Title: Yet another issue with a Quest
Post by: Kunlock on January 18, 2006, 02:17:31 am: It seems I have run into an issue with the Ring of Familiar quest. At the point in the quest when I am attempting to give the 10 diamonds to Levrus to complete the quest, it seems I am unable to do so.

When I attempt to give him the diamonds it gives me these messages:

popup messages in the middle of the screen
\"Trade complete\" (Green)
\"Levrus Dahrenn does not need that.\" (Red)

messages in the chat window
\"Levrus Dahrenn tells you: Wow, you found them! (etc, etc) The ring is ready. It\'s yours.\"
\">Fist does not fit in this slot.\"
\"Levrus Dahrenn tells you: Wow, you found them! (etc, etc) The ring is ready. It\'s yours.\"
\">Fist does not fit in this slot.\"

When I check my inventory after these messages, it seems my 10 diamonds are still there, and I have not recieved the ring. Upon further checking I find it does properly detect that 10 have been offered, because when I do a number other than 10 it does the same popup messages, however the chat window messages do not appear. This has happened every time I have tried to do this. I have had other people confirm that it happens to them as well.

I did search high and low for another post regarding this topic, but I didnt find it here or even in the bugtracker. Hope that I am not posting on something that has already been covered.

Post by: LigH on January 18, 2006, 12:35:16 pm: Instead of posting that in the forums {at all | only}, you should better create a bug report (after checking that it does not yet exist already):

PlaneShift Bugtracker (http://planeshift3d.com/bugtracker/index.php)
Title:
Post by: A12C4 on January 18, 2006, 05:44:09 pm: Yes I agree however, I am not :

- qualified to know where this bug is/should be (server, client, etc..)
- usually a petition is enough for us repporters as people with *much* more experience than us monitor this,
- as you know petitions are not working atm http://planeshift3d.com/bugtracker/bug.php?op=show&bugid=1420&pos=0

Thus the only result is first, am I alone with this problem ?
-> check & post on forum

On a second time I agree that it *should* be our duty to check/upadte bugtracker but litlle experience on this is a very strong limiting factor for efficient reports.

Yours A12C4.

Post by: steuben on January 19, 2006, 02:29:40 am: i\'ve got bets that it is related to the weirdness that has been going on with the inventory control lately. once that is cleared up it should work.

Post by: peeg on January 19, 2006, 01:18:12 pm: Hello,
don\'t know if this is already know, so i\'ll drop it here instead of the bugtracker:

\"Thorian\'s Shield\" has a massive bug.
When i gave Harmquist the shield and told him to repair it he said that it would cost 30 Trias. So far, so nice.
Then i somehow lost Harmquist as my target und had to retarget him. I tried to give him the requested Trias, but Harmquist \"doent need that\". :(
Now he doesn\'t react on \"Repair the shield.\" anymore and just kept it. No way complete the quest.

Maybe this is somehow related to the inventorybug?

I hope i explained it somehow understandable. If not: See sig :)

Post by: Nilrem on January 19, 2006, 01:29:33 pm: This quest is indeed a bit \"particular\" but you still haven\'t reached that point.
Remember what the dwarf told you, you don\' really want to pay Harnquist, do you? You\'ve to \"convince\" him (read menace) you\'d like to check your logs, avaiable on planeshift directory, under log folder in order to refresh your memory and get the hint of the kind of sentence you\'ve to use.
Title:
Post by: peeg on January 19, 2006, 08:39:29 pm: Okay, thanks for the hints so far.
There are no logs in my PS-dir (i\'m on linux - maybe because of that) but i noted that Torian said i should tell Harmquist something like \"Th* Sp*** wi** *no* i*\" (stars to avoid spoiling).
Harmquist doesn\'t recognize this sentence :(
Title:
Post by: Karyuu on January 19, 2006, 08:43:57 pm: Me and Zanzibar were discussing this at some point, trying to figure out why the phrase wasn\'t working. If I remember correctly, you had to have typed it exactly as you saw it, and that meant... yep, quotations/apostraphes included ;)
Title:
Post by: peeg on January 19, 2006, 09:02:41 pm: So it\'s really a bug :)

If you are right this is another task i cant finish.
I cant find a chatlog or something like this to find out what *exactly* Thorian said, so Harmquist the thief will keep his shield. Mah!

//EDIT:
Ooops. I found a log and greped it for the correct sentence. Doesn\'t work neither with quotes.
Title:
Post by: Xeraans on January 20, 2006, 10:09:36 pm: I can confirm that the sentence isn\'t supposed to be said the exact way it\'s told, and that you may have to go behind Thorian\'s back a little for this.. If you ask me, this is the most responsive quest I\'ve found, being that it actually requires you to think of the NPC\'s as human. :)

So just keep trying, and if you think you may have lost the shield for good, just open up your quest window, and cancel the quest to start over. Nifty little feature, that..

Post by: wulfhere on January 20, 2006, 10:14:39 pm: can we get back to the quest with the ring
Title:
Post by: Karyuu on January 20, 2006, 10:20:56 pm: Nothing to get back to ;) It\'s a bug, it will hopefully be submitted to the bugtracker, devs will be/are notified, and they\'ll apply fixes.
Title:
Post by: Bleegoingus on January 22, 2006, 11:20:35 pm: I am having the exact same results for the ring quest - he seems to take the crystals, tells me twice the he is casting the spell and the ring is now mine, but when i look in my inventory, I see my crystals and no ring.

And it does also say in the red text that he does not need that item.

I hope someone has posted it to the bug tracker. ... if so please let us know .

Post by: Natashi Kumiko on February 09, 2006, 04:51:16 am: Same here :(

Want my pet :(
Title: Gregoris quest
Post by: Alose on February 09, 2006, 09:36:31 pm: Hello shifters,

I think I run into a broken quest also. After going to the library for Nyshyn she doesnt remeber me so I cant get my axe back. This in not funny i spend some time on it :(
Title: ring of familair the 10 diamond crystals
Post by: Lyien Lafay on March 19, 2006, 02:18:59 pm: I can\'t even get the 10 diamond crystals from Trasok! I\'ve tried everything to say! Does someone know what to say? thanks!
Title:
Post by: Choren on March 19, 2006, 02:37:08 pm: You have to mine them.
Title:
Post by: Lyien Lafay on March 19, 2006, 02:50:06 pm: oh... ok and where can I mind them and what do I need therefore? Can I use a rock pick?
Title:
Post by: Rolf Blacksmith on March 19, 2006, 03:02:17 pm: For mining up to now a Rock Pick is absolutely satisfactory, and about the location:

Apprach some friendly folks ingame and ask them. That\'s the way the game works, and posting it here would spoil the fun, wouldn\'t it?

So, stay tuned! :)
Title:
Post by: Lyien Lafay on March 19, 2006, 03:21:18 pm: many people say I have to get into the dungeons of the laanx temple. But I can\'t get down there without dying!
Title:
Post by: Rolf Blacksmith on March 19, 2006, 04:35:27 pm: It helped me to enable the option \"Keep maps loaded\" in pssetup, however it adds to the stuff littering the memory (my record in memory usage was something around 900MB, 500 in Ram, the rest in swap).

Someone else posted another approach today, look through the most recent postings. But I haven\'t tested it yet, so I can\'t say anything about that.
Title:
Post by: LigH on March 19, 2006, 07:10:38 pm: Of course, you will have to use a rockpick to dig diamond crystals.

And of course, we are not allowed to tell you here in the board, where to mine in game. Ask that in game.
Title: Gregori's unradable page
Post by: VMann on April 08, 2006, 04:23:37 pm: Does this quest work now? I got a translation, gave the page back to Gregori, and he... did not understand what i say to him.
I wonder if a have to tell him the sentence (what i supposed from his question about it), like i did, and if i have to do so, do i have to tell him the sentence in one exact manner (with the right punctuation)? Is there perhaps a mistake in the system, so i have to say something else than it should be (like the \"mistery\" in a different quest)? Or is there perhaps any developement related cause that this quest does not work?

Whatever it is, i\'d like to know if possible (i don\'t want to encourage making spoilers!). And if someone has already finished that quest, maybe he could tell me what my problem is privately (again to avoid spoilers).

Thank you for everything you can do for me

Post by: Karyuu on April 09, 2006, 07:51:02 am: Make sure you have no other quests unfinished, and that you\'re indeed targeting the right NPC.
