The Scrivener's Tale: Tradeskill Signature Questline Feedback

[Gninja]

The tradeskill signature questline "The Scrivener's Tale" is now active on beta. Please post any and all feedback here!<br /> <br />Note: Rewards are not hooked up yet so no need to /bug or /feedback missing rewards or coin rewards, they are in progress on our end.

[Niami DenMother]

In prep for when it unlocks, I wanted to add a few quick notes here.<br /> <br />Check your email if you've not already done the Myrist unlock via adventuring! The new mail from Ghida contains an item to unlock Myrist access for level 110 crafters. After you've unlocked it, Myrist is available from any wizard spire.<br /> <br />Quest recipes for this line do NOT autoscribe, so make sure your bags are set up in a way that makes it easy to find and scribe any "Recipe Scroll: ___" that drop into your bags.<br /> <br /><span style="color: #ff0000"><b>Do NOT try to mass produce any of these quest combines!</b></span> There is more than one quest in this series that requires you craft 5 of an item, but they have to be made 1 at a time. (Don't freak out, these combines are normal-length combines, not the several-minute ones from the PoM line. Theoretically, you shouldn't need any progress potions, etc.)<br /> <br />You'll need some resources for the first couple quests, before you are sent out the first time to harvest. "Oliver" at the entrance to Myrist (East side of the zone, first floor), has all the common and rare harvests on him, as well as free fuel, so you can snag stuff there as a beta timesaver.<br /> <br />Unless I miscounted, there are 24 quests in this line.<br /> <br />Rewards are not yet tied to the crafting line (other than status for each one)

[Niami DenMother]

The quests are now live. You can find Ghida in Myrist.<br /> <br />Can't find her? Here's a Myrist cheat sheet for you: <a href="https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?threads/crafters-guide-to-myrist.586766/" class="internalLink">https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?threads/crafters-guide-to-myrist.586766/</a>

[Niami DenMother]

I initially sent this list directly in, but I wanted folks to see some of the things I found after the TS line went live today, so folks know workarounds (where needed)<br /> <br />Level 110 crafters who are not also level 110 adventurers cannot access the overland zones of Earth, Fire, Wind or Disease. This will be fixed. In the meantime, however, if you REALLY can't wait for the fix to go in before you test the line, beta buff your adventuring to level 110 to get past the requirement<br /> <br />[feedback] Rockin' n Knockin' - make a few more "flowers" and add some effect to make it easier to see them from a distance? This would make it easier for squishier crafters who are mob-dodging while looking for short rendering distance nodes<br /> <br />[weird bug] In Preparation for Anything - if you craft the Protective Coating at the Work Bench in Myrist, just for the time you are crafting the coating (ONLY while crafting), you can see the recipe scroll for the Myrist Trunk glowing on the ground next to the bookcase beside you. As soon as you finish the combine, it disappears again<br /> <br />[oddness] Erecting the Monument. The first time you make the Monument Repair Kit (to repair the monument), it tells you that you've discovered it ... everyone gets to discover it, that is. Every time a new character makes that Monument Repair Kit, they get told they've discovered it.<br /> <br />[bug] Custodial Refurbishment - obtain the recipe scroll: divine antibiotic potion and the blessed runestone. Then zone without scribing it, and your bag 1 and all the contents get dumped into overflow to end up in bag 2 while an invisible Lore recipe scroll hides in bag slot one. (Same bug, different day! <img src="/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="BigGrin" />) Workaround until this is fixed: craft the potion, delete any extra copies of the recipe that ended up in your bags, finish that quest, and your bags can be rearranged again.<br /> <br />[minor bug] The Reach of Ivy - you can get all three broken pottery shard updates on the same broken pot if you click 3 times very quickly before the shards poof<br /> <br />[query] The Reach of Ivy - I didn't check earlier ones, but since it said "obtain" strangler root instead of "harvest", and I was able to pull roots from the depot for it. Thank you if that was intentional <img src="/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="BigGrin" /><br /> <br />[minor bug] The Reach of Ivy - "Craft the Pottery". The first combine of "box of newly formed pottery" counts for 2/3, so you only need to make 2 combines instead of three. You end up with only two of the boxes in inventory from the 2 combines, but it counts for all 3 quest updates.<br /> <br />Back to the Library, Shhhh! "Return to Myrist and seek out Cookie" Cookie does not have any quest book over his head.

[Niami DenMother]

I went to see if the beta tradeskill testing reward, Kristoph, was available to be claimed on live, and found I had "1 remaining" when I should have had 2 on this account already (about to finish a third on this account, and have done 1 on the other account as well). Is this intended or should it be 1 per completion, just like past betas?

[Mermut]

Quest: The Scrivener's Tale: Escargot Overclocking<br />Step: Cast the spell on the minion<br /> <br />the step should read:<br />Cast Enhanced Spirit of the Wolf on Yrag

[Miragian]

These refer to the beginning of the quest line:<br />Weirdness: You craft something with the new harvests prior to being instructed to harvest them.<br />Related weirdness: Craft this, go harvest, craft this, than go back and harvest more of what you were previously harvesting is a bit silly, and annoying. Particularly when I had a bunch of stuff already in my bag from previously harvesting. (I think these are mostly the making the pieces for the chest and the protection stuff for the books)<br />Notion of a potion: conversation says something to the effect of I'll make the potion for you then meet you in doomfire. Actual quest doesn't care about making the potion and just tells you to go to doomfire.<br /> <br />Sorry this isn't formatted better, it didn't occur to me to post it till several steps later.

Quest: The Scrivener's Tale: Followup Friendships:<br />Step: ???<br /> <br />Issue: The quest helper has 8 lines of ???<br />Please add 'catalog creatures' to the quest helper ahead of the question marks. list of ??? is almost the same as nothing...<br />Please also consider putting the new ability, Vegarlson the Earthen Badlands: Catalogue Creature, as ability up as 'quest clickly' in the quest helper.<br />With hotbar space at a premium, I'm sure I won't be the only person who didn't have a free hotbar space and, therefore, didn't realize I had a new ability and that the old catalogue creature ability wouldn't work.

[Miragian]

Okay, so *then* it has you make the potion... odd order to things in my opinion.

[Mermut]

Quest: The Scrivener's Tale: A Crafter's Plea<br />Step: Follow the footsteps mentioned in the story<br /> <br />Issue: You have to talk to Recipes for Adventure AGAIN to get the recipe scroll. It would make more sense for him to give characters the recipe as part of the previous step.<br /> <br />Issue: As mentioned by others, the recipe, Offering to Xegony, does not recognize Golden Fleck. This makes progress impossible.

[Onoes]

I am not sure if I should qualify this as a "bug", however, it seems to be an oversight. In Pollination Perfection, the second step is the first recipe we do in the Vegarlson, "Earthen Balm" calls for a dozen fish... i have flown around the zone twice, and have not see an single fish I can harvest. seems impractical to have to go to another zone to pick up a few fish..

Also wanted to add that The Scrivener`s Tale: A Crafters`Plea is not showing the Golden Flecks in the recipe. I have both harvested and bought. Tried placing them in the broker, but no joy.

The Scrivener's Tale: A Crafter's Plea, "place the offering to Xegony at the marked location" There is a Nilborien Windraker that spawns too closely to the spot where the offering needs to be placed, and non-combat crafters won't be able to place it without being attacked.

[feedback] I don't recall seeing Yrag except when I am on the right step of the crafting line. If I haven't timed my circling right, and he poofs after you're done speeding him up, is there a version of him (or that model, and another snail schlumphing about), is it possible to let him be visible all the time? He adds some fun flavor to Myrist (if that doesn't add more lag than is reasonable, that is)

[Niami DenMother]

Protip: Watch your quest helper carefully. If it says "harvest ____" you have to go out and harvest. However, if it says "collect ___" you can harvest, pull out of a depot, pull off the broker, get from Oliver, etc

[Elinea]

Quick question: I know that it was stated at the beginning of this thread that the reward at the end of the quest line wasn't in yet, so not to bug it...but I didn't get any confirmation that I finished the quest line at all, so I wondered if that was normal too, or is that included in the "quest rewards aren't in yet"? I didn't expect to see what the reward will be on live, but I did expect to see "you finished the quest line for beta, check your claim on live".<br /> <br />Edit: I did log in to live servers, and there was nothing in claim to indicate that I'd actually finished the quest line.

[Jazzalyn]

1) This questline is phenomenal. It's one of the best tradeskill lines in the last few years. You feel like you're doing good, it tells a story, and it looks like it's going to be friendly to lower level adventuring crafters.<br />2) Thank you so much, in the Book's story, for making the adventurer a woman and the baker a male. It's still rare to see these gender shifts, but it is definitely noticed and appreciated! I liked being able to show the example to my daughter.<br />3) One quick feedback on The Scrivener's Tale: Seeding the Tale. A Zephryn Skycleaver goes all the way up to Ajekz the Hungry in his route. While you could wait to avoid him, it may nab some unsuspecting lower-level adventuring crafters, so I'm not sure if you'd be interested in having him stop further down the trail.

Scrivener's Tale: A Crafters Plea<br />After zoning to Eryslai and talking to the book "Recipes for Adventure", you can hail the book again and receive the recipe for the offering to Xegony. If you make the offering and click the pedestal where the offering is to be placed, you get another recipe book and have to make the offering again.<br /> <br />Same thing happens for the next quests from the book as well.

Sometimes it is about the little things!<br /> <br />Quest: Animating the Inanimate<br />Once you log the quest, you can immediately purchase the Prepared Malachite Shards from Oleene. Having it in inventory won't update quest once you are on that step.

The Scrivener's Tale: Escargot Overclocking<br /> <br />Recipe name: "Enhanced Spirit of the Wolf Scroll" creates product "Recipe Scroll: Scroll of Enhanced Spirit of the Wolf" (which happens to ALSO be the name of the scroll you had to scribe). This is ... confusing. It also doesn't delete on completion of the quest.<br /> <br />(Since it is after 3am, and I'm not sure if I am being fully clear, this quest gives you a Recipe Scroll: Scroll of Enhanced Spirit of the Wolf. That part is fine. Scribe it, and you get "Enhanced Spirit of the Wolf Scroll" in your recipe book. It has moved the word Scroll to the end of the name, when the scroll had it at the beginning of the name. This is ... ok ... nothing earth-shattering, not "wrong", just not totally consistent. However, you then make "Recipe Scroll: Scroll of Enhanced Spirit of the Wolf". This mismatch between recipe name and product is something we try to avoid, generally. In addition, though, this product is NOT a "recipe scroll" and shouldn't have that at the beginning of the name. Unless you've added something in where we can speed up Yrag at will, we also shouldn't be keeping that product after the quest is handed in.

[timelord5]

I too had trouble finding the bag, but by chance discovered it inside the pod where my track harvests skill was pointing. Had spent ages minutely searching rocks and leaves. Worth checking if on that step.

[Katzandra]

First of all, I would like to say this has been the most pleasurable beta experience I have had in EQ2.<br /> <br />That aside, I must address the Myrist Library in general. As someone who spent FAR to much of her life as a student in various colleges and universities, I have to admit that I bought most of my books just so I would NOT have to spend time in libraries. The early parts of the timeline were a bit like being stuck in purgatory roaming around a library that was far larger than it needed to be to house the books. At times I wondered if being stuck in the library might actually be worse than the prison sentence Druzzil Ro took for me! However, I sucked up the feelings of being punished by developers and mapped out the area and made notes for getting around faster when the expac goes live. I got to the quests outside of the library and forgot about my feelings of utter condemnation being stuck in a library...... Then there was the tradeskill quest.<br /> <br />From a role playing standpoint, how can we justify a vast library charged with organizing all this knowledge and a peoples that possess magical teleportation skills having a library teleportation system that is so inefficient? At least in our homes we have teleporters to take us to various areas. In this super library, we get to run around for endless hours from teleport to teleport. Fun? Time sink? I get that you guys want us to appreciate the time you put into art work, etc..... but really? Also, how silly is it that all the crafting stations are spread over the library. It would seem that all the stations being in either the smithing or crafting areas would make some sense. Nope..... we get to run all over the place........ Fun? Not so much........<br /> <br />Going out to harvest before each quest........ Ah come on most of us will harvest far more than you can imagine during the course of the expansion. One big harvesting quest might be in order. Anyhow, the inefficiencies in the library is stretching my ability to believe they are super duper organized magical beings and making me a bit irked with the developer that is making me run all over to find things that are usually found in one nice crafting area! (As I am progressing in the timeline, some of the harvesting might make sense.)<br /> <br />Added Note: I am not that familiar with the zones and harvesting yet, but right now it seems like it might be more challenging than usual to run a lower adventure level toon through the harvesting bits of the tradeskill timeline.

[Gninja]

There will soon be a map for the library. Once that is in and we can get a feel for travel we will add/adjust the way travel works in the zone.

I like the rework of "The Reach of Ivy" so far, as it flows much better. One little niggly:<br /> <br />Now that you only have to create one "box of newly formed pottery", you might want to tweak the recipe to use 3 vial of sticky sap, instead of 1. Otherwise, there's no reason to collect 3 and have 2 leftovers lurking in your bags, sticking up everything they touch. ;D (They don't delete from your bags at the end of the quest)

[feedback] "Followup Friendships" With the confusion I've seen on this one, I'd recommend putting something in the quest helper and/or journal specifying that they use the "Vegarlson, The Earthen Badlands: Catalogue Creature" ability. And perhaps *also* have Temry mention that you need to use a special cataloging technique. A lot of people are missing the quiet noise as the new ability drops into their knowledge books, and trying to use the old Catalog.<br /> <br />(For testers wondering why a new catalog ability was used, the Vegarlson catalog ability has 3m longer reach than the old catalog, which is very good for squishies out there!)

I just got the "messed up mount" issue from the celestial nilborien illusion as well.

Zone or relog, and it is back the way it should be, summoned and functioning, but until you do one or the other, you're stranded on foot in Wind.

[Darcmoon]

I finished up the crafting questline last night. I was using my level 110 adventurer/crafter. Most of the mobs seemed to have a larger agro radius than normal. Mobs that previously I would be safely out of agro radius would see me, even when I was flying. That is going to make it much harder on crafters who are lower level.

[Suzze/Barshen/Baratroub]

One note of interest, Not sure if this was done intentionally or not. I was comparing tradeskill Mounts the other night and was looking at Kristoph vs Brightfire. While the Combat Stats are vastly improved for Kristoph, The harvesting Skills drop by 30 on Kristoph? Unless somebody plans on using Kristoph as a Battle Mount, Brightfire still is the better Tradeskill mount. Is there any intent to Increase the Harvesting Stats on Kristoph to make it comparable if not better than Brightfire for tradeskill or is this destined to become another appearance mount?

[Suzze/Barshen/Baratroub]

Overall, The Tradeskill is looking very nice! Story flow is very good and the Problems, Critiques and Convenience issues brought up are being dealt with in a timely manner. For all my issues I have posted, I am very happy overall with it! I would like to see some tweaking done on Kristoph to bring his Tradeskill benefits up to par if not better than Brightfire though, but otherwise looking good!

For the final quest "The Scrivener's Tale", the quest book to help you locate him does not show on the fancy new Myrist map. (He has the quest book over his head, it just isn't showing on the minimap. Later, when you return with signatures, Ghida's quest book pops up on the minimap properly, it is just the Scrivener being unhelpful)

[Niami DenMother]

[Feedback]Now that the TS line is down to nigglies, and we've got many folks doing the line at once, I am seeing that the chunk in Doomfire is going to be brutal on the low levels. Not only the step with the bag around all the super-aggro wasps (yes, I know there's a purchase option, but some will find that spendy), but the harvesting. <br /> <br />There's a LOT of materials needed that currently need to be harvested in Doomfire and only Doomfire. As soon as you have more than a couple folks harvesting in there for the quest, much less for their own uses, getting those several hundred units of mats for the beds is going to be brutally hard for low level folks. There's too much needed, and not enough nodes in non-aggro spots for the sort of lawnmowing that will be needed on the harvesting front.<br /> <br />Perhaps the bag spawns can be moved to the ground, in amidst the zone art bags? And for the harvesting, since I expect you won't want to change the amounts needed for one reason or another, could the Doomfire-only restriction be removed, so folks can harvest in any of the 4 zones? Otherwise, some folks may be looking at an hour or more (and several deaths), just on the harvesting for bed materials step.

I agree with Niami on the amount of nodes being increased in certain areas like the fire zone. I also want to mention the aggro range of a lot of the mobs. I am on an adv/tradeskiller toon in there and he can hold his own but I know there are pure tradeskillers out there that might have a lot more trouble than I am. Right now it is just frustrating trying to harvest a node for the quest in there and a mob that seems like it is far enough away suddenly attacks. As I am fighting him, his friends decide to come over. I live through it but not sure others will. So please look at the aggro range for mobs such as the basilisks in the fire zone. They love to invite their friends in for the fight.

Running a second toon through the timeline and I encountered an interesting bug while attempting to complete TST: Copper for a Tale. I thought I would save time and I summoned a stove and keg near Recipes for Adventure. I had all the ingredients but when I attempted to make the Indestructible Cookies, the combine would not start and I got the following message:<br />The components you selected are invalid. Trade skill process halted.<br /> <br />I presumed it was an issue with the summoned crafting station so I ran down to the stove in the commissary and I got the same message. I camped out and back in. The issue persisted. <br /> <br />Finally I reasoned that the message indicated something was wrong with my ingredients. I noted that I had a stack of 800 and a stack of 6 wandervine fruit and the recipe (which has 2 wandervine and 6 wandervine as separate ingredients) was taking 2 and 6 from the stack of 6. I messed with trying to force the recipe to choose from the stack of 800 but eventually just deleted the stack of 6 and the combine progressed and I got the cookies!

I tried to reproduce the problems with the Nilborien Illusion and the mount with the second character I ran through the TS signature. I didn't have the djinn illusion on this guy which is the only difference I can think of between this toon and the previous character who had the issue with the illusion and her mount. When I cast the Nilborien illusion, he did not change appearance but he couldn't fly either so I had to remount. I turned off hide illusions and he still looked like his handsome elven self. I messed with recasting the illusion a few times and every time I had to remount but he never took on the illusion. He finished the quest so all is good. Too bad I couldn't tell if he flew a bit dorky. He could however mount and dismount after using the illusion. Also, I am sure I could find the illusion in the maintained spells on the first character. Try as I might, I could not find an icon indicating he had the illusion.

nilborien skyhunter in Eryslai, the kingdom of wind seem to have been hanging out with the basilisks that others are complaining about their agro range is anything less then 30' which is a stark contrast to anything you normally deal with that is more like less than 20 or in some cases 10'.

Difficulties Delivering: 2nd-hand report x 2. Apparently some folks stand in *just* the wrong spot when talking to Zuvet after polishing the monument, and end up with the bag of shards pinning them in place, requiring an evac or other port in order to get themselves unstuck. (The bag plops down for you to try, and fail to grab, and if you're standing in the right/wrong spot it then blocks you from moving. 2 folks in chat mentioned it the other night, but naturally, didn't post.)

The Scrivener's Tale: The Proof of Power. When I put on the illusion I lose speed dramatically. Not sure if that is supposed to happen.

[Gninja]

I got the illusion figured out (Shoutout: With a little halp from Caith!) Hope to get it applied to beta asap. Btw... The illusion will now be a permanent item you can keep. You will still only be able to use it in that specific zone though.

[Miragian]

I finished "The Scrivener's Tale: The Proof of Power." yesterday and had the same experience, massive reduction in speed. I was at base %25 until I thought to use my earring and then I think I was at 75%. Rather than the 150 or more I was use to. which would have been fine except that i made (and case) the illusion no where near where it was needed. So it took a while to get around.

[Whilhelmina]

YAY ! I BROKE A QUEST ! *dances the happy dance*<br /> <br />hum<br /> <br />So<br /> <br />Breaking quests is a must in beta, heh! There's not a lot of quests where you need to gather specific stuff during a step then have to craft said stuff, so I thought I would try and fail some crafts.<br /> <br /><b>The Scrivener's Tale: The Reach of the Ivy</b><br />I gathered all the pottery parts, then went on to FAIL the craft on third bar on the step "Craft the pottery". I only got one of the shard of broken pottery back. I still have 2 vials of sticky sap in store as it only uses one, but the quest requires 3 shards of broken pottery, so I'm missing 2 and there's no pottery to smash around anymore. None of the NPC gives me back some shards and the bag next to Temry is not clickable either. So I'm stuck.<br /> <br />I deleted the quest and took it back. I had only 1 vial and 2 potteries to collect (it counted what I already had in inventory)<br />I had to destroy the extra recipe-book from inventory.<br /> <br />On turn in, Temry Loneivy in Vegarlson still only has a feather and not a book above his head.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><b>The Scrivener's Tale: Followup Friendships</b><br />The journal still says "Catalog Entry I: ???". I don't remember if it was intended or not from previous discussions here.<br /> <br /><b>The Scrivener's Tale: Back to the Library. Shhh!</b><br />Cookie is obviously still hidden with no book on the map (even if he has one above his head)<br /> <br /><b>The Scrivener's Tale: A Crafter's Plea</b><br />Perhaps it would be best to bring up the whisp to Xegony's altar AFTER the craft as it disappears once the craft updates (and the table is at the zone entrance)

[SgtPmpkn]

<b>The Scrivener's Tale: The Proof of Power</b><br />Maybe its just me but after I crafted the illusion spell i was looking for the item in my inventory. I didnt see it, until I read the text saying it was placed in my "mount window"??? It seems out of place to be there, so wanted to know if this is a bug or not. Also when trying to put it on through the mount window it is only allowed in the Plane of Air which is fine, but just isn't very intuitive post crafting.<br /> <br />Just my opinion.

[Whilhelmina]

<b>The Scrivener's Tale: The Proof of Power</b><br />Quest doesn't really work or it needs more explanations. I crafted the illusion then proceeded to go to the Aerie before casting it (because of the speed drop). When I arrived at the Aerie and clicked the quest helper (by the way I see only one illusion now and not the "5" at the bottom right) I got the message "You may only use items in your inventory.".<br />I thought it was because I zoned from one place to the other so I went back to the entrance, cracked a progress pot (that combo is a tad long to do) and recrafted it and got the same message. Re-recrafted it and that time I spotted the "[Celestial Nilborien Illusion] was placed in your mount window" line.<br /> <br />And yeah, here where my 3 "illusions" and I could mount one and got turned into a Nilborien (I'm sooo sexy right now!).<br /> <br />So it works really well but you might want to drop the "clicky button" in the quest helper and specify "use the illusion from your mount inventory". Or give the ability to cast the mount without equipping it in mount (or clicking icon/macro will switch to "equip said mount" which would be very useful btw). But it's not really easy to understand in the current state.<br /> <br /> <br /><b>The Scrivener's Tale</b><br />The Scrivener doesn't have a quest feather/book on the map for the first step and we don't really know where he is if we're a crafter. We were never introduced, so it might be nice to have a pointer.<br /> <br /> <br />New spot for Alamiri is perfect !

So, when I crafted the illusion, it appeared as a mask with a 5 in the lower right corner in my backpack, I drug it to a hotbar button and went from there. But yes the speed decrease seemed excessive. I stopped, dropped my mount and all speed buffs, then resummoned my mount and recast my speed buffs and that seemed to make it almost right again.

[Gninja]

In order to allow the illusion to fly it has to be cast from the mount window. for something to be able to be clicked from the helper it has to be in inventory (not mount window) so I can only do one or the other. <br /> <br />I will check on the speed difference but it should be giving you the default flying speed. (150 I believe)

[BUGs, minor, 2] The Reach of Ivy<br /> <br />1) quest still requires that you collect 3 sap, but only uses one of the sap in the recipe. Leftover vials of sap remain in inventory after you are finished with the quest.<br />2) When you "Speak to Temry Loneivy in Vegarlson" on first entering the zone, he has a quest feather over his head instead of a quest book.<br /> <br /> <br />And for the record, even though this is my 9th run through the TS line, I'm still getting grins out of the stray bits of humor in the line. FOR SCIENCE!

[Niami DenMother]

[BUG, minor] Rockin' n Knockin'<br /> <br />If you have to camp after coating your gear with the pollen before you check on the arborians, the hidden flag that makes the arborians non-aggro disappears. This may be a bit of a rude surprise for some folks. <img src="/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="BigGrin" /><br /> <br />I coated my gear, then had to check something on an alt for someone asking questions in discord, then hopped back and the arborians were aggro but updated the quest. Deleted and re-obtained the quest to test that this wasn't a rencent change to the line and they were nonaggro. Yep, this really is minor, but since some squishy will find it out the hard way, I figured I'd best report it in.

Some of the NPCs arent going to show a feather/book on the map but might show it over their heads. I'm not sure there is a way to fix this because they do not use the normal quest offer/update system. It has to be scripted sometimes when you have two NPCs talking at same time.

Proof of Power<br /> <br />Speed is 150 now after patch today not 20, thank you for that <br /> <br />The quest is now very confusing as clicky option in the quest window does nothing, but says it will click the illusion from your inventory but when you look in inventory there is nothing there<br /> <br />There was nothing to suggest that a mount / mount window is involved.

[Anatha]

Ok enough is enough. I am working on The Scrivener's Tale: Difficulties Delivering and trying to get the strange bag, which is right by some young fire wasps that no matter what I do, I aggro and they insta-kill me. I know I can go see an NPC in zone and buy the bag from someone but, yes, that is a pain. Please move the bag so it is nowhere near the darn wasps!<br /> <br />I am on a tradeskill alt, BTW. She is wearing the gear from the box at the beginning part of the library.

This is probably a pipe dream but I might as well put it out there!<br /> <br />While doing the beta crafting timelines, I haven't dared to use my harvesting outfits because they make characters pretty squishy. It occurred to me that it would be really nice to have a way to equip harvesting/trade skill gear without disturbing our adventuring gear. We already have appearance gear equipped with our adventuring gear. How nice it would be to reward our previous endeavors in trade skills by having a special place to keep items equipped and save the layouts (ie crafting vs harvesting) like we do for appearance and adventuring outfits! (Insert sound track of Aerosmith's <i>Dream On. <img src="/images/smilies/wink.gif" alt="Wink" /> )</i><br /> <br />Afterthought (Dream big?): Perhaps there could be a way to toggle appearance between crafting gear and adventuring gear if no items were equipped as appearance items.......

[Katzandra]

Dear sweet, kind, considerate and thoughtful Gninja, can we please have some dewpalm lumber nodes in Doomfire, the Burning Lands fall to the ground where they are not being guarded by nasty waspies and the hordes of young fire wasps???<br />The only ones I seem to be able to track are really tricky grabs for less well developed 110 adventurers in beta gear. My adventuring alts have no trouble killing and surviving the dang things but its irksome with the mostly tradeskill alts.<img src="/images/smilies/cool.gif" alt="Cool" /><br />Having some lumber tumble into the cemetery area would be really nice!<br /> <br />Wow I found some lumber on the ground! (Methinks it gets snapped up quickly when its accessible!)

And of course I am sure most of us have shown up to raid in crafting gear. In my fantasy, only trade skilling items could be equipped in the new window and no adventuring stats would be added from the area. I know this is a pipe dream and not likely to be implemented, but its a shame to have a pack full of clever gear that isn't as useful as it might be. This really was just something to throw out there that occurred to me during beta testing. I figured it could go in the scrap pile or the suggestions list as warranted. <br /> <br />It really hasn't been as big of an issue before this expansion. In PoP, I could easily wear my crafting outfits on my main characters and be confident that their merc could protect them. In this expansion, my raid toon died while harvesting in her harvesting gear with her merc up. That never happened before...........so it is a bit of a beta issue!

<b><span style="text-decoration: underline">Quest:</span> The Scrivener's Tale: The Proof of Power</b><br />Questgiver: Recipes for Adventure<br /> <br />(1) Adding the /cry instruction explicitly to the quest journal text is too much hand-holding, I think. I'd rather see the Recipes for Adventure book repeat the line "<b>CRY</b> out to Xegony!" several times, with CRY really emphasized.<br /> <br />(2) The instructions about using the Celestial Nilborien Illusion from the mount window are clear and easily followed.<br /> <br />(3) The Celestial Nilborien Illusion does nothing except provide a flying mount that can't be overridden by your appearance mount. It does NOT make you non-aggro from, say, real nilboriens.Why even bother with it at all, period?<br /> <br />(3A) Why even bother making the Celestial Nilborien Illusion a mount? Yeah, if we go flying off on our regular mount, the illusion disappears, but while we're standing on the ground, an illusion would show up, right?<br /> <br />(3B) Suggestion: wearing the Celestial Nilborien Illusion should make you safe from aggro, and the illusion should break if you try to engage in combat, harvest, etc. while using it... whether it remains a as mount or reverts to a true illusion.<br /> <br />(3B) While I was over here typing out this feedback, the mount dismounted me and shut itself off. If its gonna do that, there should be a timer up in the top of the quest journal HUD counting down how long you have exactly before the illusion shuts off in bold red numbers. Yes, the maintained window has that info, but who checks on mount timers? Normal mounts don't expire in 15 minutes! If it's a mount, it should stay active until you unequip it. If it's an illusion, 15 minutes is fine. But if it's a 15 minute mount, then that timer should be in your face, because otherwise it's going to expire on some people while they are flying because they took a bio or otherwise dawdled before flying off in it.

The merchant Oleene in the Smith's Gallery needs to be stationary. It is very difficult to scroll through a shop list to find what you need if the merchant up and wanders away and the shop window closes because she wanders out of range. She is needed to purchase Prepared Malachite Shards at the beginning of the tradeskill line.

I'm guessing that the pack pony appearance is a feature in-progress.<br /> <br />I logged in on one of my folks who has finished the TS line, and her pack pony, which had been a normal pony (she didn't have the alternate appearance for the PoP pony, as she's not done the PoP crafting line) and I have a lovely pack snail labeled as a pack pony. I love him! But when I tried to check out if the toggling worked for him, I did the toggle appearance, and it turned into the purple/pink/blue PoP pony ... and stayed there, no matter how many times I selected the toggle appearance option. Gone was the white pack pony, gone was the snail with packages on top of his shell ... just the PoP appearance.<br /> <br />I relogged and the snail is back. It is very confused!<br /> <br />I have to admit, it is giving me more of a giggle than it probably should to get a "*whinny*" response from hailing a snail!

Quest reward: Instructedible Cookie Recipe ... this scribes into "Instructedible Cookie" in your recipe book. However, since the quest combine recipes don't delete from your recipe book when you're done with the quest, you will end up with two "Instructedible Cookie" recipes in your book. If you're sleepily retesting stuff at after 2 a.m., you just might end up making the wrong one. /innocent whistle<br /> <br />Meanwhile, what does it do? The effects when you examine it says "Applies Edible Instructable when Activated" with no explanation of what that entails.

It should also be noted that a fresh alt who did the entire TS line tonight (but who did not do the PoP crafting line) cannot change the appearance of her pack pony to the pack snail appearance. I'm not sure if that's been pulled from being a reward while it is being fixed, or if she's just got problems because the ability to change your pony appearance came first from the PoP crafting line, and her pony isn't smart enough to learn how to do it on his own.<br /> <br />She is able to talk to the guild harvesters and get the (currently bugged) new harvesting quests, at least, so that part of the flagging is working.

[Arieva]

Was I the only one extremely disappointed to see the final reward was "another" item that summons a fuel merchant. Recycling rewards from old TS content....I think reward wise I was more excited about the 88 slot bag personally.

[doit]

Im sure many recent alts or even new players appreciate the fact that you get a item that summons a fuel merchant without having to do very old content..<br /> <br />everyone wins..<br />old players get something new also...new bag..and maybe the new final reward has better stats than old version?

[Mermut]

Side note:<br />There is no monetary reward for the various steps of the TS line.. so crafters are <i>losing</i> plat on every quest due to fuel cost.....

Fixed the pack pony for tomorrow's update. It should toggle better now and remember choice on zoning.

The Scrivener's Tale: Difficulties Delivering<br />some of the possible spawn pts for 'a strange bag' are not accessible w/o aggro<br />/waypoint 86.18, 58.96, 274.36 is one such location.

[Niami DenMother]

The new reward for Incumbent Incubation "Mourndax V'Zeaar" does not yet have art. Trying to preview it gives you the message that you need to patch. (35 rent status reduction seems like a really odd number to use, too)

Domino made sure of that as she designed her lines. I don't see why going back to do the line that gave the fuel vendor would have been any kind of drag to someone who hasn't done it yet. Its not even that old of content.3 expacs prior? Now maybe some hardcore crafters have use for a second fuel merchant being available. I've never needed more than one an hour myself. Just my 2c.

Both the fluff rewards (hat and consumable illusion) are no-trade and no commission.<br />I sort of understand the hat, though the appearance isn't unique.<br />I wonder about the illusion though. Is there a reason it is both no-trade and no commission?

Build 14359<br /> <br />Pack snail issue - Pack pony loses snail appearance on zoning for characters who did not do the PoP crafting line.

I was aggroed by a wasp while placing the beds for the quest The Scrivener's Tale: Incumbent Incubation around the last spot (133, 37, 248 ). Could it be possible to make sure that there are no wasps around that place?<br />She spawned just above the house for last bed (121, 48, 250 ) and can't be avoided at all.
