I've completed the entire Legion Leatherworking chain, but it says I'm missing Hardening the Hide and Getting the Kinks Out. All the quests before and after are completed...how could I completer the quests after with having completed these?

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Naga Know-HowLevel 10-45
The naga of this region wear little armor, but what they do wear is particularly durable. If you wish to make a strong shoulder piece, I would first study the naga's armor and then create a pattern of similar construct. The city nearby is overrun by naga.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Stamped StoriesLevel 10-45
Stamped onto the leather of the tanning racks behind me are the ancient ways of our tribe's leatherworkers. They tell the stories of masters who, through perseverance - and luck, in some cases - pioneered our way of leatherworking. Read the stories and learn from them.
