve 105 copper
You have looted 105 Fhaad.
Requisition ended.
-----

Those 2 blank lines are where the faction should be -- they are represented on my screen, but I get no faction update.

I'm wondering one of 2 things:

1) Has any other Kojani blacksmith actually been able to get a deconstruct recipie? (IE: Am I merely bugged somehow)

2) Is there something i'm missing in order to begin grinding faction in Khal? (OR am I also merely bugged)

Thanks in advance

PS: Yes, I have done the amature quest.

Assuming that you've talked with a Blacksmith trainer after completing the amateur quest it sounds more like a bug. After I completed the amateur quest for leatherworking I had to speak with the Outfitter trainer to learn recipes from level 11+ to which deconstruction I think was level 11. I have a friend who's an Orc and has completed the items but can't get back into the Tanvu to drop off the quest as the city is KOS to him and the trainer is in the center of the city.

As for the Khal grinding or any city/continent for that matter you're not given a message after turning in the completed work orders about raising your faction; however, if you use the /showfactions it will tell you what your city artisan as well as continent artisan levels are at.
