The hunting bows are described as lesser bows and the shortbows are described as normal bows. I don’t have any other types yet, but they should probably be checked as well. Looks like when the names got changed, the descriptions didn’t.

After giving Barrin the sword, he says, “Once I have decided, I will proceed to reading the weapon.”

Should be readying.

At the end, Raithn says, “My team have recently arrived back and have confirmed all you said”

Both have should be has.

As a side note, it might be interesting to let the player make the sword or gather the materials. It seems that the Alchemy part of the quest is set up this way.

I successfully picked the lock on a Q100 hardened crate, but got no experience. Failing did give me experience. This was at level 6. I didn’t successfully pick another lock until I got to level 10, at which point I got experience for successfully unlocking and locking the crate.

When talking to Krestel, he says, “They are from a large bird.” He then goes on to discuss the pterosaur (reptile) and megaras (mammal), neither of which are birds.

A few lines later, he says, “No, not a pterosaur, smaller,” and then, “This is made by a megaras. They are larger than pterosaurs.” Since the megaras is larger than the pterosaur (according to _Selected Beasts of Yliakum vol 2_), the first line should be changed.

In the subject quest, when talking to Oropher, the three options to say why you’re asking, the first two lines are “the guard asked me”, while the third line is “the guard _ask_ me”

When talking to Aliress and telling her what you learned, the response is “fill in”

At the end of the quest, the DW says “Speaking of executioners…” This seems out of place since the player never discusses executioners with the DW. There’s no apparent reason for the DW to know about Zak’s request for Gordy’s axe.

The icon for the Offerings Box in “All in a day’s work” doesn’t look right. It looks like it should be pointing to box_jewelery01c_icon.dds, but instead looks like it’s pointed at the file used to construct a 3D object.

“he produces a bulging pouch of coins from under his vest. He drops them on the counter with a metallic thud, then quickly hides them in his clothes again.”

Both them should be it (referring to the pouch as a singular object).

Also, Jarda’s only wearing a loincloth, so where, exactly, is he hiding that pouch?

When I asked Vladovic “Have you ever heard of someone called Tzeg?” Vladovic responds with a paragraph about how Tzeg used to gather his own herbs and how Vladovic used an apprentice. I another “Have you ever heard of someone called Tzeg?” prompt to which Vladovic says Tzeg died and Vladovic took over the shop.

In the victim’s description of the effects of the Lesser Plague, “strength” is misspelled.

In the Intro to Combat quest with Gregori, he goes into a discussion of how to get training from other NPCs in the various combat skills. For example, he says to go to Percival for melee and sword training and the guard at the windowless tower for shield training. There’s also the question about how to afford it all.

With the current training system, where levels are automatic, these comments don’t apply and this section should probably be rewritten.

“Kilas sent you to see four poeple close to Octarch…” should be people and should have “close to the Octarch”

After giving Loren the 500 tria, he is referred to as “she” twice.

“got a ticked for Raithen” should be ticket

Amidison: “…plans which she looked over and though everything was fine…” should be thought

After giving all the seals, Kilas “asked if you wanted to know about others looking for work.” I think it would make more sense to say they’re “looking for help”

Allellia says: “Busy plenty of food and drink…” should be Buys

Thorian’s line “Well since you know i’m a potion maker, I guess there’s no point in denying it.” seems out of place or redundant. I think it would fit better after he says “So you heard then.”

At the end of the quest, Barrin gives a Poison glyph and says “You will find it is able to vastly broaden a person’s sight in many ways.” This doesn’t really make sense. It seems to be left over from when he gave a divination glyph.

Player’s response: “I think your one would be best.” Probably better as “I think one of yours would be best.”

The first player dialog has two options, one talks about ores, but not specifically gems, and the second choice is “Gems, they must be better than mining iron.” It seems like Fholen is missing a line before this dialog asking what I’m interested in.

I chose the Gems line and after Fholen’s lines about how hard it can be, the next Player dialog is “Specifically I’m searching for some iron ore.” which doesn’t seem to make sense since I just said I was interested in gems.

Fholen’s description of the iron mine seems a little off. “It’s a flat area surrounded by hills.” The mine is actually on the hillside, so it might be better to say “It’s on the side of the hill that surrounds the large flat area.”

Fholen says he can provide training, but with the way training is automatic now, this doesn’t really make sense.

Kilas says: “Over in Ojaveda, the smithy, Trasok…” Trasok is a smith. He works in a smithy. Recommend changing this to either “the smith” or “in the smithy”

Barrin: “These next tests are not so much about training they are about making a name for your self as a Blue Way Master.” Should have comma after training, and yourself is one word.

Barrin: “In gaining aid and respect from your pears,…” Should be peers.

Barrin: “Blue Way has many glyphs, though quite a few will do nothing on their own. It is possible they might need glyphs from the Crystal or Brown Ways as well as from the Blue Way.” As written, they refers to the Blue Way glyphs, which doesn’t quite make sense. I suggest changing they to a Blue Way spell or rewriting as “It is possible they might need to be combined with glyphs from the Crystal or Brown Ways.”

Tarmeen: “In no way this means you know it all either, you still…” Would be better as “In no way does this mean you know it all, you still…”

“You may not have obtain this glyph yet, you will.” Not sure what is meant here. Should it be “You may not have obtained this glyph yet, but you will.” to indicate that it is a reward in a future quest? Or perhaps “If you have not obtained this glyph yet, you will need to.” Should Sharven mention it can be purchased from Levrus?

“I also want you to have this glyph as a person gift.” Should be personal

In “A Dwarf’s Wish,” when going to Polyuntri, “…the armour-clad Ylian gives you a scowl through his helm.”

Polyuntri is a Ynnwn.

When I try to give Jardet the mushrooms using the dialogue box, I get an error “You have too few Lake Mushrooms. Come back when you have the correct amount.” have exactly two mushrooms in my inventory in a single stack. I tried with five mushrooms and still had too few. When I try to give them to him manually, “Jardet Forsill does not need that.”

Is Jardet now requiring harvested mushrooms of some higher quality than what can just be picked? If so, this needs to be made clear in the dialogue.

“Two wands to proof I am worthy” should be prove

“Levrus…drops your wand in…” For the azure (and I think dark) way quest, it’s an amulet, not a wand.

Axomir: “Also, do not you will need to have found a mind glyph…” missing “forget” after “not”

When I try to do the “Rats in the Warehouse” quest with Jirosh, after he asks “Can you do this for me?” the only option is to say no.

As a result of the recent reset of quests that have glyph rewards, quests that had previously been completed that had glyph rewards can be redone. However, two of those quests require items from predecessor quests that have not been reset. “The Coming Eclipse” with Datal requires a letter from Amidison and “Bend the Octarch’s Ear” with Kilas requires the Hydlaa Housing Layout.

When I walked into Levrus’s shop, he said “Have you read many of my books upstairs? If you haven’t you are not allowed to until you have.” Is the word “leave” missing after “allowed” or is this Levrus being Levrus?

Item #5 from PS#6443 still isn’t fixed. My hops didn’t get taken when I did the “dance” option. When I did the “story” option, they did get taken.

Also on the “story” option, the NPC says “They weight……..make sure ye can heave em up.” It would be nice to know how much they weigh on both options so the player can determine if they can carry them.

Trasok says “Next I need two small battle axes.” But when I try to give them to him, I get an error that I have too few small battle axe. I made a third but it still wasn’t enough.

In the subject quest, Veja says

“When you’ve done it all, show me your results.”

To me and at least one other, this implied finish the blade. However if you try to complete the blade, you get stuck because you don’t have the furrower.

Veja wants to see the alpha blade and handle first. This needs to be made more clear in the dialogue.

Jarda’s last line: “The nods his head towards the door for you to leave.” I think the first word should be “Then” or “He.”

At the end, Jecascis says “I was going to sell them once I got off duty, but you can have them.” Both “them” can be changed to “it” since the reward has changed to a single item.

All the Powdered Ore recipes start with “Grind xxx into Powdered xxx using Alchemist’s table with a wooden mallet.” However, this step doesn’t seem to work, as one is forced to go through the “Hammer ore into big chunk, small chunk, powder” process.

“Thorian Gronk pauses a bit, before nosily clearing his through preparing to explain further.” Should be noisily and the comma after “bit” is not needed.

Player says “Have to be just the right about, though, or you’d just blow it out.” Should be amount.

System Message: “You used the wind glyph to stock Harnquist’s Forge.” Should be stoke.

Jarda: …his course letters are bulky but legible. should be coarse

When the player’s response to an NPC is too long to fit in the window, instead of wrapping, the text is cut off. There is a horizontal scroll bar, but it doesn’t make the text visible. The only way I’ve found to get the text to appear is to resize the window so it’s wide enough to show the text (the missing text still doesn’t appear), close the window, reopen it, and resize it again. Then the text will appear.

OOC reference: “- She eyes the player flirtatiously.”

“Look down toward the Gate to Dsar” should this be “Gate to the Dsar”

Selisar’s description seems to be scrambled or missing a line between the “well, over the hills from the gold.” and “The mine near the cinnabar and luminum mines”

The description appears to be missing something at the end.

“…stranded for some time on the lake shore of the lowest”

Ferryd: “But make sure you have both before I will continue with you?” Should end with period, not question mark.

At the end of the quest, Ferryd says to show your wand to Willam Chorind, however, Willam has nothing to say.

“Zhaomal Shehan looks at his the Lava glyph he still holds.” his should be deleted.

Zhaomal Shehan says: “Sometimes it takes a more simple mind to see a simple solutions. should be “Sometimes it takes a simpler mind to see a simple solution.” or “…to see simple solutions.”

When I sharpened by dull reinforced battleaxe blade, I only got blacksmith practice points. Shaping the alpha/beta/delta blades and the final assembly all provided both blacksmith and blades making.

After creating and uploading a new character, the client hangs at the point where the progress bar usually changes from “loading world” to “loading GUI.” If I quit the client and relaunch, everything works and I can use the new character.

This is on 64-bit Linux.

The bottle of Kolaim’s Blush wine on the table in the corner of Kada El’s (tavern_de-kadel -128.78 22.26 -85.7) has two typos in the description.

‘…made with plants maintained by the Lemur is a few specifal groves throughout Yliakum.”

Should be in and special respectively.

With the new training process, all skills are now shown as being in training, even those at level 0. This makes it impossible to filter out untrained skills. This is annoying, especially on the Jobs and Various tabs where it’s possible to only have a few skills actually being trained and many unused.

Perhaps an option to sort skills in descending order of level would help. I tried playing with the xml file but wasn’t able to get anything to work.

The shortcut editing window provides too much space for the commands, resulting in too few rows of icons being visible.

Recommended fix: Change shortcutwindow.xml as follows

In the CommandBox widget, comment out

<attach point="PROPORTIONAL_BOTTOM" />

You may want to increase the height as well to show more than 2 lines of text.

In the iconPalette widget, replace

<attach point="PROPORTIONAL_TOP" />

with

<attach point="ATTACH_TOP" />

If you change the height of the CommandBox, you will probably need to change the y value of the iconPalette.

The names of some looted items are too long for the storage and item description windows.

The storage window is now resizable, but the text line for the item name isn’t long enough. This can be fixed by editing data/gui/storage.xml at line 108 to increase the column width. Setting this to 275 was enough to see the full name of my Ruined Turquoise-encrusted Dermorian Shortbow of Blinding Strike.

Even with this change, if I go to a different category and then come back, the end of the name is cut off again until I resize the window.

     <column width="60" >
         <widget name="Price" factory="pawsTextBox"></widget>
     </column>
     <column width="__275__" >
         <widget name="Name" factory="pawsTextBox"> <!-- This is for formated output -->

Similarly, in the Item Description window, adding 100 to the widths made the window wide enough to show the full name. Edit data/gui/itemdesc.xml and increase the widths where indicated below

    <widget name="ItemDescWindow" factory="pawsItemDescriptionWindow" resizeable="yes" visible="no" 
       savepositions="yes" movable="yes" style="New Standard GUI">
        <frame x="100" y="100" width="__420__" height="200" border="yes"/>

        <title resource="Scaling Title Bar" text="Examine" align="left" close_button="yes"/>

        <widget name="ItemImage" factory="pawsWidget" visible="yes" >
        <frame x="20" y="50" width="48" height="48" border="no"/>
            <bgimage resource="Standard Slot" />
        </widget>

        <widget name="ItemName" factory="pawsTextBox" >
            <frame x="10" y="10" width="__400__" height="22"/>
        </widget>

        <widget name="ItemDescription" factory="pawsMultiLineTextBox" >
            <frame x="85" y="40" width="__325__" height="150" border="no"/>
        </widget>

I thought I saw this posted somewhere else, but I can’t find it now.

Since it’s pretty hard to get high quality enchanted gems (at least, at level 100 enchanting rubies), I’d like to propose allowing players to try to enchant a gem more than once. The current system partially allows this already. If you try to enchant a Q80 enchanted gem and fail, you get a Q80 pile of dust and some practice points. However, if you try to enchant a Q80 enchanted gem and succeed, the gem is reset to its previous quality (Q80) and you get no practice points.

Why not let players try to improve the quality of their gems? There would always be the risk that they’d end up with a high quality pile of dust, and maybe the risk could be made higher when trying to enchant an enchanted gem.

Tloke and Gawert Venom Essences, and Arangma, Tloke, and Gawert Antidotes all use a wooden stirrer. Only the Arangma Venom Essence requires an iron stirrer.

Also, of the other potions in the Healer’s Remedies book, only the Healing essence uses a wooden stirrer. All others use an iron stirrer. Is this intentional?
