Unfortunately, if you start work orders before picking up this quest, you will have to wait until they all finish before you can place a work order. I made the mistake of placing the maximum amount of work orders (I think it was 4) before I picked up this quest, and each time I have collected a work order, the screen to place work orders won't let me place any more, and says there is still a 2 hour wait until the next work order is completed.
It would be nice if Blizz would make it so we can not place any work orders until this quest is finished.

I made this error as well for this one. I didn't repeat that error for Lumber - but I'm still waiting for Alchemy to finish so that I can finish the quest.
This quest can only be picked up once the building is at rank 1.
If you, like me, upgraded it to rank 2 before you did this quest, you unfortunatly need to tear it apart and rebuild it to a rank 1. It will appear.
That is every comment on this page.
