The Scrivener's Tale: Tradeskill Signature Questline Feedback - Page 9

11-01-2018, 10:38 PM

Yep, exactly. I couldn't see any more potteries to gather on the crafting quest stage.

11-02-2018, 12:10 AM

I found some down the hall even on the sign in desk. They are tricksy and don't want to be crushed.

Quest: The Scrivener's Tale: Pollination Perfection

The Tincture of Bark Recipe (aITEM 1808718470 -1093929126:Tincture of Bark Recipe/a) is the quest reward. It makes Tincture of Bark (aITEM -1096378100 -1477716844 0 0 0:[Tincture of Bark]/a).

[IMG]

So, I decided to try the potion. Here's what the effect window has:

[IMG]

Now, I am pretty sure that the Tincture of Bark is a potion, not food. And the examine window says nothing about health regen.

And, so far as I can see, I am not shapeshifting. I cancelled every buff, made sure that the hide illusion checkbox in Character Options was unchecked, still no shapechange.

11-02-2018, 09:33 PM

I have recipes for "Celestial Azure {Weapon} of Sky" and "Celestial Obsidian {Weapon} of Ro" now. Where will we find Celestial Zephyren Crystal? Celestial Obsidian Ore?

Quest: The Scrivener's Tale: Followup Friendships

Thanks so much for the quest feathers!

11-02-2018, 09:49 PM

Quest: The Scrivener's Tale: Back to the Library. Shhh!
NPC: Cookie

Cookie's final dialog opens then closes immediately without me clicking anything. I can, of course, read it in the chat window, but hte dialog shouldn't close like that.

(1541191489)[Fri Nov 2 15:44:49 2018] You say to Cookie, "Sounds... appetizing..."
(1541191489)[Fri Nov 2 15:44:49 2018] aNPC 59978 Cookie:Cookie/a says to you, "I was told yous had a mighties adventure and would be hungries. Have yous read the stories from the Recipes for Adventure book? It a good reads. Check it out! "

11-02-2018, 09:50 PM

Portable workstations rock, and I put some on the Beta broker.

Quest: The Scrivener's Tale: Copper for a Tale

Quest reward is Instructedible Cookie Recipe (aITEM -1032548573 9577403:Instructedible Cookie Recipe/a), which creates 1-5 Instructedible Cookies (aITEM 1775316241 2110634099:Instructedible Cookies/a -- shouldn't "Cookies" be singular?)

the Examine window for the cookies doesn't explain the action of the effect. And in fact, looking at my maintained and effect windows, no effect for anything that could be the cookie shows up.

[IMG]

Also, I now have two recipes for Instructedible Cookies in my recipe book, with nothing to differentiate them. Shouldn't the one from the quest step where we make it for Recipes for Adventure disappear once we're done with it?

Niami DenMother · 11-02-2018, 10:44 PM

I posted about the flavor/effect text a few days ago, so it should be somewhere in the queue for fixing.

You need to be dismounted. Arborians don't know how to ride mounts. BigGrin

Niami DenMother · 11-02-2018, 10:47 PM

11-02-2018, 10:56 PM

Thanks, Niami. 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).

Niami DenMother · 11-03-2018, 12:14 AM

Just the neat illusion ... you actually end up with arborians not aggro now during the TS line (after you coat your armor with pollen), but only on folks who have done that part of the line since that change went in on beta, it seems. (They were aggro to Niami still, but she'd done the line pretty early on in the beta.)

11-03-2018, 09:15 AM

few ideas if we are still going to get more rewards for some quests

spell depot 50 slots for house (would be nice since we never got a craftable one)
lv 110 heirloom max harvest skill potion ( woudl grant all harvest skills to 550 or maybe 1)
house banker
postage racer snail (maybe as a special house mailbox)(reduces item sent mail to 10 mins to receive instead of 30 mins)

if not could always use em for some ts mission rewards or something like that in future

Alenna · 11-04-2018, 02:02 AM

Quest: The Scrivener's Tale: Seeding the Tale
quest giver is recipes for Adventurers
I am on crosswind Island trying to use the teleporter to Aerie but it does not work it is non clickable all other teleporters work why am I being forced to fly there instead of using the teleporter.

I'm on Alenna my woodelf woodworker/ranger level 110 both. using the jinn buff illusion.

Xianthia · 11-04-2018, 02:57 AM

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.

Niami DenMother · 11-04-2018, 03:37 AM

As an FYI, be aware that issues like that with an overland zone need to go in the proper forum/thread for overland content. 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.

(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 BigGrin

)

Niami DenMother · 11-04-2018, 10:52 PM

Build 14369

"The Scivener's Tale" - "Speak directly to the Scrivener in the Myrist Mezzanine"

The "can't talk" scrivener has a voiceover that says "Well met!" ... he really shouldn't have a VO tied to him BigGrin

11-06-2018, 01:44 AM

Quest: The Scrivener's Tale: In Preparation for Anything

The Location type should be "Multiple locations".

Quest: The Scrivener's Tale: The Notion of a Potion

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.

Gninja · 11-06-2018, 06:44 PM

Rofl, thats hilarious. Will fix it. Good catch.

11-08-2018, 01:36 AM

Quest: The Scrivener's Tale: A Crafter's Plea

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.

11-08-2018, 03:44 AM

Quest: The Scrivener's Tale (final)

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 · 11-09-2018, 05:26 AM

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.

Here's to a smooth launch next week Smile

See you guys in Norrath. We are wrapping up some odds and ends over the weekend but we're almost there!

Xianthia · 11-10-2018, 03:30 AM

Last minute stuff I think is happening...

Quest: The Proof of Power
Journal: Use the Celestial Nilborien Mount Illusion from the mount window!

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.

Have also re-crafted the illusion.

11-10-2018, 04:15 AM

Yep, I can confirm

Quest: The Proof of Power

Journal: Use the Celestial Nilborien Mount Illusion from the mount window!

have used illusion from mount window several times, dismounted put reg mount on and back and no update. I keep getting
"You must swap out the "Celestial Niborien Mount Illusion" for the Celestial Niborien Illusion" in your mount window before it can be applied.

Current status of Tradeskill Signature line quest - stuck cant get past this point

11-10-2018, 09:28 AM

Confirm too.
Quest: The Proof of Power
Journal: Use the Celestial Nilborien Mount Illusion from the mount window!
I even started the Crafter Timeline again, no update past this point.

11-10-2018, 01:43 PM

Confirm as well.

Quest: The Proof of Power
Journal: Use the the Celestial Nilborien Mount Illusion from the mount window!
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?

11-10-2018, 06:35 PM

Sadly it's still broken but not in the same way.

I now see potteries and can smash them while on the crafting part but I get no shards when I click them (even if I have the "hand" option and it disappears after clicking but nothing goes into my inventory). I also don't see any vial of saps any more so I can't gather them.

11-10-2018, 08:13 PM

That's probably it. 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.

I checked all the chars who did it weeks ago but I can't find a remnant of the original :/
