this quest is bugged, seemingly thanks to the vigor system added in DF for the dragonriding.

When starting the quest, instead of the brew needing 4 steps to complete, I had 6 steps. (and currently 2 talented vigour points in DF)

With only 4 ingredients, the brew auto-fails after adding the banannas.

However, I was still able to get it completed. After adding the third ingredient, hearth to the Dragon Isles and get on a dragonriding mount as fast as possible.

After mounting, the brew will complete. (I think it recognizes the full vigor bar as full completion of all 4 -6 steps.)

If you have not talented into the extra dragonriding vigour, you may not have this issue, but this is the only way I was able to complete the quest and get the legion artifact transmog.

Edit: Gave is another shot but this time with 4 ingredients instead... (brew failed) nontheless, I ignored that and home pointed back to Dragon isles >> mounted the proto drake >> the brew automatically comleted and the quest was removed from quest log ... took the teleport from Valdrakkken and the Monkey King had the Golden quest mark to complete the quest and move on to the next
