  • Patch Message 5th December

    Here the tradeskill related updates

    *** Items ***
    - With the exception of diseased forages, the forages from The Serpents Spine zones have been given a small vendor value.
    - Changed most of the gems in the game to stack to 100.

    *** NPCs ***
    - Butcher Redloe now correctly describes how to make Blood Sausage.

    *** Tasks ***
    - Changed an error in the text of Dorina's Quest in the Mesa.
    - Corrected an issue with the following Grandmaster Cultural Symbol quests: "Thundercrest Expedition", "The Latest in Clockworks!", and "A Bit of Spider, a Bit of Drake". If you are a Dwarf, High Elf, or Gnome, have the quest from before this update but haven't completed it, and the task has less than 6 steps including hidden ones marked with a "???", there are some special steps you can take to update your quest to include these changes while keeping your current progress. NOTE: These steps are not required and your task can be completed without going through this, but your task may not display updates properly.
    1)Go to the Artisan in your home town that gave out the task. Be sure that you have a few minutes and do not zone or log out until you have completed all steps.
    2) Say "Broken" to the Artisan and it will start a new dialog tree.
    3) Read everything carefully and respond appropriately. There will be text in brackets. Be sure to say exactly what is in the brackets. You will be asked to remove tasks at certain steps. Be very certain you have the correct task highlighted before you hit the remove button. Take your time and follow the directions carefully.
    4) Following these steps properly will give you the updated the task and preserve the progress you have made on the old version.


    *** Tradeskills ***

    - Some of the grandmaster cultural symbol tasks have been made easier by being less specific about the NPCs that are needed for the kill step. For example, if the kill step was "kill 120 Isle Drakes" it will now be "Kill 120 Isle Creatures". Additionally, the kill steps will only be able to be completed in the base zone, or instance of the base zone that is mentioned in the task text. The loot step will still only be on the specific creatures, and only in instances.
    - Metal Bits now stack more efficiently.
    - Changed the name of the three old cultural sewing kits and their tokens to make them stand out. They will continue to work for basic tailoring as they have for a while, and they will continue to not work for cultural tailoring, as they have not for a while.
    - Added fish from The Serpents Spine to the Bait Dispenser.
    - Fixed a misspelling of the recipe name for Feir'Dal Sewing Kit and Teir'Dal Sewing Kit.
    - Removed the tradeskill flag from Onyx Ring.
    - More of the "Blue Diamond Cultural" was set for Luclin release on progression servers.
    - Crystalwing Sewing Kit and Crescent Essence recipes can now be learned.
    - Crescent Essence can now be traded.

        Aye me too but normally you can get the patch message after about 30-45 minutes if you run the patch.

        BTW thank you to the house ogre for implementing so many things we discussed in the last few days/weeks so soon.

                    I've gone through the "broken" text twice, but I'm not seeing the NPC telling me to remove the old task. I keep re-reading it to see if there is [text] I am not saying...but nothing. I just get straight to the spam part and the quest stays the same. Maybe I just really suck

                      I had the same thing happen but it updated to Isle Creatures... I think it was just something they stuck in as a precaution, so someone didn't think they had to remove their old task before getting their new one. The update also took me all of ~1 second, where the dwarf had me thinking it would take several minutes (again something I'm guessing they did 'just in case' so someone didn't lag and lose it). I could be wrong tho

                        I thought I had changed the patch message. And I may have, because that message was not the one I wrote, so the person re-writing it may have put that BACK in after I removed it... Or I forgot to remove it.

                        But basically i made the workaround... wrote patch notes, etc...

                        then found a HUGE exploit in the workaround...

                        so... went back and changed how I did the workaround... and there was no longer a need to remove any tasks... changed patch messages, etc...

                        I may have missed changing that part of the patch message, or with two "versions" the wrong one got used.

                        But whatever the case, there is no longer any removing BY THE PLAYER... part of the flickering is in there... it is removed and then added... as in there is a line of code that says "remove the task" then there are two comment lines (which as the name implies does nothing at all but make the code clear) the very next step is to add the same task. So it happens at computer speed and just causes a bit of "flickering" in the task window.

                        I am curious though... How widespread was the instance of not having all of the elements? or are people just "trying it because it is there" (not advised!!!)

                          One thing that wasn't mentioned that I noticed was that the elemental bow staff drops are now stackable. That freed up a lot of slots in my bank. Thanks so much house Ogre!!!
