Concerning Fuels are Forever, for me the quest updated after I went back to the heroic zone and picked up a second gear. Both gears were consumed while making the fuels,

Katzandra · 10-30-2015, 06:58 AM

I decided it was faster to start the timeline than it would be to wait for a response. At some point Ethan appeared in the bar and I could finish the quest. I forgot to check inside the bar when I brought the anchor back to Captain Ethan. But on my way to deliver some goods, it occurred to me to check to see if Ethan was in the bar. Both Captain Ethan and Ethan are visible as I haven't got far enough for Ethan to become lost.

Niami DenMother · 10-30-2015, 10:41 AM

Yep!

[BUG] Quest: For Your Eyes Only. The "A gnemlin thug" follows you to the healing area, does not take damage, and keeps on hitting you until you flee or evac. (Thank goodness for warden evac!)

[BUG - minor] For Your Eyes Only. "Prototype viewfinder" was not removed from inventory after the above thug-mugging, nor was it removed at quest handin.

Jrel · 10-30-2015, 02:23 PM

Ah, never mind. I was doing the wrong quest on my tradeskiller.

Domino · 10-30-2015, 05:27 PM

Where in the city did he ambush you?

Domino · 10-30-2015, 05:30 PM

As noted in the original post, Captain Ethan will be converted during beta to requiring completing "The Captain's Lament" to see him. That change just went in, so if you haven't completed "The Captain's Lament" you will no longer be able to see him. However, the beta buffer Oliver should now offer and complete "The Captain's Lament" for you so try talking to him.

Domino · 10-30-2015, 05:31 PM

There are more fixes in as of this morning, and hoping for another update by Saturday to add a few more. (Update notes)

Akina_Storms · 10-30-2015, 06:26 PM

same here, one day after the first try, going back to ash district and taking a second gear update the quest.

Akina_Storms · 10-30-2015, 06:33 PM

on for your eyes only, i've been ambushed, i've been TP to the healer section, but my mercenaries is trying to kill a gnemling thug somewhere in the wall.and when i recall it, the gnemling thug fight me...

10-30-2015, 11:18 PM

In "Scuttling to Safety", a scuttler pupa shows the "bag" icon, indicating that it is a target for beetle trapping. This is incorrect, you can't trap these guys, therefore they should not have bag icons.

Elowith · 10-30-2015, 11:40 PM

So, I did the crafting timeline early, and did not get the Underfoot Defender step update (I just killed the rats in the den, and couldn't go back to get the fur). All other quests are done, and I doomed on completing all the quests credit?

Lodrelhai · 10-31-2015, 12:30 AM

It's not just the pupa. Every scuttler I saw had the icon on it, but only the armored ones are trapable.

[bug] Malduran Mouths to Feed - Quartermaster Lysslyn gives the quest dialogue for turning this quest in whether or not you have made the food required. Doesn't actually complete the quest, so it's purely cosmetic, but still...

Lodrelhai · 10-31-2015, 01:43 AM

Less a bug than an inconsistency, but after completing Monitoring Maldura and A Cure for Maldura respectively, the recipes for the Mana Battery and the Scanner Readings Progress Report remain in the recipe book. I realize this might be intentional since they are daily quests so the recipes will be needed again, but if that's the case then we should also keep the potion and food recipes for the other dailies. Though I would prefer all the recipes go away when not needed.

Domino · 10-31-2015, 03:06 AM

A few more fixes should make it into the update later tonight, and more to come next week! Thanks for all the help testing Smile

10-31-2015, 03:45 AM

Question on the fertilizer bits: are the various fertilizer-eating guys going to get another tier or two of shinies?

10-31-2015, 05:38 AM

In the quest "Fire Striker", I saw only two chert nodules near the start of the Glittervein Depths. There might need to be more, or there will be a humungeous bottleneck at launch.

Also in the quest "You Only Test Twice", the aITEM 1863841547 467823028 0 0 0:[Explosive Hammer Prototype]/a shows as level 30. Shouldn't that be level 100?

10-31-2015, 06:30 AM

In the quest "The Man with the Tinkered Eye", the quest box has, "Charles Q Tinkersmith continues his attempts to establish a special research branch for gnemlin research. Unfortunately, all his prototypes were left behind when his research lab was overtaken by the immolated, He's asked me to go in and retrieve some prototype eyepieces and spare lenses."

There's research redundancy. I'd suggest a change to: "Charles Q Tinkersmith continues his attempts to establish a special gnemlin research branch...."

Niami DenMother · 10-31-2015, 08:56 AM

The hallway outside Tinkersmith's area - I'd grabbed the quest, walked out to the hallway and *boom* ... then he ported with me to the healer section.

10-31-2015, 02:07 PM

Could you add 500 more Deepforge Founders faction (2500 in total) to the Daily Tradeskill Quests please, that would be great.

Canth · 10-31-2015, 02:19 PM

Would it be possible to have an option on Gwynvyn to get all of the available quests at once like the adventure guys do? I know it's a nit and you guys are incredibly busy. Just a thought............

10-31-2015, 09:28 PM

In the quest "Fuels Are Forever", the quest box has, "Tinkersmith continues his ambitious plans to found a new research branch for gnemlin research. He's working on a powered viewfinder prototype and needs some liquid fuel, which he believes I can make if I obtain the necessary ingredients. "

There's research redundancy. I'd suggest a change to: "Tinkersmith continues his ambitious plans to found a new gnemlin research branch...."

10-31-2015, 10:11 PM

In my logs I see:

(1446266595)[Fri Oct 30 23:43:15 2015] Fire Striker
I assisted Tinkersmith by gathering the necessary supplies and assembling the explosive hammer prototype according to his blueprints.
I gathered the amadou, chert, and splitiron ore.
I gathered the amadou
I gathered chert nodules
I mined some fresh splitiron ore
I created the experimental hammer prototype
I created the explosive hammer prototype
[DEVL] INVALID - No progress texts specified
I brought the experimental hammer prototype back to Tinkersmith

And another one:

(1446325266)[Sat Oct 31 16:01:06 2015] Fuels Are Forever
I ventured into the District of Ash and obtained a powerful solvent, some coal, and also a spare gear for Tinkersmith's powered viewfinder prototype. I was able to use the high pressure steam tank to convert the coal and solvent into a very potent liquid fuel.
I obtained the coal, solvent, and a spare gear as per Tinkersmith's instructions
I created liquid fuel
I created liquid fuel
[DEVL] INVALID - No progress texts specified
I returned to Tinkersmith with the gear and the liquid fuel

10-31-2015, 10:16 PM

When I completed the quest "For Your Eyes Only, the "Prototype Viewfinder" (aITEM 554443375 1451854718 0 0 0:[Prototype Viewfinder]/a) was not removed from my inventory.

Also, as I was standing near Tinkersmith minding my own business (having just accepted the quest "For Your Eyes Only", this happened:

(1446325351)[Sat Oct 31 16:02:31 2015] Maasta is hit by Disorientation for 5985 heat damage.

. . . (17x Maasta was hit etc.)

(1446325369)[Sat Oct 31 16:02:49 2015] Maasta is hit by Disorientation for 5276 heat damage.

(1446325404)[Sat Oct 31 16:03:24 2015] Rapante was interrupted!

(1446325572)[Sat Oct 31 16:06:12 2015] YOU are hit by Disorientation for 1425 heat damage.

(1446325572)[Sat Oct 31 16:06:12 2015] YOUR Defensive Haven absorbs 1479 points of damage from being done to Disaster.

(1446325572)[Sat Oct 31 16:06:12 2015] Disaster is hit by Disorientation for 860 heat damage.

(1446325572)[Sat Oct 31 16:06:12 2015] Xigris is hit by Disorientation for 1425 heat damage.

(1446325573)[Sat Oct 31 16:06:13 2015] YOU are hit by Disorientation for 1425 heat damage.

(1446325573)[Sat Oct 31 16:06:13 2015] Disaster is hit by Disorientation for 2340 heat damage.

(1446325573)[Sat Oct 31 16:06:13 2015] Xigris is hit by Disorientation for 1425 heat damage.

(1446325574)[Sat Oct 31 16:06:14 2015] YOU are hit by Disorientation for 1425 heat damage.

(The hits continued until I went up the lift to the Forge of Brell)

So what's up with that?

11-01-2015, 09:07 AM

I have completed All but Assay of Origin in the Tradeskill Timeline but now that I realize I need this I have no way to get the quest back.
In VoS Captain Ethan Dariani has nothing for me and Trader Cylianna is missing. Help

Kaladz · 11-02-2015, 12:08 AM

Quest: You Only Test Twice

After crafting the "target clockwork" and placing it, I accidentally killed the clockwork instead of using the explosive hammer on it. This left the quest incompletable. When deleting the quest and restarting it, the clockwork still didn't seem to want to appear. It ended up spawning a few minutes later but not sure if that was because someone else was on the same quest in that area.

Elinea · 11-02-2015, 03:18 AM

Started the tradeskill timeline on a new toon, and everything went smooth until I got to the new zone. Forgot about the fact that this toon doesn't have faction, so when I landed in Outer Maldura and had to go fetch some fibrous roots, BAM ran straight into a guard who promptly pummeled me, at level 100. Revived, and the respawn point was right near a topaz shrieker, so got attacked again at the revive spot. This toon can handle being beat on by the bat, but a low level toon won't survive.

11-02-2015, 06:33 AM

Seen

Had same problem with by level 42 warden/100 alchemist non adventuring crafters will have a hard go at some of quests.

11-02-2015, 07:06 AM

I did it just fine on a low level. There had been far more death while I did AoM lol! It's part of the adventure, I think Smile

11-02-2015, 08:36 AM

Quest: The Man With the Tinkered Eye

Issue: clicking on the crystal generator thingee reactivates all the clockworks making the quest fairly difficult to complete Smile

I suppose I could wait the 3 days for them to reset but seems a bit excessive.....maybe add a deactivator near the door or move the dead guys outside the range those those of us who are too curious for our own good.

Lodrelhai · 11-02-2015, 09:04 AM

I think the major issue is there's a hostile mob within aggro range of the respawn point. Yes the area can generally be navigated with a flying mount, but one mistake will put a low adv/high crafter in a death loop from hell.
