like Che said your going to have to do thos quests anyway if you're a new player and most experienced players only do important quests such as ones that give you skill points or ones that let you into the next zone. Yeah new players wont know what random stats are but hey you cant do randoms till you get lv30 gear so you'll already have done the introduction quest by then. As far as jewels you don't need to be a genius to know "hey this is a jewel, oh hey this a jewel slot" and so ends the epic tutorial of the jewels part 1... to be continued. Hell the names of the techs are about all you need to know with a sprinkling of extra information once you interact with the NPC. This would help players both new and old .new players can ask in area "hey how do i use random stats/ jewel tech, oh by the way can you help me figure this out" and old players wouldn't have to go to merholt just to use the items they got and have to port all the way back and forth. And since and Drasilmarsh and CX-1 both drop rank 2 blueprints and R1 jewels so nublits are going to be asking about jewels before they even make it to merholt.
