In the peat bog The rats crawlers, monitors, beetles are way to big for such a small area they need to big scaled back I think.<div></div>

In the Forest Ruins for the quest Uncover the Caches,  sometimes when you sprinkle your dust to reveal the tools the tool guardian doesnt' appear.  The first bush I did this too I spent several minutes trying to figure out how to destroy the tools.  Finally, I did another bush near by and after a few seconds both tool guardians spawned on me.  Considering I had only managed to work my skills up to 24 or so out of 45 I died a very painful death.i also had problem with one of the bushes near the ruins wall were the guardian spawned inside the wall.  he couldnt' attack me or move and I couldn't attack him.<div></div>

Oh and on another note,  The pirate ship and the pirate raid onthe ruins was awesome. =)  I just wish there was some way to get aboard the pirate ship.<div></div>

I've set it up so that the guardians now spawn directly on the user which has, so far, proven to be effective. This fix should make it on server soon.</div></div>

[Skulldugge]

Ok here is another borked collection quest. The First quest the leutenant assigns in oakmyst works fine kill mobs to find out where the poison comes from.The second quest he assigns tells you to forage the strange dirt piles around oakmyst. I did this with a new character and had the same problem the folkswith the green pods quest did in the other zones that could not gather because they had no gather skill. I went and bought the handy dandy harvest knifethen i was able to collect the mineral samples but the quest refused to update even after collecting 8 samples (quest only required 5) I then /buggedThe quest and decided to post this bug so It is now a known Issue by the test community  =)<div></div>

[elliebel]

I had the same problem as Skullduggery. No quest updates after harvesting ten piles of dirt in Oakmyst.<div></div>

[Salmastryon]

<div></div>Killed the named badger in Forest Ruins.  Rabid Badger I think was his name.  At anyrate, I got a legendary chest from him (yea!).  In the chest was Badegerbite Stiletto, a legendary weapon.  Stats for it are +4int +2health +2 power, Wield style: one-handed,  Damage rating: 6, Base damage: 2-7, Delay: 1.6 seconds, Damage type: Pierce.  It's a very nice weapon for a mage. The thing is it is called a stiletto.  Stilettos from T2 up are a dual-wield weapon with stats for melee classes.  To avoid confusion on the part of newbies, I'm suggesting that it would be a good idea to change the name of the weapon to Badgerbite, Badgerbite Needle, Badgerbite Dirk or something along those lines.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Salmastryon on <span class="date_text">01-13-2006</span><span class="time_text">12:38 PM</span></p>

<div>In Oakmyst Forsest the Quest "Cause for Investigation" does not update.  I have gotten the five "unearthed soil" required and get no updates from any of them.  Tried talking with Lieutenant Charlin and still no update.</div>

In the Peat Bog, the toxic and ravenous slugs are parrying at a high rate. Makes them very tough to kill! I'd say at least half or a little more of all my "successful" hits were parried.

<span>About the quest Cause for Investigation, given Lieutenant Charlin in Oakmyst forest.I started the quest one or two days ago, picked a couple of soil samples then i went and did the Qynos Guard Quests in Forest ruins and in Peat Bog.. i returned there today to finish the quest, got the last few soil samples, and when speaking to Charlin now he just says: This land and our people owe you much, Thank you., nothing else happens, no update nothing... and he has the book icon over his head.I have the 5 soil samples in my inventory.<font color="#ff6633"></font></span><div></div>

I agree with Willias about Qeynosians only working for the guards... i really would like to have quests from the other city houses.This should by no means mean that we should get less faction points from each house...Here come some thoughts (please don't laugh <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />):<b>Oakmyst Forest</b>The new Bowmen NPC's could be tagged with Tunarian Alliance and give faction raising quests for them exploring the mystery of the dryads, why they turned against the nature and the source of their aggressive behavior.<b>Peat Bog</b>A few NPC's from The Concordium seeking help from us to investigate the magical secrets of the fairies...<b>Forest Ruins</b>Someone from Celestial Watch, maybe exploring the mysterious happenings inside the ruins... Also another nice quest series could be for instance to investigate the source of the undead that spawn at night there.Also some quests concerning the new pirates that have set ashore here... maybe Tunarian Alliance has interest in finding out more?These are some simple/silly thoughts... <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

I think Cre has some good ideas.  A major lacking element before was introduction to the factions in the city.  I've met lvl 50's who don't know about writs or what they are for.  Putting faction quests in as part of the beginning levels would be a good introduction.I've also met lvl 20's who don't know about the broker either since most brokers are hidden away somewhere.  Should be a quest that introduces new players to the broker and how he works.<div></div>

[kelesia]

i've been working on the kerran series of quests on my lvl 9 swashie.  The one I'm on now - The Unfortunate Earth - requires you to go kill bog sludges and such in the peat bog. The quest is level 8... and the crap that has to die is level 3, and I mean a hard level 3 at that.  So it's grey.bleh.  The difficulty in killing the crap makes it closer to a 7 or 8... so maybe the levels need to be looked into ?<div></div>

<div></div><p>Found some issues with the Forest Ruins:</p><p>1) You can't get the update for finding the mage tower ruins for 'In Search of the Tower of the Order of Three' given in the Baubbleshire.

While this isn't a bug it does slow down the completion of these normally simple quests where there used to be lots of guardians up. This could be a problem if there's more than one person hunting them for one or both quests (and Xoort's as well once its fixed). I also noticed there's no more water guardians.</p>

[Min]

Just wanted to drop in my small bit of exp on test this morning.  I've been away for a month or so (Holidays, family, traveling, etc) and got back to see that all of the new  things were beginning to be implemented on test.I logged in my one test char, she's a level 8 (now paladin) and headed off to test some of the new content in Oakmyst.  She is outfitted purely in the items from newbie island, then the new items dropped in her inventory from becoming a paladin.  She has also gotten her Qeynos Citizenship sword.  She has no spell, skill upgrades (no cash on test to do this!), so I would think the way she is outfitted is going to be typical of any new-to-the-game players.She can't kill an even con Oakmyst spider.  She was killed by a one arrow down spider (level <img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> after using every skill, every heroic opportunity and the one spell available (did not miss or bungle a single opportunity).  Spider was at 1/2 health when she died.  Even con (no arrows up or down) with the same effort (no mistakes, nothing missed) was 3/4 alive when she died.  Perhaps the poison is too strong for this level?  She finally killed a 3 arrow down level 8 spider.   The spider seems a bit overpowered for a level 8 quest - unless the new content is supposed to be group focused only.<div></div>

 minda,.. while you were gone, there were a few problems with skills going bonkers. take a look at what your piercing/slashing/defense skills are sitting at. my 47 paladin was pretty much reverted to a 37 when i loged in the other day, and i had to spend about 2 days getting these skills back up again in el and zek on greys before i could venture back to to the sands and majdul. with my skills blown out of the water, i was being killed by the green lizards on the beach in lavastorm. all i can say is, spend a little time increasing your skills in those areas, and then try the lvl 8 content again, should be a drastic difference.<div></div>

<div></div><p>Problem with the new quest lines:</p><p>Think I found the key behind a few apparent bugs I ran into on a couple of characters.</p><p>My wood elf swashbuckler did all the Forest Ruins quests up to 'Lure' then started work on the Peat Bog quests. I got the quest in Peat Bog to go after Dentfang "A Final Foe". I then went back and took out Malox and got 'Reinforcements'. Upon returning to Peat Bog and taking out Dentfang I was able to complete the quest and was told I was being called to the Caves. Then I was given teh text about where to find Dentfang and the rest of the quest start text for the quest I'd just finished. When I re-hailed Lt. Dawson I got a generic 'good work' type message and that's all. I then went to Oakmyst forest and Lt. Charlin just said "thanks for your hard work" (not exactly but along those lines) and wouldn't offer any quest. I assumed at this point that Dawson's quest to send you to the Caves was missing/not finished and that for some reason Dawson would only offer his quests to those sent to him by another NPC (so basically dwarves, barbarians, frogloks, and high elves who did the mentor quests).</p><p>My high elf warlock got up to Charlin's 'An Important Meeting' but was too low level to handle the mobs so went off to do other things. I then took him all the way through the Forest Ruins quests and got Reinforcements. Upon returning to Oakmyst Forest I got the book and upate for 'An Important Meeting' (and btw I hope I can really keep the book and put it in my house, and that it actually says something once I know gnoll), but Charlin won't update the quest. He gives the same text my swashbuckler is getting. I've not hit the Peat Bog yet but I suspect I'll get the same response out of Dawson my swashbuckler did when he re-hailed her.</p><p>The key seems to be having the 'Reinforcements' quest in my journal. On the Freeport side having the referral quest didn't block the other two quest line progressions though (I had two of the referral quests active at once even, both named the same and only one showing in my journal, but was able to turn in the visible one, then re-hail and turn in the second one getting the correct faction increases for each). Reinforcements can't be completed at this point since the NPC isn't in the Caves yet.</p><p>So I then deleted Reinforcements on my warlock and was then able to update 'An Important Meeting' with Lt. Charlin. I suspect doing that will clear up the inability to get any of Charlin's quests on my swashbuckler or let me get the referall quest (probably called Reinforcements) from Lt. Dawson. I'm assuming that if the NPC were in place and I was able to complete Reinforcements that I could get the other quest lines updated/completed/started but I suspect it would still block due to having the quest marked completed making the other NPCs think I'd done all their stuff already.</p>

The reason I ask is that on the Freeport side you can get the referral quest to the Ruins three times, earning faction for each of the three factions plus the Freeport Militia 3x over.</p><p>I really hope that other factions play a role in the Qeynos adventure yards, either by modifying the aligned quest giver already there or adding another NPC with a few quests in that zone. Just feels a bit unbalanced to only gain faction in Qeynos Guard on the Qeynos side but to gain faction with 4 factions on the Freeport side (though the Seafury Bucanneers is oddly absent but you have the new Dreadnaught faction).</p>

I sent an in game feedback on this, but I will post it here as well. As far as the quests recieved outside of the island are conserned, they really leave me wanting more.I know some people really don't like the feeling that they're being led by the hand.. and for them that's cool. However, I would really like to see more quest that aren't just race specific, but class specific, maybe something to do with Rangers in Oakmyst Forest, etc... These quests, in the tradition of the level 20 armor quest *could* take up enough of your time to get to 20 and so on... as we all know the level 20 AQ's usually don't get finished until the high 20's anyway. Anyhow, I would love to see more quests along these line to really help you identify with you class and race... maybe a bit of your racial/class history. These quest would intertwine with the other race/class quests and reward nice items and weapons. Keeps you immersed and gives those who choose to follow this path ( and I bet it will be the majority of them) the feeling of real accomplishment throughout thier progression.. anyhow, that's my 2 bits.<div></div>

I was working my kitty -kerran swasshie (level 11 now) thru Ambushed in Peat Bog last night and lemme just say that I think I walked over every single f'ing piece of ground in peat bog for almost 2 hours and i couldn't get a single update. I finally gave up, then took her off to the caves at level 10 to kill some stuff.One thing that is really frustrating to me is that she sucks. She's using vendor bought weapons and armor for the most part. She's missing several slots of jewelry. She has 1s to her name. After blowing the 30s she's managed to accumulate on 2 new iron weapons, a bow and 2 new armor pieces in the nettleville shop, she's doing a little bit better.There seems to be an issue with drops in the cave. In the hour and a half I was killing spiders, gnolls, and golems I got 3 chests - One a nice tunic that she's wearing, one a bracelet, again that she's wearing and the third was a tradeskill book. She accumulated 1 coral amulet, some arachnid legs, and not much else. Just seems like there needs to be more body loot and chests. I went 2 levels without seeing hardly anything, and it's really frustrating because on Test I don't have the money pool I've accumulated to draw on. So all my combat arts are app1. /sigh

Each one has a crate and some tools laying around. One of the tools will be clickable for the update.

I've actually seen more chests dropping on live. Also the Caves aren't done yet, there's still quests and possibly more population changes coming to that zone.

I did notice no chest drops on the new named poachers in Oakmyst Forest (the new nameds I've found in the Sprawl each drop a legendary chest with unique legendary treasures in them).</p>

<div></div>I have been playing a woodelf warden in Qeynos, and have been following the quest-lines in the Forest Ruins. One thing I have noticed is the zone is MUCH less laggy (YAAA!) and the quests are much more fun.

When I died it closed the 'accept' window for my quest reward. When I revived it didn't show up again though I heard the 'ding' of quest completion again. I completed another quest with a reward and neither showed up. I tried camping and reentering and go the 'ding' each time but never saw the window. I then zoned from Oakmyst to Castleview Hamlet, got the ding, and this time the quest reward window finally appeared and I was able to accept the belt from 'Ode to Oakmyst' then was able to get my staff from "Proof of Oakmyst Poachers". I've had this happen once before on live when killed in a group and it completed a quest with money rewards. This prevented me from getting two quest items (boots for Saving Soles from the crawler and the translated note for Lost Legends of Lavastorm). It was the same issue with getting the 'ding' but no window. Finally out of annoyance had a friend log in on her machine and she got the window and accepted the coin then the two items appeared in my inventory. This bug isn't common but can cause problems if you don't get lucky enough to have a fast enough zone load to have the window not 'time out'.

i havn't been to all the new yards yet, but i wanted to feed back some things before i forgot the details ::winks::first off, i really like the yard changes. it does work to help with immersion and it is to me a bit more interesting.couple of suggestions:i had a horrible time finding del's pack in the forest ruins for germain. it took me two days. i don't know if it was so small i was missing it or if there was some kind of bug and it wasn't showing. if it's not poping all the time as part of the quest, maybe that should be looked into, since it took me 2 days to find ;P if it's supposed to be always up, could we make it a skosh bigger? pretty please?in the same quest line i loooved the illusion stuff. i had a hard time finding the item that was needed to be gathered with the graphics tho. i don't think the graphics should be changed, but is there any way to make it jump out at you alittle more when highlighted?i am also unable to update the tower of three quest (just throwing my lot in there with everyone else ::winks:<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />in the peat bog, i love what you have done with the place! but my final gnoll ambush for 'ambushed' spawned, i killed them and then the whole camp vanished before i could do what ever is needed for that update. so i am kind of stuck there. i haven't managed to trigger to progress with that quest line.i am going to take a tour around the caves and see if i can make any suggestions since you are shopping for them ::winks::good work guys!

<div></div><div>In regards to the Caves, when I finally made it to that zone, my character was a lvl 10 Conjurer and a lvl 10 Scholar.  Is there anyway we can have the Caves and the Ruins (for that matter) spawn Tier 2 harvestables.  It just seems logical, since it is basically a tier 2 zone now, the harvestables should be that way as well.  A player who is following the natural progression of his/her  character in both artisan and adventuring class, should not have to go to 2 different zones to achieve advancement.</div>

In The Peat Bog , King Itchhide does not drop loot or occassionally he'll drop low lvl loot but nothing like a named should be dropping. Also just for cosmetic appeal could you slow the Ravinous Bog Slugs down a bit, moving too fast for their size.THanks<div></div>

in the forest ruin, the quest "returning to the disturbance" seem bugged, when the camp appear there is no clickable item and the quest doesn't update where running around it.<div></div>

<div></div>You need to click on the campfire to see if it contains what you need. Its not items around it.

<div></div><div>Have found some reference to this, but wanted to repeat it since I have not found a post addressing it (yet). Finally left the isle last night with my barb pally and eventually worked my way into Oakmyst. The "Cause for Investigation" quest still has the collected item marked as LORE, so you can only harvest one soil sample - a little bit shy of the 5 needed.</div>
