Tradeskill Containers

[keleborn]

Well it seems that the surefall glade fletching kit IS working (and trivial for steel guardian arrows is still 335). However there is still something wrong with the fier'dal fletching kit, or at least the recipe for mithril fletchings. The fier'dal kit at least brings up recipes when you search (although regular recipes, similar to the new fier'dal forge) but small brick of mithril + mithril working knife (even tried making a new one) in new kit get a DNC.

Yay! Now those supplies i got don't have to just sit there.... (they probably will though, don't wanna use supplies to skill up when i can use things that are better for my skill level, not to mention they are one of the only things that i can skill-up off of after 280-something)

I also noticed something kinda funny, in the tutorial, there is an npc named Absor .

I posted a request at the EQLive forums as to what happened with the fix that was supposed to be in the patch.

Here's my quote and the subsequent reply.

It was planned for these to be done with this updat however they did not pass QA. Sorry!

Now that is truly rich! They need to pass QA to implement a fix for a problem that only exists because they implemented a change that (obviously) never was passed by any form of (competent) QA.

Where are they doing QA anyway? Bhutan?

[Loviotor]

Is there any possibility that we could have a representative get an ETA to when they'll fix the Containers so we can get our combines finished?

I also forgot to address fletching kits. I know about the Surefall kit. If I remember correctly that kit was for Karana Rangers only. I'll make that one work with the new system, there will be no change to the recipe to make it, just to the Surefall Kit itself.

For the Fier'Dal Fletching Kit the recipe will remain the same, but will produce a new kit that will work properly.

Both of those changes will go in with the next regular patch. I'm sorry about the oversight and the fact that you won't be able to make recipes that require those two kits until the next patch.

I have been trying everything I can to get the combine to make the Mithril Fletchings to work. I made my Fier'Dal Fletching Kit again tonight (3/10/05), and retried the recipe I got a DNC. It still does not work, is this something that will be addressed soon or was supposed to be addressed in the 3/3/05 patch? I am really itching to get my rangers fletching skill up, please help!

Thanks!

Absor has posted that he has found the Fier'Dal Fletch kit problem, it has passed the testers and should work next update.

Thanks Absor for your attention to the is matter.

I posted another thread on the EQLive forums, here's the question I asked, the answer I got and the reply I gave in a subsequent thread, since Brenlo locked the previous issues with 3/3 patch.

Brenlo posted to the EQTraders forums that the tradeskill containers would be fixed with the "Next Regular Patch". They were not fixed, and I got the reply on the issues with the 3/3/2005 patch that they "didn't pass QA". I would like to know if there is an ETA when they will fix the tradeskill containers, specifically the Wood Elf/Halfling fletching kits, so that we can continue making use of our skills to make our cultural items.

Got the reply from Kytherea:

My reply on the subsequent thread I created there was:

I would also like to know how the fact that the tradeskills were broken in either the release of DoN or the subsequent patches, yet they made it past QA, but the fix for the broken containers didn't make it past QA for the tradeskill community to be able to make use of their cultural containers. I find this an unacceptable and inadequate answer, and would prefer that someone give a real answer.

I don't care if they fix it, at this point, I just get very tired of the word games they play with the community in general. If something was working as intended before the release of DoN, and stopped working afterward, it was broken. They promised, per the post here, that it would be fixed with the 3/3 patch, but it wasn't, which, in turn, means they lied to us, and the answer I got that it "didn't pass QA" leads me to believe that someone or multiple someones were not doing their job(s); The fact that the containers stopped working, in the first place, means that the patch/update/expansion that broke the containers should not have passed QA.

Just a severely upset ranger, who wants to make some arrows.

[keleborn]

Well looks like there is an update scheduled for wednesday the 16th, so let's hope and pray it gets fixed then. If it passes QA, of course...

[Ixiola]

Wood elf fletching is fixed!

Just logged in an my fletching kit showed favorites again. Did mithril fletching combine to confirm.

This was a recreated fletching kit I made post the Mar 3 patch, but I didn't need to make one today.

I'll post this on the fletching thread too.

Re: Northman Sewing Kit

This morning I tried several times to make my Northman Sewing Kit to no avail - wondering if anyone had the same problem, or what im doing wrong. I do indeed have the right ingredients (water flask, small brick high quality ore, needle mold, and thimble mold) and I tried to combine them numerous times in the Northman Forge -- Please help

Thanks much,

Roxxanna

Hey there.

We made some changes to the underlying functionality of tradeskill containers that went out with the Dragons of Norrath expansion. For the most part these changes should have little or no impact on the way things work in game, they were mostly added to give us more flexibility on the design side.

Of course you noted that I carefully used the word "mostly" in that last sentence. There are a few changes and oversights on my part that I need to let you know about.

Most of the existing portable racial tradeskill containers had to be replaced with new ones. Unfortunately this means that some of you will need to create new sewing and fletching kits. In order to even the playing field, all sewing and fletching kits will be made, none will be purchased. It just didn't seem fair to have one race buying kits and others making them.

I did, however, forget to do a few things before launch. I didn't write a book to explain the new sewing kit recipes and I didn't remove the old recipes or old kits that are sold on vendors. I'll be adding that (or taking that away) with the next patch. In the meantime here are the recipes for the new kits.

For the racial sewing kits
Combine the following in your racial forge:

Small Brick of your racial metal
Needle Mold
Thimble Mold
Water Flask

Those recipes should work right now, so let me know if you see any issues.

I also forgot to address fletching kits. I know about the Surefall kit. If I remember correctly that kit was for Karana Rangers only. I'll make that one work with the new system, there will be no change to the recipe to make it, just to the Surefall Kit itself.

For the Fier'Dal Fletching Kit the recipe will remain the same, but will produce a new kit that will work properly.

Both of those changes will go in with the next regular patch. I'm sorry about the oversight and the fact that you won't be able to make recipes that require those two kits until the next patch.

Collapsible Forge

I'm sure it's been asked before, but when, if at all, can we expect to see a collapsible forge? It is the only tradeskill without a means of portability.

[Verdandi]

Unstickying this, as well. It will still be here in the forum, available by searching.

[Druegar]

Pottery has a portable wheel and/or kiln?

When is a brew barrel going to FINALLY be added to the Bazaar??

It wasn't in the last incarnation (which I liked much better - pooey on running all around the new bazaar).

It isn't in the new incarnation.

Every other tradeskill has their equipment in the bazaar.
