For those wishing to use the Mana of the Sarnak Compressor route:
1. You will not completely get around tradeskilling, as the Mana of the Sarnak Compressor does have a Blacksmithing trivial of 102; however, that is a fairly easy skill level to obtain. I took this route for my boxes.
2. The devs have designed this quest to make you pay one way or the other: either tradeskill or farm (the quest items are tradeable as well). What I mean by that statement is that if you go the Compressor route, you will have to farm enough mats to make 2x Mana of the Sarnak Compressors, 1 Cloudy Brown Liquid, and 1 Mana of the Sarnak.
3. If you're still interested, the method is as follows:
A: Collect the quest pieces until you reach the first "Create a Mana of the Sarnak."
B: Create a Mana of the Sarnak Compressor (Blacksmithing trivial 102)
C: Follow the original recipe to create a Cloudy Brown Liquid using the Compressor as the container
D: Follow the quest from there, collecting the new list of materials that Ingisitorma Varro gives
E: Create another Mana of the Sarnak Compressor
F: Follow the original recipe to create Mana of the Sarnak, using the Compressor as the container
G: Complete the quest with one final hail, and congrats!
