I was more focused on the fact that I had 2 recipes of the same name in my journal when reporting the bugs in the other day, but it took me a bit to figure out the cookies as well.

I did skim back through the earlier posts but I missed it. Sure enough, dismounting made it show up. Does it have any other effects, such as making the arborians not aggro? (I can check next time in Vegarlson, but atm I'm standing in Eryslai).

(They were aggro to Niami still, but she'd done the line pretty early on in the beta.)

few ideas if we are still going to get more rewards for some quests<br /><ul><li>spell depot 50 slots for house (would be nice since we never got a craftable one)</li><li>lv 110 heirloom max harvest skill potion ( woudl grant all harvest skills to 550 or maybe 1)</li><li>house banker</li><li>postage racer snail (maybe as a special house mailbox)(reduces item sent mail to 10 mins to receive instead of 30 mins)</li></ul>if not could always use em for some ts mission rewards or something like that in future

The portals seem to be misbehaving the past few days. They were fine, then they broke, were fixed and now going batty again. It's beta, make sure to /bug those things.

They're not specific to the TS line, so dropping 'em here just means that Gninja then has to forward it on to the dev who is "it" for that zone ... who then has to forward it to the Art folks to have them fix the durn thing ... again. <br /> <br />(In this case, Chrol's already aware and has already forwarded it to the art team again, but in general, it speeds fixes up a lot if you post stuff that is an overall zone issue in the zone forum, instead of having it leapfrog through an extra step <img src="/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="BigGrin" />)

Build 14369<br /> <br />"The Scivener's Tale" - "Speak directly to the Scrivener in the Myrist Mezzanine"<br /> <br />The "can't talk" scrivener has a voiceover that says "Well met!" ... he really shouldn't have a VO tied to him <img src="/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="BigGrin" />

[Sigrdrifa]

<b><span style="text-decoration: underline">Quest:</span> The Scrivener's Tale: In Preparation for Anything</b><br /> <br />The Location type should be "Multiple locations".<br /> <br /><img src="https://orig00.deviantart.net/d79b/f/2018/309/0/d/in_preparation_for_anything_by_sigrdrifa1-dcraf14.png" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" alt="[IMG]" />

<b><span style="text-decoration: underline">Quest:</span> The Scrivener's Tale: The Notion of a Potion</b><br /> <br />Mourndax shouldn't give you the recipe book for the Thermal Dissipation Potion until you return to him with your freshly harvested Doomfire materials. I was able to craft the potion standing in the Library before I ever went to Doomfire, though of course it did not update the quest.

<b><span style="text-decoration: underline">Quest:</span> The Scrivener's Tale: A Crafter's Plea</b><br /> <br />After you arrive in Eryslai and speak to Recipes for Adventuring, it sends you to craft an offering to Xegony. The Location shows in the Journal as "Work Bench", but it really should be either "Unknown" or "Multiple Locations" or stay pointed at Eryslai, since that field is usually used for a zone or instance name.

[Sigrdrifa]

<b><span style="text-decoration: underline">Quest:</span> The Scrivener's Tale</b> (final)<br /> <br />The quest reward, Planar Adventures, is a charm with three white slots. None of the Nails adornments will go in a charm slot. Are there more Nails coming?

[Gninja]

Just wanted to give a quick "THANK YOU!" to all the beta testers that ran through this questline a billion times to get all the kinks worked out. <br /> <br />Here's to a smooth launch next week <img src="/images/smilies/smile.gif" alt="Smile" /> See you guys in Norrath. We are wrapping up some odds and ends over the weekend but we're almost there!

[Xianthia]

Last minute stuff I think is happening...<br /> <br />Quest: The Proof of Power<br />Journal: Use the Celestial Nilborien Mount Illusion from the mount window!<br /> <br />Using the illusion is not updating the quest. I've dismounted, zoned, re-used the illusion and quest is not updating. I've also gone to find the Great Nest in case the quest was changed, but no relief on getting quest to update.<br /> <br />Have also re-crafted the illusion.

[Kamyo]

Yep, I can confirm <br /> <br />Quest: The Proof of Power<br /><div align="left"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="color: #200b01">Journal: Use the Celestial Nilborien Mount Illusion from the mount window!</span></span></div> <br />have used illusion from mount window several times, dismounted put reg mount on and back and no update. I keep getting <br />"You must swap out the "Celestial Niborien Mount Illusion" for the Celestial Niborien Illusion" in your mount window before it can be applied.<br /> <br />Current status of Tradeskill Signature line quest - stuck cant get past this point

[Meryanar]

Confirm too.<br />Quest: The Proof of Power<br /><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="color: #200b01">Journal: Use the Celestial Nilborien Mount Illusion from the mount window!</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="color: #200b01">I even started the Crafter Timeline again, no update past this point.</span></span>

[Audrel]

Confirm as well.<br /> <br />Quest: The Proof of Power<br />Journal: Use the the Celestial Nilborien Mount Illusion from the mount window!<br />Equipped and unequipped between regular mount and nilborien mount several times. Tried deleting quest and starting over, and it still does not update. The first time I did the quest line on different account it worked great. The chat message indicates, "You must swap out the "Celestial Nilborien Mount Illusion" for the "Celestial Nilborien Illusion" in your mount window before it can be applied." Has another step or different crafted item been added that didn't quite make it into the game?

I also don't see any vial of saps any more so I can't gather them.

There wasn't the word "mount" first as it was a regular illusion. The old crafted illusions where renamed and old recipes too, so it should be the same item. Perhaps some kind of name check somewhere.<br /> <br />I checked all the chars who did it weeks ago but I can't find a remnant of the original :/
