<div></div>Innkeeper Valean in Castleview will no longer update Reservations for a Visitor or Faeadaen's Dinner Message when you hail him. He only gives options to explain housing/ selling/ item placement.

<div>A harvesting knife is needed to harvest seeds from Green wisps in Castleview. Since this is one of the first quests given many newbies will not know they will have to go to the inn and buy a harvesting knife. Also the knives are quite expensive in comparison to what a new player will probably have gotten by this point.</div>

[Fazzamar]

This is refering to the part of the Kerran newbie quest where you have to kill the 3 sets of gnolls guarding the "machines" in Peat Bog. When I went to kill the first set of 3 gnolls, I killed the machinist and his assistant as a level 10 Dirge, but when I went to kill the Gnoll Guard he would dissappear occasionally then reappear a second or so later as if he was using snoop or some other combat art. At one point he knocked me unconcious, stopped hitting me, and went invis. When my health had returned enough to get up I moved, he reappeared, and knocked me out again, but didn't go invis this time. He did go back to the spot where he had spawned though. When I eventually was able to get up again I was far enough away from him that he didn't agro, but I was still engaged in combat. After a grueling wait (in combat health regen) I proceded to kill him and got the update.<div></div>

I'm unable to update quests involving him or get his quest (for his lost books in the Down Below).

Examining it or hailing hte NPC does not offer a quest and you still can't do any tradeskilling.

[Sritt]

<div></div>WHile not quest related, with the change of all the animals in the villages to attackable mobs the guards are running around the Qeynos villages butchering cats, dogs, and pigs! THis also does have an indirect effect on quests as the guards who offer quests spend a period of time 'locked' after attacking one of the helpless critters and during that time will not respond to hails to get/update/complete a quest.

[Sritt]

<div></div><div>As a reward for one of the early high elf mentor quests you get an item called 'Greenwisp'. This starts off as a house item, if you examine it you get an option to 'remove the mounting' and it makes reference to a 'Charm of Elosi'. If you try to remove the mounting nothing happens, leaving this just a house item.</div>

[Cremaster1978]

<div></div><p>The human trainer in Starcrest gives several quests (as u all know) but none of his quests give ANY quest reward, except for XP.</p><p>I was surprised that the high elf trainer (wich i did after) gave a quest reward after each quest.... is this intentional?</p><p>I don't know about the other classes in Qeynos.</p>

[CrazedMut]

<div></div>I can confirm Innkeeper Yeoni in Willow Wood Inn does not update the quest "Any messages for Jendan".

[Borre]

Bartender Bulurg in Castleview is supposed to give you a jug so you can do "A Jug of Water for the Hole in the Wall", but after several times abandoning and retaking the quest, I've never gotten a jug. I even went to the Oakmist Falls to see if it would trigger anyways, but it didn't.<div></div>

[Sritt]

<div></div>You don't get a jug for the water, it's always been just an update for walking into the falls. This is a known problem (as are all location updates in Oakmyst Forest like the picnic spot and the ode to oakmyst) and being worked on. Since its the weekend I'm not sure we'll see another test server patch until Monday, was surprised when one came through at midnight last night.

[Leostri]

<div>This may be a bit nitpicky, but when talking to Jendan Greenthorn in Willow Wood for the quest Any Messages for Jendan? he talks about the Isle of Refuge when it should be Queen's Colony:smileytongue:</div>

[Leostri]

<div></div>I'm sorry about the double post but I think a couple of quests in the forest ruins are bugged. Vaughn's Stuff requires you to kill ruin skulkers, and there are only ruin prowlers that I've seen so the requirement needs to be changed. The other quest is Returning to the Disturbance. You have to sprinkle powder on some bushes to make a campsite appear. When you do that you're supposed to look for some item at the camp but nothing was around that could be clicked or anything like that.

[Ariaya]

I did a little running around Nettleville with my new Kerran Mystic. I have to say that I was quite entertained by the mentor series of quests. Very well done!I'm not sure how a new player is supposed to find the innkeeper or the other quests. I mean I know they'll know about the quill symbols by now, but knowing to go and look for the inkeeper is something else. Maybe the mentor could send them that way? or have them check out the inn as part of one of the run around quests from the mentor?Some Tradeskill feedback, I'm not sure where to put it ..On the Tradeskill quest: Since we no longer get the note from Dreak, it will be hard for a new person to figure out why Bendeer Toronga has a quill over his head as he has no dialog. ... I don't know if this will be resolved when we get tradeskilling on the island.Books on the merchant are no longer colored red if I can't use them on my level 1 unskilled kerran and my level 3 artisan (created pre LU19).I think it's been reported before, but there is no way to level my tradeskill on my new character.On my Barbarian Monk, who was created and brought to Greystone prior to LU19, she was able to do the inkeeper quest again and now has 2 tables, 2 chandilers a mirror, a merchant board and a picture.

<div></div><div></div>One of the old Baubleshire quests "A Tattered Journal for Valean" is no longer completeable. When you go to talk with Innkeeper Valean, he has a book/quill above his head, but the only dialogue he gives you is information about housing. I can't get him to update this quest. There is the same problem with the Castleview Hamlet quest "Faedaen's Dinner Message". You are asked to speak with Innkeeper Valean, but he does not give you any quest dialogue, just housing info.<p>Message Edited by Heattanu on <span class="date_text">01-16-2006</span><span class="time_text">06:16 PM</span></p>

a.) Not sure if this is old news of not, but the 4th or 5th quest for the Kerrans, the Kitty that you talk to for all the quests directs you to Peat Bog to talk to the Botanist (Liith?)  who in turn asks for X number of 2 or 3 different types of items, one of the requirements is 4 'somethings of mud'.  I searched high and low and could not find anything in Peat Bog that drops anything related to 'mud'.    Not sure what the deal was.b.) On 3rd part of woman guard that talks like man in peat bog's quests, it asks to find the three ambush spots, i am having a hard time finding spot 3.  Does it move around?Sorry for vauge descriptions, very tired and memory is fuzzy from playing this morning.-Cyan<a target="_blank" href="http://www.eq2-daily.com/podcast.aspx">EQ2-Daily.com EQ2 Podcasts</a><div></div>

All three are stuck in little dead end areas and only spawn when you get close to them.

<div></div>Willow WoodI like these quests all in all (much better then the ole "apartment run around" ones). Just a few things I thought when I did them :1) The graphics used for those "bushes" I would assume they are not "final"? They really are not up to snuff considering the rest of EQ2s graphics which makes them look a little rediculous.2) I did not actually see any "wolf tracks" on the wolf part of the Willow Wood quest. I had no problem completeling the quest as I just ran up the hill and the wolf attacked me, but since it asks one to "follow the wolf tracks" it might be confusing to some that there are no "wolf tracks"?3) I had the Yeoni (Innkeeper) issue as well (does not update message quest in journal), again it did not hurt my progression very much but could be confusing for a real newb.All and all I like them very much, they were pretty easy to follow, well connected and flowed much faster then  the ole "apartment" system because you did not need to zone so often (well done).<p>Message Edited by Geldoff on <span class="date_text">01-23-2006</span><span class="time_text">07:38 AM</span></p>

<div><div>I'm looking into the mud issue in the Peat Bog (and elsewhere).

<div></div><p><font color="#33ccff">I'm not sure if this was noted before, as I'm a bit too sleepy to read through all the post atm... it's just a couple of suggestions with the tradeskilling-</font></p><p><font color="#33ccff">-1- not a bad idea about just using the raw components to make the finished product but I know a few classes use making WORTs and such to help advancing to their next level (my main is a jeweler and won't have the problem).
