So, if you're not friends with any crafters that will help you out, and you don't fancy paying unreasonable tips for pressing a button* after you spent so much on the ingredients, its actually possible to emulate the weekly crafting order quest and get your alts to make these crafts for free, but it takes a bit of juggling.
1 put both characters in roughly the same place, the crafting benches is a good spot, although if you have a slow computer a quiet area might be better. You might also consider posting the crafting order(s) at this point too.
2 create a group in the finder tool
3 log on your alt and request to join
4 log back on the character with the legendary and invite them
5 log back onto the alt and accept
Now the tricky part. You need to log back onto your legendary holder, without the alt disappearing, and you do that by making the server unsure if you've dc or just lagged.
6 So instead of logging off, start a second copy of the game and log into the other character as quickly as possible. You should log in to see your alt still standing there.
7 Target the alt and cast the notes. it takes a few seconds to 'teach' them and then starts a 30 minute cooldown on the item while they get a matching buff that lets them craft the item.
8 Log back onto the alt (you can probably do it the normal way) and access the crafting orders. Find yours and complete it.
9. Switch back again, and your quest item will be in the mail.

The notes remain in your inventory and can be used again until you hand in. The crafter retains the ability to craft the recipe for the 30 minutes of the buff, which doesn't decay while offline.

*I don't resent tips for crafts in general, it takes a time investment to be able to press the button on most good stuff, but this craft only requires level 1 and the crafter even gets a KP and up to +6 skillpoints if they aren't capped.

Description

To craft something workable, we'll need a substantial amount of Zaralek Glowspores and some leather. Here are my notes on the Symbiotic Glowspore Grip. Sharing this with a friendly leatherworker should give them enough info to complete a Crafting Order for you.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Handling It: Shadowed DreamleafLevel 70

    When Fyr'alath's power is at its limit, you will need a grip that can cool itself. It is like standing your ground when a beast charges you: as the battle heats up, you need a way to stay focused.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To the Test: Symbiotic Glowspore GripLevel 70

    You will have to trust me. We need to activate the reagents embedded in the grip. Wrapping the grip around Fyr'alath's haft should work, as long as you can survive the onslaught that follows. You're going to need to make adjustments as you go, and you won't get it the first time.

The storyline at a glance

Symbiotic Glowspore Grip has 5 steps, from Handling It: Symbiotic Glowspore Grip to Adaptive Cooling Salve.
