Corrections to Aid Grimel write-up

[KyrosKrane]

There are a number of minor errors in the Aid Grimel write up. I've gone through as best I could and listed them here. All corrections are taken from the database, unless I note otherwise.

Step 1: Smithing

• "(Cleaned) Breastplate" should be "Cleansed breastplate" -- it's named correctly just above it.
• "Decorated Breastplate" should be "Imbued Breastplate".
• "(Coated) Breastplate" should be "Tempered breastplate" -- it's named correctly just above it.

Step 3: Jewelcraft

• Mounted Blue Diamond: Trivial is 16, and it can also be made in a normal or collapsible JC kit

Step 4: Pottery

• Ceramic Lining: trivial is 17
• The recipe for Divine Crystalline Glaze (and the White Lead subcombine) is missing.
• Filled Sacred Urn is a no-fail combine.

Step 5: Tailoring

• "Fire Silk" should be "Fire Arachnid Silk"
• Firesilk Swatch trivial is 15.
• Emblem of Fire can be made in a collapsible JC kit
• "(Enchanted Bar of Molten Ore)" should be "Enchanted molten bar".
• Firestrand Curing Agent can only be made in a Tanaan brew barrel.
• The database entry for Fire Undergarment Tunic only lists the Tanaan loom as a container, but the write-up says either a Tanaan Loom or a collapsible sewing kit. Logically, this combine should be doable in a planar sewing kit, a collapsible sewing kit, or a Tanaan loom.

Step 6: Fletching

• "Air Bow String" should be "air arachnid silk string". Trivial is listed as 162 in the write up, and <=173 in the database. The write up says you can combine this in a normal loom; the database doesn't list that. Logically, you should not be able to combine this in a normal loom.
• "Wind Metal" should be "Chunk of Wind Metal".
• "Wind Cam Parts" do not exist; instead, it's "wind metal gears" and "wind metal bolts". They are both made from a single combine. Trivial is 102. Aside from the names, the recipe is correct as listed in the write up.
• "Wind Cams" should be "wind metal bow cam". Trivial is 282. Recipe is:
  

  jar of clockwork grease
  wind metal bolts
  wind metal gears

• Signet Featherwood Bow is trivial >250. The item names in the recipe need to be updated as above.

Last step (with the Councilman)

• There is an error in the Councilman's text. It currently reads, "That is, if you are skilled enough.' man about the signet.'" I believe the " man about the signet.'" part should be removed, but this may need to be verified against the actual in-game text.

I tried a planar kit and it did not work. The PoK loom did.

[KyrosKrane]

OK, then that just leaves the collapsible sewing kit to test.

[Krazick]

Corrected the various bits that were "Clearly stated"... those where it was phrased "Logically it should be..", "I think it should say.." were not changed.

I still intend to break this up again into multiple pages... I might actually get back to this soon now that most of GoD stuff has calmed down.

It would not allow me to use a collapsable kit. I had to use the same loom.

[Krazick]

Removed the Collapsible Sewing Kit as a container to make the Fire Undergarment Tunic in the writeup.

I'm one Sacred Water away from completing the rest of this quest (well, one Obsidianwood Sap, too, but I can buy that). Please leave this thread open and I'll keep posting updates as I run through the quest.

Bah. Failed my tunic combine, so now I'm looking for more sap. More info as I get it.

[Kahmon]

With all your time on these boards, did you really expect it would only take 1 try?

Talk to Renjah; he got both his robes on the first try. So yes, I was indeed hopeful.

Failed second try, need two more saps for the third. Stay tuned.

Last step (with the Councilman)

• There is an error in the Councilman's text.

Here is the correct text, taken from my logs:

Councilman Taldarius regards you, and grins. 'Greetings, Kyroskrane. I am Councilman Taldarius, mighty Paladin of Mithaniel Marr and Guardian of the City of Tanaan! If you cannot find what you are looking for here in the Myrist library, I most certainly can add it to my list of things to look for in the Planes. Unfortunately, I am quite busy at the moment, planning my next trip to the Elemental Planes. I believe my aid may have some tasks he could use help with. That is, if you are skilled enough.'

Note that he uses your own name; the current write up has Iustus instead of Kyroskrane.

[KyrosKrane]

OK, final pass through the quest log.

Emblem of Fire -- trivial is 287 (taken from the DB)
Fire Undergarment Tunic -- trivial is >250 (This needs to be noted in the DB as well)

Other than that, everything looks good. Great job on this. =)

[Krazick]

Got around to checking this again, and fixed the last tidbits...

[KyrosKrane]

Gah. Just when you think you're done ...

I got around to making the second earring the other day, and I tested the one last niggle I could think of.

"Air Bow String" should be "air arachnid silk string". Trivial is listed as 162 in the write up, and <=173 in the database. The write up says you can combine this in a normal loom; the database doesn't list that. Logically, you should not be able to combine this in a normal loom.

I tested this specifically in a loom in Shadow Haven. It does not combine. The entry in the database is correct; you just need to remove the Loom from the write-up.

When you talk about the Air Arachnid Silk String... I presume you are talking about the Fletching Step... where it states:

Air Arachnid Silk String: (Tanaan Loom/Collapsible Sewing Kit/Planar Sewing Kit, 162 Trivial)
Air Arachnid Silk
Air Arachnid Silk
Clump of Wax

So I removed the "Loom" from the list... but what about the Collapsible Sewing Kit and the Planar Sewing Kit? Can these produce the desired recipe?
