Bad Ogre, Naughty Ogre (Attention Alchemists 2)

[Ngreth Thergn]

It seems I made a large error, and missed attaching treasure tables for the drop parts of alchemy (except for the level X versions, those are definitely in).

I understand that the first thing you will say is "restore old alchemy" and while that would be nice, it is entirely not feasible. Additionally, I can fix the error in about a day, and WILL be fixing the error today. It would also take me about a day to restore alchemy to the way it was. Additionally, to restore alchemy to the way it was will take a FULL patch bringing the serves down for a few hours. To fix my mistake, after I have done the work required, and it has been tested, we can do a "live" patch that does no bring the whole server down and just impacts a few zones. All in all, the best solution is to continue forward and fix the error, not to go back.

I apologise profusely for making this mistake, and I am working as quickly as I can to correct this. Because of this, I will not be communicating much today. Instead I will be fixing the error. I understand there are other issues you are interested in me updating in other skills, but I have put this fix as my top priority.

Again, I apologize, and thank you for what patience you may bring to this issue.

Good to know "thats not my fault" ...

Do what you have to do - no stress,
its not an Nuclartest program - its not RL ..


Take care

From one programer to another programer Ngreth ... I think what you are doing is remarkable. I appreciate your information and your talent. Thank you.

Ngreth,

The fact you found the error, came out and posted there was an error, owned up as to the cause of the error and took fault for the error...

Well, let me just say that posting that your fixing the error and working on it right now....there are no words....

/salute

You just proved your hire was the best decision SOE's made in all too long.

summary though, the missing drops should be available at about 5am PST

[Gaell Stormracer]

On Antonius Bayle, Droga was respawned at 12:38 GMT (04:38 PST) but no sign of the missing blood yet... or at least none in about 25 kills. Seems too rare if it really IS in.

[Sunbur Wanderaimless]

Confirmed!

Got my first Hearty Goblin Blood off of a gob in Droga at 10am EST... was off of one back around towards the zone in again. Hubby and I killed approximately 40 goblins as we walked through. Near Earth Mystic Gedak, Whip Cracker Krazzim, Dirt Criminal Vakov, and Bone knight Runri on the map.

But it is confirmed to drop!!! Thank you, House Ogre!!!! Den Mom, give him a huge hug for me

EDIT: Just got 2 off of goblin ritualists who were GREEN to 70! They were in Droga near Moss Knight Yortal and Slinker Ukal on the map. Ended up with 4 total in about 90 minutes. But I had warrior hubby and wizzy bot with me hehe

[Gaell Stormracer]

Up to 55 gobs now with no drops on AB.

EDIT: Seems we've been working too hard for these -- these blood are an 'uncommon' drop from the green con goblins in the east side of Droga....

I have been in Droga for 3 hours killed untold goblins no blood on FV

I have checked with a number of people hunting in Droga no blood

Finaly found it on the green con Goblins

[NZSid]

Drop rate of hearty goblin blood is good !!!

If you aren't getting the blood to drop, either you ar every unlucky or you are in the wrong place. I got 19 in just over an hour clearing the greens between Dirt Defender Gropp and Blood Ritualist Taprom. There was a guy camping the Moss knight Yortal/Slinker Ukal room and he was collecting them a bit slower than me (less mobs). I would call the drop rate common: 1 in about every 5 or so mobs.

[Gelinu]

found the blood in mines of nurga

Went to droga to get the blood and did not get a single one during the hours i was there (over two days). then i went to nurga and two droped in about an hour or so. Droped of "a goblin death caller" and "a goblin spirit lord"
Not a very promising drop rate i must say. got one for every 50 mobs atleast, in nurga.

[Weskat]

Confirm Common drop from (green to 70) Gobs at Flame Adept Verdalix and Dirt Defender Gropp camps (and all in between.) Drop rate went down the further North I went from the Nurga line.
