I have done all the mining and manufacturing missions I could find in the game, and received the HDPC manufacturing mission. Some searching on the forums show that I'm supposed to do a very basic manufacturing mission that I may have missed, but I don't see anymore of these.

My question is whether the mission "Xithricite Apothecarium" interlinked with the IHDPC mission? It is the only commodity manufacturing mission I am left out with and I have done the 10 jobs for the initial rewards and it's only worth proceeding with it if it is indeed linked to the cell manufacturing.

Err, actually, try making several hdpcs. I think i made 5 or 10? Then the mission tree continues.

I'm aware of that, but some guildies mentioned that the "Xithricite Apothecarium" mission might be related to it. So I'm guessing they aren't related?

I've only done a single Xith mission, so if you've done ten, I don't think its necessary.

I think the frequency we see this question come up shows the obvious flaw in the ihdpc mission tree. Missions shouldn't ever require vet assistance to figure out.

Not everything needs training wheels.

To elaborate, getting "vet assistance to figure out" was never part of the plan; it's more that the IHDPC mission tree was designed as a clandestine operation offered only to those showing significant willpower in the right direction.

having a mix of simple and complex mission webs should be fine - we don't want entirely linear gameplay. Also, I sorta stumbled my way through the whole thing, without realizing what I was doing. perhaps the real issue is people struggling too hard to unlock it and only it?

Well you missed my question, I only wanted to know whether Xithricite Apothecarium is related to the tree, I unlocked the IHDPC just now though :)

It's a very good mission tree, a bit time-consuming but not too difficult.
It should however highlight the need for mining jobs experience along with manufacturing experience.

Sorry if that was unclear of an answer; I was saying "no, it shouldn't be"

I was responding to Greenwalls reply, your first reply made it clear.
