The following quests have been updated to fix issues:
- Barl's Extended Duty Contract
- The Pollen of Haos

More updates (3/23/2008):
- Willam's Lock
- Enchanted Jongleur's Balls

- Gregori unreadable page
If you are currently working on these quests, please try continuing from the point at which you were last at and if that does not work try going to the point at which you were assigned the quest.
If you have any issues, please PM me with details or give me a nudge on IRC and we can work out issues on a case by case basis.
Thank you. :)
Edit: To update list.

Quest: Save Edrich sultov his reputation
If you have this quest active, this will make sense, if not - do not worry about it.
axe has become small battle axe - please adjust accrodingly
If you have already dealt with the axe aspect, then you need not worry either.
-
I'm currently doing Edritch's reputation quest, which I've done previously with another char, but it is completely different this time around. No axe at all. Instead he asks for 5 of a certain item. No problem, I get the 5 items, but now how to give them to him? If I try to give them to him as 5 separate items, it tells me he doesn't need that. Same if I try to give him 1 at a time. I've had similar issues on other quests, and the solution was to stack the items and give them as a stack. But here, the item in question is apparently not stackable (at least I'm not able to get them to stack, it treats them consistently as 5 separate items). How do I get the items to Edritch?
-
I'll take a look at it tonight.

Ermm nowhere does it say it has been fixed onlyI'll take a look at it tonight.
I would advise a little patience and respect for someone who gives up a significant amount of her free time to improve the quests for you

..these kinds of things will happen, the change appears to have an unexpected result which I am currently working on. Once I get a stable change in place I will be more than glad to work with you to adjust your situation accordingly. Please be patient and mind your tone.

Quest: Save Edrich sultov his reputation
I have had to change this quest again to adjust for an unforeseen issue with my original update. :oops: This only affects anyone who has the quest active as I just put the change in. If you currently have the 5 items he will not take you can do one of the following:
1) Contact me via IRC and I will help you.
2) Make a petition in game with the details, and a GM will assist you when they are available.
3) A combination of 1 and 2.
-
Ok, that worked, all done now. Thank you much.

I've just completed this quest today with the required items (that appear to be different to before) and it worked fine. Thanks for your work on this.

No, it has been updated - which may be why he's not responding to you if you were caught in the wipe. Try to find a GM or myself in game or on IRC and we can help make sure you get back on the correct track or determine what the problem might be.

Quest: Emporium Raid
I'm still stuck in this quest. I had lost an item of the quest in a server crash before you worked on it, Rizin. I now got me the item again with another char, but neither the NPC who gave me the quest nor the one I was interrupted at by the crash react to anything I tell them. Not what I'm supposed to say now, not anything I said earlier or. Also none of them will take the item from me. Any idea how to get the quest going again? I've run out of ideas.

I'm not allowed to send pm's and IRC - will have to figure out the chat-client of my browser first. :-/
Well, just managed to finish another one of my quests, maybe that did some good, if not I'll take a look at IRC.
Edit: OMG! I finished 2 other quests today (after months) and now Emporium Raid worked, too! I've completed it. Will work down my list of quests further now.

Well, I wrote Rizin a PM but I still don't have an answer after one week. I guess it just takes some time to look up certain things. :)

I apologize, crazy week of catching up. Response sent, would be better on this one if you can find me on IRC, lots of variables for this question.

Thank you very much. :) Well, I don't like IRC but I see its merits in comparison to a PM though. I'll see what I can do.

You can also post a petition or send any GM a /tell. If a GM is online they can poke Rizin on IRC for you since we're always there while GMing.

Greetings. This is my first post, so please forgive me if I do something wrong. I just want to say I've been playing Planeshift for only about 4 weeks now, and it's my first experience with an interactive character driven online game like this. My humble opinion is, I think the Quests are TERRIFIC! I appreciate how there are some easy ones, some semi easy ones, and some that are challenging and difficult. I really enjoy how there is a mystery, or several, going on, and certain NPCs know about parts of it, and others have no clue, and still other's just won't talk to you about it. Apparently I just haven't asked the right things in the right way yet, and that is a delightful part of this experience. Gugrontid is a kick, learning the 'trick' there by myself was very satisfying. As time goes by and I get better at this, I appreciate how the quests have me running all around the Dome, or at least the level of the dome I seem to live in. Now I know where some places are. So, kudos to you Quest and world creators. javascript:void(0);
I also think the Library is brilliant. In one Quest I had to look up some statistics, and I ended up wandering around the library for 3 hours real time, reading every book I could open. Who knew the books open? That was a great discovery. And now, in game and in character, I know so much more about this world, and different parts of the mysteries of Ylaikum.(sp?) And I am so aware of what I don't know, there is a lot more to discover.javascript:void(0);
thumbup
Clap Finally I also have to give thanks and appreciation to the players whom I've encountered. Almost everyone is helpful, some even to the point of leading me places when I've been hopelessly lost in the hinterlands, giving me tria, and fighting off rats for me.
Thank you all for your creativity, your collaborations, and thanks to the players who are so kind to a newbie like me. Blessings of Xiosia (sp?) to you all!javascript:void(0);
Cool

Greetings :)
I have a question about quests. Is there sucha thing when for some reason (bugs for example) getting a quest is blocked?
I mean i know from whom the quest can be got, i did all the others i know of, but still not get that particular one. So should i search further what other quests needed to be done to get that one or possibly not gettable this time? Quest name don't want to write here because not want to give OOC hints.
thanks in advance

So far I haven't come across any "bugs" for not getting a quest. Everyone I've talked to, who thought they had an issue, I've been able to trace back to legitimate reasons. Feel free to give me a nudge on IRC if you want to talk about it.

In the first post, you name the "Brintec fur research quest" as marked for "the next fix". It is never mentioned as fixed later, what's the status of this quest?
-
Sorry for the confusion. I had done some post consolidating and the wording is a bit confusing.
Yes, that quest has been fixed.

hi,
I'm back after a year of absence and i have tried to complete some old quest.
I'm stuck with "Vaieund book on Octarch's chess" I have the book from the last time i have played, but now is no wai to get the quest completed, Vaieund don't want the book!
Is a update problem or a common "get the rigth key" problem? :)
thanks,
f.

If you've been away for a year, you will need to find a gm in game (or myself is you see me) to help get you back on the right track from the fix going in. You can also try IRC for locating someone.

First of all, let me congratulate everyone who has been working on the quests, they are fantastic. I've almost finish a particular quest, but I found it very hard because the NPC did not accept the right sentence which was something like Thr[...] the Dw[...] [....] where I have removed many letters to avoid spoilers, but it did accept Thr[...] Dw[...] [....] , where you remove the "the".
I spent quite a lot of time on it before I found a post where a similar issue happened which helped me.
Perhaps, you could also make the NPC understand similar answers (which I have tried), such as "in the sky", "above your head..."
(we should perhaps erase this post once it has been treated to avoid spoiler).
The quest I am referring to is D[...] W[....] wants the messenger b[...].

Can you please either e-mail me directly, including your character name and details or fill out a petition in game so that I can get all the information I need to address your issue.
-

The following quests have been updated to fix issues:
- Drinks in the Deep
- Talad's Eyes and Ears
- Ineffective Affections
- Govell Mihdren Needs Tattoo Ink
If you are currently working on these quests, please try continuing from the point at which you were last at and if that does not work try going to the point at which you were assigned the quest.
If you have any issues, please file a petition in game, PM me with details, or give me a nudge on IRC and we can work out issues on a case by case basis.
-
I apologize if this issue has been addressed elsewhere, but the NPCs are acting as though they don't want quests to be completed.
I have tried to work on three quests (since the installation of 0.4.03), and in all three the NPCs have refused my trades.
The quests are:
- Liera's supplies
- Vladovic needs dried Maajo
- Lori's little delivery
Thank you for any help, and sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question.
-
We have found a small issue which should be correct at this time; however if we restart the issue may come back until we have time to catch the right people tomorrow. So please be patient, I'll post back here when all looks good.

Greetings,
The quest "Saving Easamau's family home" seems to be bugged for my character. I've wasted alot of time trying to get an npc (K[...] J[...]) to accept my trade to give him what he requests (in response to "about t[...]") and had no success. So i've made a new character to get to this point in the quest (there goes another couple of hours) and it turns out the npc accepts a simple "yes" which it still does not for my other character (so i gave this character what he is supposed to get from that npc but now i cannot get D[...] W[...] to accept my trade).
I would also like to say that i find the quest system frustrating and terrible.

I'm sorry that you feel that way, but if you put this information in a petition (from the character with the issue) I'll be glad to take a look when I'm in game. If you already have, I've been away a bit moving and it's the start of the quarter so work is busy and I"ll be playing "ketchup" with petitions tonight and tomorrow.

I'm having an irritating problem with a certain quest, I won't say which one but suffice to say that a certain librarian keeps saying that he will sell me some ink and paper in exchange for some tria and then, when said tria is offered the trade is declined. I can't complete several quests at the moment due to bugs like this. In another case I simply need to inform someone that some mail has been delivered. I believe I've tried every possible combination of words under the sun to convey the message but still with no luck. Other quests I can start but halfway through find that I have no-where near the necessary skills to complete and so must put them aside for what will probably take months to achieve. All this is very frustrating and I think it would be worth the developers considering putting in some form of basic requirement checking and spending a bit more time debugging and testing quests before making them available to the rest of the user community.
Other than that, great game. I love it.

as for the first it's a limitation of the engine. if you untarget him he won't remember offering you that. Just start again to ask for ink and paper and *DON'T* untarget him
-
I tried that, didn't work I'm afraid. Someone else has suggested that he will only accept individual tria, rather than a hexa or whatever.

correct that is an engine bug that has not been fixed. it has also been posted on the forum several times if you had searched.

Hi. I had a problem with Xargon Guurn`s quest. When I completed it and he told me to chose one reward there was a window with a list but for 10 minites I couldn`t do anything with it, the items wouldn`t hightlight or anything and the button "get a reward" couldn`t be pressed. So I closed that window but because of that I don`t have a weapon now. And this is sad =_=
-
I'm trying to finish the Harnquist one where you have to get him two apples, and I gave him the apples. But then he says something like "take this as a reward". But I don't get anything. :( Any help?
-
This sounds like an easy quest to me, Harnquist might only have given you some little tria. If you already had some tria in your inventory you might not even have noticed. ( also it can be you need to re-open the inventory to see the reward )
There's no trade window when he gives you the reward, but you can always check it in the 'system-tab' what he handed over to you.
In the questbook you can see if the quest is comleted.

The Pollen of Haos
Stuck at Lori Tryllyn
I say "It's for Vladovic Chel-Astra."
She replies "Excuse me? I must have heard you wrong."
Is this a known bug?
-
There appears to be 5 bugs (http://tinyurl.com/yd8g9jh) associated with that quest. Perhaps one of them is the problem you are having.
Added bonus is the advanced search example for flyspray.
-
kay so. i was in the middle of like the Dark wanderer, quest and whatnot to get my "Pet" and all those quests are gone since the update. and i went back to talk to the npcs again and they had no info for me, and i tried to complete them by giving the needed items and it didnt work:( ahhh! what do i do? :@#\
-
All open quests have been reset yesterday. Start it again.
Finished quests stay finished, you won't lose those.

Sadly Pollen of Haos is still not functioning properly. When I just gave Kisatol his 60 circles I got two options (Yes, a little and no). He could not recognize and respond to either of them. Hopefully the magical beings who fix such things will take care of it at some point.
-
Note 80% of quests now have prereqs ie other quests that must be done first before you get the quest in question. In some cases there is just one quest you have to do first. In other there is a whole chain of quests that need to be done. If you are having a problem getting a quest it is most likely due to the fact there is a required quest you need to do before you can unlock the quest you want.

GREAT XIOSIA's XYLOPHONE !!!... HOW will we EVER know what ones we need?????? This is endless "un-fun".
Please consider :
1) Just because you worked hard on the design, does not mean it is fun. ( I am a composer, I know about this )
2) Entertainers are the worst person to decide what is entertaining.... the audience is.
3) It appears to me.... your audience is not being heard.
4) Nobody in the local bar is dancing to the Nutcracker Suite... instead, you see the Mackarena, or the Cotton Eyed Joe... because SIMPLE is what the public relates to .... not endlessly compicated, full of frustrating zings, gotchas, stings, .... and disapointements...
... what are you doing to us?

The introduction to learning crafting that is initiated (by menu) with Harnquist may have a problem.... at least for me it does.
I've been away for a while (back from 0.3.x days) and ignoring my old character I went and created two new characters. Now, somehow this quest got completed with one and I have no idea how, and the second character, tonight was traveling to see the dwarf (Nalri Grimtorr) for the next part, however I had an app-crash (0.5.7.1) and when I restarted it, I had yet to have spoken to this NPC, and my quest was to only be found in the completed section. This NPC, now, apparently has no further instructions/requests for me as the quest is considered (PREMATURELY) completed. >:( I want to be able to craft metals with these characters, and it's looking as if I don't "cheat" by passing on materials from one character to another, I won't be able to.

I doubt a client crash can prematurely complete a quest, likewise a server crash can't due to how it's coded.

I doubt a client crash can prematurely complete a quest, likewise a server crash can't due to how it's coded.
I realize that neither crash should cause a quest to prematurely complete... a well coded client and server never would do that. It just makes me wonder why I've got this set of problems, am I alone with it, or is there a bug there? I wish I knew either way right now.
