      Currently the "morphing" is not a fully automated process. Though it is a run script, it is not automatically run.

      Plus it takes time, thus slowing down the patch.

      This is definitely not worth making every patch from now on longer.

        the oddest thing... I could not find any OLD tokens... it looks like they have been deleted from the database. So I am not sure how at all this could be done in the bazaar. This is very odd...

        Artemisia, can you PM me with your station account (I do **NOT** want your password...), and the day you made the purchase. even the approximate hour if you have it. Also, what character this was done with. And finally Are you sure you bought a token? (the bag conversion woman will still do the tokens, but I cannot find the tokens in the items database)

            Account - done
            Day- not sure anymore (had a rough week) but between 19th and 22nd
            Time - around 9PM Brisbane (australia) time
            Who with- acks could have been trader not sure anymore
            And yes I bought a token, and gave to bag lady, then gave back to get another token and it's still the old vale token (based on item ID)

                  I won't pretend to know how EQ's coding works, but wouldn't it be a simple enough fix to change what token you get for the old bag, on turn in, to hand you the new bags token?

                    But what if... for some really strange reason... someone wants an old kit?

                      The old sewing kits are still sewing kits and can be used as such just not with the new cultural sewing. This having been said there is still the problem existing of people getting ripped off buying the old kits thinking they are buying the NEW kits and that is the issue here. A change of the name will make this a non problem. Is this not a possible solution? How about Vale Sewing "Container" for the old and Vale Sewing Kit for the new?

                      What makes a man a man? A friend of mine once wondered. Is it his origins? The way he comes to life? I don't think so. It's the choices he makes. Not how he starts things, but how he decides to end them.John Myer~Hellboy 2004

                        Well, thats simple. If someone wants an old kit, they either make one, or have someone make them one, and not exchange tokens to get a new one.

                          To make things even more confusing, the Human DoN cultural recipes on the site are pointing to the old cultural container not the new one. I think. I'm prety confused so hoping someone else can look before I try to "fix" something that might not be broken.

                          Journeyman's Sagacious Swatch says to combine in Antonican Sewing Kit and when I clicked link for recipe to kit is has HQ ore which according to something else I've read isn't right?

                            Hmm. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a human cultural sewing kit before DoN. I don't recall ever hearing of human cultural tailoring before then.

                              You are right I finally tried the combine and it worked with what is listed.

                              I misunderstood the quest writeup which says "To make the cultural sewing kit you combine a small brick of your cultural metal with a water flask, needle mold and thimble mold in your cultural forge." The write up is completely correct I just need to learn to read.

                              I thought it was asking for the combined material (for human, HQ ore + mammoth tusk) but when that didn't combine I tried just the HQ and it worked fine and it DID do the DoN combines. Makes more sense for it to be the HQ only otherwise would need a new one each tier but I read it wrong.

                              Came here to get rid of my post but since it was answered already will tell everyone what an idiot I am. /blush
