This is the Tier 6 tradeskill quest for all artisan classes.

Quest Walkthrough

The grandmaster wants you to seek a missing trading liaison who may need help. You'll be doing a lot of crafting in this one, you may find the crafting stations in Maj'Dul at the Golden Scepter more convenient than running to your home town. Portable crafting stations have also been recommended.

Look around The Sinking Sands for the trade liaison. The areas near the beaches are probably a good place to start.

Find Vanesta Leaftraveller very sick in the Sinking Sands at -1157, -212, -273 .

Vanesta gives you Emergency Shelter for Dummies. Take pity on her - scribe it and make her a tent so she can get out of the sun.

The recipe is "Rough Tent" and is made on the Sewing Table with the Binding skill (which is one of those auto-leveling alt-arts). You'll need:

When you've made the a rough tent (it won't actually be in your inventory, but the quest updates), return to poor, violently ill Vanesta.

The poor girl's really miserable, so check the traders and merchants nearby to see if they have a cure for her.

find a shady dervish merchant and purchase Bert's Big Book of Health. Scribe the recipes.

You are now gonna run in circles making recipes one at a time for poor, pathetic Vanesta. WARNING: There is no shortcut, you must create the recipes in the order the quest gives you. All the recipes use the auto-leveling "alt-arts".

Make the antifungal recipe and try it on Vanesta. You'll need:

1 conger eel, 1 rough nacre, 2 soluble loams, 4 lambent candles (fuel) and a chemistry table.

Next try an Energy Drink on her. You'll need:

2 Maj'dul coffee beans, 1 liquid (such as aerated mineral water), 1 lambent kindling (fuel) and a stove.

Now make the Plague Remedy for her. You'll need:

1 succulent root, 4 rough nacres, 4 beryllium clusters, 6 lambent incense (fuel) and an engraved desk.

As a last resort, try the acupuncture kit. You'll need:

5 indium clusters, 3 stonehide leather pelts, 2 severed sandalwoods, 6 lambent coals, and a forge.

You've learned your lesson, go tell the Grandmaster about it.

Don't forget to bring around 5 Gold to purchase Bert's Big Book of Health, from the Shady Merchant. If you have all your materials & portable crafting tables it bites to have to make a trip back to the bank just for the money to purchase the Book of Health.

Very nice walkthrough for this quest. I'd also recommend for crafters to make / buy portable crafting stations before heading to SS, as it saves a lot of running.
