You may wish to use skill enhancing items to complete these tasks. After talking to him you recieve a quest (in your perspective craft will now have a new section right above practice recipest) to make a Basic Gearknight <item> which has a 100 Difficulty:

100 Iron
50 Steel
150 Wood
150 Hide
Unknown <item>

 

Basic Gearknight <item>

After you craft the item you give it to Ludward (22.8S, 54.2W) at the Southern Gevoth Outpost.

Ludward tells you, "Yes, yes, interesting... and absolutely useless to me in my work."

"Oh, why do you continue to help me? I have failed... failed! My dream has become a nightmare! Alas! Still, I'll continue my experiments until I can see what went wrong! Here is a recipe for an excellent Gear Knight component."

"Oh, yes, I should mention the recipe is not complete. I have not completely deduced what is needed to finish this Gear Knight component. Hopefully you'll be able to figure out the missing element in the recipe."

You then get a recipe for an Excellent Gear Knight <item> which has a 120 Difficulty:

400 iron
100 steel
400 stone
400 chitin
Unknown <Item>

 

Excellent Gear Knight <item>

Give this item to Ludward (22.8S, 54.2W) at the Southern Gevoth Outpost

Ludward tells you, "Wonderful, friend! A few more components and the Archetype will be complete. Once this Archetype is complete, the Brotherhood of Shapers will realize how wrong they were. My Knights can be trusted! They'll save us all!"

"I think it might be best if you reforged an original Gear Knight part into a new component for the Archetype, instead of building one from scratch. Here's a map that will lead you to where a component might be found."

Map

 

Your next task is to use a the map he gives you to find a Rusting Gear Knight in northern Osteth. Your Survey rating must be atleast 50 to use the map. Once you find the location A Rusty Gear Knight Spring will appear in your pack. Return to Ludward (22.8S, 54.2W) at the Southern Gevoth Outpost and hand him the Rusty Gear Knight Spring.

Rusty Gear Knight Spring

Ludward tells you, "Excellent, you have proven yourself to me. Now, I can give you a much more difficult item to craft. While I can't use the basic component you just created, this next component will actually go into my final Gear Knight. Exciting, isn't it?"

"Oh, yes, I should mention the recipe is not complete. I have not completely deduced what is needed to finish this Gear Knight component. Hopefully you'll be able to figure out the missing element in the recipe."

He then gives it back to you and you get a recipe for a Gear Knight Spring:

500 Dramastic
500 Tukalite
Rusting Gear Knight Spring
Unknown <Item>
Unknown <Item>


New Gear Knight Spring

Give the New Gear Knight Spring to Ludward (22.8S, 54.2W) at the Southern Gevoth Outpost to complete the quest.

Ludward tells you, "The last component! Now I can assemble my Gear Knight Archetype! Stand back for a moment! Oh, this is exciting!"
