I used to make up a few of the aprons, baskets, etc for my tradeskill apprentice in advance so I didn't have to go off and craft one item then go back and turn it in. Now it seems it won't accept my items from my bag. I brute-forced my way through a few pages on this forum and didn't see anything about it ( searching "tradeskill apprentice quest" is useless...) so apologies if this has been asked and answered a hundred times...
This change happened a couple years back, which is likely why you couldn't find anything recent about it.
I guess you dinged lvl 100+. The last Tier of TS Daily doesn't use pre-crafted items. Been that way since whichever Xpack gave us that Tier (lower Tiers might still auto-update tho)
I know it wasn't a couple of years ago across the board because I was doing it a few days ago and suddenly I couldn't, but I did just hit 100 with the first toon! Thanks guys for the info.
