- Many Planar Recipes can now be used in collapsible containers. Some Planar Tailoring can only be done in the Tanaan Loom as opposed to the Planar Sewing Kit. Nothing that was previously made in the Loom was added to the collapsible tailoring kit. Skills changed were Baking, Sewing, Jewel Craft, and Fletching.
- Added gnome cultural recipe book to Ak'Anon.

WOOT. WOOT. :-) Maybe my gnome caster will Finally have someting to wear!

Fixed a bug that caused merchants to charge a little extra or less (1 copper).

THANK GOD!!!! I'm sure THAT one was causing no end of exploitation and grief.... /boggle..

I got a chance to see the gnomish cultural last night. It's tinkering based with a little bit of brewing involved... and VERY VERY nice stuff for plate and chain gnomes.

Don't expect it to be cheap though. (:

Darn, shouldn't have put off raising tinkering for so long
Maybe I should focus on that more after finishing off tailoring :P

If this is true, then my gnomish chanter is going to be Hella-pissed.

Exsisting cultural gaps are one thing. Adding in more gaps is mean.

Look at this a different way... SOE gets new customers to the game all the time. The new player is a TRUE NEWBIE and tries to sell a stack of items and sees this bug for that 1 copper... It does not work correct... Wait a sec... I just paid for a game and something as simple as MATH does not work.... I cant see because I'm human and it is night... I get killed ALL the time... I think I'll just go back to my old game... LOST CUSTOMER

Ouch... first impressions are important and this is just another item on the LONG list people have reported as not working just right. I think the trend to fix these bugs is a GREAT thing and I hope to see MANY more. It gives the game a more finished feel.

Plus you must think to yourself... They looked at the sell back code here and found mistakes. This may translate into other code mistakes that might charge the incorrect amount other places in the database. FIXING code is always a good thing if it is really a fix and not putting in a new bug.

These are visible pieces only so it *probably* isn't these. Have gnomes had newbie quests?

21214,Ak`Anon Tinker Boots

These look much more probable. Also likely to be tinkered. And also interesting, these don't look like plate armor (tunic, leggings, cap, etc. are usually names for leather (?!) items). Were there any other armor 'sets' listed?

Any player stupid enough to quit the game due to a rounding error on their first day in the game is one that I feel EQ is better off without.


Not saying that the fix is bad, just that the fact that they spent the time and energy to fix it, and publicize the fix amuses me to no end.

Hmmm... time to start randomly selling stuff! Maybe that worlthless item had it's ammount changed to -1 which throws the system off and gives you 655654pp instead!


Eeeh... maybe not.
