Advanced Journeyman quest/thaumaturgy bugs

Oakleafe · 10-28-2008, 03:59 PM

I decided not to progress the trade skill quest I'd been stuck on (general lack of grandmasters!) earlier, mainly due to a suspicion that the "gnombies" would be lurking-in-wait around the fae newbie bank! Instead I picked up a toon (necromancer, figured I could be in zombie+moppet mode and sneak by!) that had started the Advanced Journeyman quest in the Sinking Sands.

In making the Bert's book recipes I had to use thaumaturgy. Thaumaturgy at my alts level (54) is bugged in the same manner that the armourers reaction arts are bugged at certain levels; i.e. a successful reaction art does not guarantee a successful set of results.

I know that the QA folk and the devs have had a hard time replicating the armourer bug (still wish I had their RNG relationship!) so reporting it here in case they can use thaumaturgy & this quest to see what folks have been complaining about.

I have /bug'd this in the past btw, so no-one needs to advise me to do that.

/Gnombie have a firm "two braaaiinnnss a day" limit from the Zombie Queens, happily snores from a feral, bloodly little ball hidden on some unnamed thread, sleeping off the coma from eating today's brraaiiinss quota. "ZZzzz, arrrggzzz, zzzzrrrr..."

Just completed the level 35 Tradeskill quest (checking the briarwood for pests) and can confirm that the thaumaturgy arts are still bugged. i.e. a successful reaction art does not guarantee a successful set of results (including the chance of Critical failure!).

I have problems in making the "energy drink" from Berts book too. 53 sage and 51 illusionist

It said that the skill is thaumaturgy, but the crafting events, like "explosive" and "highly explosive" are not countered by any of my 3 types of thaumaturgy actions, making it very difficult to finish the energy drink.Did not have any problems some weaks ago, with my other character, Koami, which was around 60 alchemist.How does one counter these thaumaturgy events?

I think we got this bug and it should be fixed on Test next time Test is updated, and live with the upcoming game update.
