Title: Silk Quests
Post by: jadewillow on January 30, 2011, 09:26:15 pm

Just wondering, my half-orc ranger is level 10 and he does not get the dark silk or queen silk quests when he talks to the NPC. Are these only available at higher levels? Or is there some other restriction?

Thanks.

This is one of the quests in Center, right?

I can pick up both of these quests as a level 9.  Are you sure you are talking to the correct NPC's?  Little girl in wagon - Spider silk, Old lady in wagon - Queen silk, Young lady outside by fire - Dark silk?

Yes, these are the quests in Center. I am speaking to the correct NPCs since I was able to get them with my other character Flynn.

Were you in party with someone else who had the quests completed already?

Nope. I have the Queen Silk quest in my todo journal, but I can't turn any in. I can't even get the dark silk quest, and I did the regular silk quest.

Weird.

Moved to proper forum since there seems to be something strange at work.

Your Half-Orc character?  Maybe you scared the "silk" outta them.  *Winks*

Any ideas on this? Or do I need to ping a GM IG?

What's the name of your half-orc?

Tane Umaga

Any ideas on this, need to check the database? Can we do anything IG?

Hey there, I've been away for a little over a week, so no, I haven't been able to check anything since getting the name of your character. It's not forgotten or anything, but I'm probably going to be playing a fair game of catch-up for a few days, given that work will likely be somewhat insane and personal time will be somewhat limited for that duration.  Thanks for the information provided so far, and if there's more I need, I'll be sure to ask.

No rush for sure. Just wanted to make sure it didn't get lost. Thanks for the update.

I'm not sure if this is even related, but now I am seeing an entry in Tane's quest journal tab with no heading. In the text it says...

"ERROR: blank journal entry: EXP_VOLTREX"

Probably (hopefully) unrelated.

OK, here's what I need from you at your earliest convenience.  You said you cannot get the dark silk quest, correct?  Can you please tell me what, exactly, the NPC says when you talk to her?

Title: Re: Silk Quests

For the Kati quest, I get "....are you interested in helping me out?"

And all I get is the '1. No Thanks' option

=====================================================

On the Talaitha Quest, it is in my ToDo tab and I have 10 Queen Spider Silks in Tane's inventory. This is what he gets.

"Back so soon are you....So far you have brought me 0 Queen Spider Silks, but I still need 10 to complete my pattern."

And all I get is '1. End Dialog'.

Hey there...RL got real busy for me right around the time I asked the question above.  Things are calming down here in a couple days, so I should be able to get back to it.

I thought I had typed out a response to your answers, but apparently it remained unsent.  Anyway, thanks for the information. It will help greatly and let me better see what's happening for your character.  Bear with me a bit longer if you would.

Just checking to see if RL has let you go for a few and you have an update on this?

Oh yes, sorry...working through it, but keep getting distracted. Not forgotten though!

Title: Re: Silk Quests
Post by: Dorganath on May 03, 2011, 11:14:27 pm

Well....

I think I've figured out the problem in both cases.

The short answer:  Tane's not smart enough.

The longer answer: There are standardized steps and checks in the quest system which look for low intelligence, for the purpose of altering the dialog slightly (mostly in what the PC can say).  In these cases, the checks only look for normal or above intelligence, and there's no dialog options for low intelligence, which therefore means also that Tane is not presented with those options, and therefore gets only the "end" options by default, which keeps him from progressing through the tree.

Anyway, whether that made sense or not, I should have that corrected for the next update....the dialog problem, not Tane's intelligence. *winks*

That's the answer for most of my technical service problems at work as well!  Well, not Tane, but the end-user.  ;)

Hey, did you just call Tane stupid?

*toothless grin*

// thanks, that makes complete sense.

Looks like this is fixed with the last update.

Thanks Dorg!
