Weird, I wonder if it was a bug. I went to the NPC to get the quest again so I could get a second one, and she offered it for free.
Have you done the epic quest both times for the 1.0 and the 2.0 already? I apologize for the confusion, I did this when the quests first came out, so I do not remember all of the details except I got the ornament free by asking.
