The SOF Tradeskill Quest!

[Ngreth Thergn]

Hrm. I may have set the wrong flag. Oh well will leave it as is at this point

but the point about the augment is still true

[Ngreth Thergn]

Yes, sorry about the oversight on the brewing question but I finally finished the quest. While at time exasperating it was the most fun I have had in the game in a long, long time. Kudos to those who thought it up and implemented it.

Would love to see each subsequent expansion have something like this.

Grim/Squeaky

well...

It ends up being a balance between fixing more large overall issues with tradeskills... or spending a bunch of time on one item. So it is likely to be a flip flop.

Hrm. I may have set the wrong flag. Oh well will leave it as is at this point

but the point about the augment is still true

I was sure I remember in the dialog with Eron that he describes creative use of the chain through twisting and wrapping, with the implication being that its longest length wraps around the waist, or wrapped twice around the neck, four times around a wrist, or wrapped into a coil for a finger or a loop for an earring.

If Eron did not say that, he said something that implied it - and from all that wrapping and coiling, it would not make sense (lore) to be a "mask".

[Aldier]

Just verified in game that it is waist and not face. Oh well.

[Ngreth Thergn]

teach me to misremember things! I must have planned it that way.

Shows my memory!

Tradeskill quest

Ive stumbled into an issue with the quest I could use some help on ...

I opened most of the tasks months ago and finally have the time to finish them up. I am on Counting shadows and some how messed up the box combines.

I will save the long winded explanation, basically I have the second box and third box made. It will not let me make the first box with the celestial essence (at the correct time). I think what happened was that I made it months ago, it was destroyed inadvertantly, then figured I could make a new one. Well, it doesnt look like you can make a second of the same box (at least not the first one it seems. I was able to make box 2 and 3. My hope that it would allow another box 1 combine after didnt happen.

Do I need to just petition for this first box (combine completed)?

Thanks for any help.

Silvereen

you will need to petition.

[KyrosKrane]

If you destroyed the box, you can petition to have it restored. I'm not sure what task steps you do or don't have, but if all you're missing is the actual box, then the GM's can restore that, and you can continue normally with the quest.

[Silvereen]

Thanks much, submitted petition this morning.

I know others have been commenting, I'll take this opportunity as well ...

This quest was/is fantastic. I know everyone loves different parts of EQ, but I have always found challenging quests for worthwhile items extremely enjoyable. I especially think providing some additional quests and rewards for those who have put in hundreds/thousands of hours tradeskilling is a great way to provide great content and keep peoples interest.

I really hope the next expansion continues to develope along this quests line or similar. I would love to see a couple of quests like this in the fall.

Cheers and thanks again!

Word,

Let me know how it went Silvereen. I had a similar situation a while back and posted it but unfortuantely there was nothing that could be done for me so the quest is dead atm. But like you I was unable to remake the first box even at the correct time. Since I had already made the boxes once before and somehow lost my completed counting shadows book for the final turn in.

There appears to be some invisible flag that was unable to be reset on my account.

[Ngreth Thergn]

I have implemented a fix for the flags that will go into next patch...

Though it uses the book you lost... so for that you will still need Customer service help.

[Stormseye]

Word,

Thanks Ngreth. Actually I have 3 books now, 1 which was restored and 2 I had completed after doing the quest 3 times now ;p

Updates on step 3:

Step 3

Step 1: Fish for 12 Farwander Gar [Loping Planes]
Step 2: Fish for 12 Wayunder perch [Loping Planes]
Step 3: Fish for 12 Dragonscale Bullhead [Dragonscale Hills]
Step 4: Fish for 12 Prawn [Dragonscale Hills]
Step 5: Fish for 12 Shaded Bonefish [Hills of Shade]
Step 6: Fish for 12 Shadow Trout [Hills of Shade]
Step 7: Loot 1 Twitching giant Frog leg [Loping Planes]
Step 8: Create 1 Farwander Gar Meatballs using tradeskills
Step 9: Create 1 Grilled Ranthockgrass Prawns using tradeskills
Step 10: Create 1 Sweet Sauce Shaded Bonefish using tradeskils
Step 11: Create 1 Baked Dragonscale Bullhead using tradeskills
Step 12: Create 1 Shadow Trout Kabobs using tradeskills
Step 13: Create 1 Wine Baked Wayunder Perch using tradeskills
Step 14: Create 1 Eron's Herb Frog Legs using tradeskills
Step 15: Go talk to eron. be sure you have all of the fish and baking with you and he
Step 16: Create 1 Eron's Reconfigured Simple Jewelry using tradeskills
Step 17: Show Eron your progress on the Jewelry

When you hail him as part of step 15, he'll take 11 of each of the fish (except prawns, which he'll take 8 since you used 4 of the 12) and one of each of the foods you created out of your inventory and give you a Reconfigured Pattern.

To create this new piece, combine the Second Setting Jewelry you got from completing part 2 with the Reconfigured pattern that you got after completing step 15 and an Uncut Combine Star in a Jeweler's Kit.

[Altara]

Thats cool. I did it a week or so ago and he took 12 of each, and there was some text about replacing any that you used. This would be much less confusing.

[Stormseye]

Word,

From todays patch notes..

- Eron in Dragonscale Hills will now give you some help if you are stuck with the shadow counting book. This help is simply resetting the flags that may be keeping you from uncovering the gem boxes.

NGRETH FOR PREZ

Thank you for addressing this. Hopefully now I can proceed unhindered.
