FAQ:

I've crafted several Steel Bars but haven't received a check mark on this quest, why not?

For this quest you will need to craft 10 Steel Bars to gain Level 1 Mastery on it. Once you do, you will receive a check mark on this objective.

Help! The Beasties didn't show up. What do I do?
You can try clearing the cache and refreshing, and if they don't show up then you can use a Gloom Potion to summon new ones. Banishing these should do the trick!
