[BUG] Shipwrecked!

Niami DenMother · 10-26-2014, 03:05 PM

Build 11463

After today's patch, this quest arrived in email, and there are a couple things wrong with it.

1) The mail offers you the "Shipwrecked!" quest. Accept it and it tells you to place the bottle in your home and read the message. However, there is no bottle provided.
2) The reward is a recipe scroll for level 2 artisans called "Blessing of the Prime". The recipe book has 0 recipes in it.

Niami DenMother · 10-26-2014, 09:24 PM

Some of what is in today's patch notes did not go in. The following was in the notes, but does NOT fix the problem with the bottle not being obtained. I'm guessing next build ... maybe?

.

Skaw · 10-26-2014, 09:25 PM

Agreed.
And in trying to make it work, I deleted the mail ... didn't get a resend.

Calthine · 10-27-2014, 04:24 AM

The quest is level 5, which seems unusual given the level of the expansion.

brokenshieldd · 10-27-2014, 02:27 PM

I just got this quest today.because I couldn't get on the other day.I had recipe in my mail No bottle the recipe was called Blessing of the prime lvl 2 recipe. I can't find any bottle in my bags and I can't find the recipe either.

Xianthia · 10-27-2014, 02:32 PM

Me too on not being able to get in on Sunday. This is where I'm at on the quest.

Ranga · 10-27-2014, 04:26 PM

Yes, same problem for me. I hope this gets fixed quickly, I have taken a day off tomorrow to test and have 3 TS classes ready to start it Smile

Please fix.

Domino · 10-27-2014, 05:54 PM

This is not an expansion-related quest. This is just a new lower level questline that anybody can get regardless of whether they purchased the expansion.

Will check that pesky bottle now!

Domino · 10-27-2014, 06:13 PM

Apparently the message in a bottle did not, in fact, get added yet. I've fixed that and the mail should get re-sent when it gets to beta.

Also, not sure what happened to the update note for this questline but it was supposed to read:

An additional tradeskill questline has been added which is not tied to the Altar of Malice expansion. This questline is intended to grant some consumable recipes that should be useful at any level, and to guide new players towards more information about game features and other tradeskill quests. To start the questline, check your in-game mail once you reach tradeskill level 5. An additional quest will be offered each tier ending at 100, for 11 quests in total. The final consumable recipe rewards are not yet attached but the quests are ready for testing.

So yes, the recipe reward books are currently all empty of recipes, Caith will be adding the recipes in when he has time. But no reason the quests themselves can't be tested... once that message in a bottle shows up anyway! Smile

Niami DenMother · 10-27-2014, 07:29 PM

Just to be clear when I start writing my fingers off - not tied to the expansion, but likely to get released at the same time?

Thanks!

Domino · 10-27-2014, 10:15 PM

Yep, unless something is horribly unfixably broken, it'll go live with the expansion also. Smile

Domino · 10-27-2014, 10:16 PM

You will need to wait until we patch beta again - likely a day or two, as I said the mail should resend once it updates to add the bottle.

Lodrelhai · 10-27-2014, 11:31 PM

Just fyi, when I saw the message and quest last night (and it's level), I completely missed that the reward was a recipe book and thought that maybe the bottle was actually supposed to be one we had sent before being rescued by the FSTC - the original IoR start. I'd hoped maybe the bottle would actually temporally warp us back to then!

krizet · 10-28-2014, 08:17 AM

Still no bottle after deleting the quest, and re-reading from mail.

Calthine · 10-28-2014, 08:57 AM

Thanks!

Shmogre · 10-29-2014, 05:32 PM

Hiya Domino...just logged in and got the newly resent mail, but still no bottle attached. I deleted the first mail and reopened the new one, but no joy.

I'll try zoning and see if that wakes up the Norrathian Postmaster...maybe he just needed some coffee or jumjum juice. :^)

UPDATE: No joy after zoning. If it helps, I tried on another toon, and no bottle there either. On the first, I opened my mail out in the world; second, I used an actual mailbox in case that was the problem...same result: no bottle.

Domino · 10-29-2014, 06:06 PM

Did you actually add the quest? It's accepting the quest that should add the bottle.

Niami DenMother · 10-29-2014, 06:49 PM

I received the bottle after accepting the quest, though I had to rummage since I'd forgotten that alt had quest items going in a different bag. Love the graphic!

(Edit: Though, as I suspect you already know, we're all being dumped to the same zone, then getting booted out for exceeding the zone limits BigGrin

)

Lizabethan · 10-29-2014, 06:58 PM

Placed the bottle in my house, teleported to the Shipwrecked! zone and immediately got the message "you will be kicked from this zone in approximately 10 seconds" for being over capacity. It was just Mum and I in there! Too many halflings policy? BigGrin

Bug report sent in, as well.

Calthine · 10-29-2014, 07:17 PM

I think I'll test this later in the day when the land rush is off Smile

brokenshieldd · 10-29-2014, 07:41 PM

Yeah same here for me looks like you can only have one person in the zone. at a time. But you have No ideal how many people are there in till you zone in.

Shmogre · 10-29-2014, 11:32 PM

A quick follow-up to my earlier post: it was my bad. I deleted the original mail, but didn't delete the original quest itself, so it wasn't re-offered.

Deleting the old quest then reading the mail again did the right thing, and my bottle is now safely in hand.

Canth · 10-30-2014, 01:03 AM

It appears to be intended as a solo instance but everyone is in the same instance. Makes it kind of interesting to try to do a step before being kicked out.

Finora · 10-30-2014, 03:34 AM

As others said, today I got the bottle & the quest just fine. However, I did get the instance kick because there were two other people already in there with me.

Kuulei · 10-30-2014, 05:08 AM

I take it the "oops" is either making it a "solo instance" and we all create our own instance (which it currently isn't doing) Eek

Or it wasn't meant to be a solo instance and they need to up the number allowed in the zone Tongue

Domino · 10-30-2014, 06:26 PM

It should be a solo instance, fixed that yesterday so it should show up tomorrow or Saturday I'm guessing! Smile

Elinea · 10-31-2014, 12:43 AM

Went in today, and had no issue completing Shipwrecked. Maybe I was the only one in there, as I didn't see anyone else. I followed the next quest in the line (Castaway) and ran into problems at the end of it. I sent in a bug report, but here it is as well:

At the end of the quest Castaway, I make two Globe of Homecoming spells and give one to Raffik. The end dialogue, he says, "But goodbyes for now." and the quest ends with a 5 silver reward. There is no exit from the island, and the globe of homecoming is a scroll with no actual recipe attached. I scribed it, but nothing went into my recipe book, and the rubble that I clicked on to take me out to Enchanted Lands at the end of the first quest (Shipwrecked) was no longer there. I have to use call to home or guild hall to get off the island. Raffik still stands there, but says nothing to me.

Elinea · 10-31-2014, 01:24 AM

Continuing the quest line, I'm finding a few minor things that I'm sure will be fixed.
1. Quest: Piratical Fashion - the reward recipe, Harvester's Balm, is an empty scroll, no recipe for my book.
2. Quest: Adorning the Pirate - the reward recipe, Mutagenic Essence, is an empty scroll, no recipe for my book.
3. Quest: Encompassing Goal - haven't finished it yet, was in the middle of harvesting the raws when a server down was imminent, so logged out. However, this quest starts in Steamfont, but asks for raw materials from the next tier (Sinking Sands, etc.). Not sure if that is intended. Previously, I was using the raw materials harvested in the zone the quest was given in.

Will continue testing later, after raid tonight.

Niami DenMother · 10-31-2014, 01:33 AM

You don't need to report the empty scrolls. As per Domino, the recipes aren't made yet and will be done later. Smile

Niami DenMother · 10-31-2014, 02:27 AM

I know that this isn't part of the expansion, so the recipe-making is likely on or near the bottom of the priority pile. However, when Caith does squeeze in time to work on them, here's a consistency-check on the scrolls those recipes go in, for some other needed tweaking. (we have everything from no-value to lore, no trade no-value, no-destroy)

Blessing of the Prime, level 2 - no-value
Globe of Homecoming, level 100 - no-trade, no-value (should be level 10 to scribe, comes from level 10 quest)
Harvester's Balm, level 30 - lore, no-trade, no-value (should be level 20 from level 20 quest)
Mutagenic Essence, level 30 - lore, no-trade, no-value, no-destroy
Bulwark of Zek, level 40 - lore, no-value
Henchman Adornment Pack, level 50 - lore, no-trade, no value
Coldain Cure-All, level 60 - lore, no-value
Charm of Expertise, level 70 - lore, no-trade, no-value
Potion of Nimble Fingers, level 90 - lore, no-trade, no-value (should be level 80 to scribe, comes from level 80 quest)
Essence of the Zephyr, level 90 - lore, no-trade, no-value (is the quest version of the scroll, not the reward version of the scroll, so has the "you have already scribed..." message, and contains the quest recipe. The recipe, mind you, also uses the level 80-89 fuel with level 90-95 resources. I believe this recipe scroll should have deleted from the recipe book at the end of the level 90 quest?)
Brew of Readiness - Lore, No-Trade, No-Value
