When Veteran Sixfish offers me my reward for killing the gataro podlings, he offers me both "Revanant's Sleeves" and "Vicar's Sleeves." I don't remember being offered a choice, and the Vicar's Sleeves are really cleric sleeves.

I believe this item presentation comes directly from live packets. Posting bug to get developer feedback.

If it was available to the class based on its item filters, then it is presented. A content team member would be responsible for anything that requires human thought as far as which rewards are available to which classes. There is not enough variety in the logs to patch all of that together.

For Isle of Dawn, there's only one item that is offered for almost all of the quests. Usually it's in the name of the item to tell who gets it.

Vicar: Cleric
Cavalier: Paladin
Rake: Rogue
Scout: Ranger
Mentalist: Psionicist
Defiler: Blood Mage

..I can't remember the others, but I'm sure it's on the armor sets.

But these would be the only one that was shown to players. I know, it contradicts what I said earlier, but this is how IOD was.

[John Adams]

Jak, this is something the content team can look into, fix, and consider moving forward when building quest reward data. Let's make the change to this quest now, for practice.

[Jakkal]

I'm looking at the editor now, for the quest "Warming Up." There's a tab for "Rewards" but when I click on it, it says "Not Implemented". I don't see anywhere else on it where I can edit it.

[John Adams]

Oh, hmm. I thought the rewards were configured in Lua. Maybe not. If they are not, I will see about adding that editor page asap. Sorry about that.

[Jakkal]

NP, just wanted to make sure I was doing it right

[zippyzee]

You can add rewards through Lua but they are in a table for the main rewards.

However, the code is using the class associated with the item to determine if it should be offered. Until we have a plan to manually deterrmine which rewards can be offered to which archetypes (which apparently takes some thought, as some rewards are not usable by certain archetypes but are offered anyway) then there is no way to fiddle with the database or scripts to make this happen.

[John Adams]

FWIW, I added Quest Rewards editor last night, and discovered those quests are a little confusing, so I will get with Zippyzee once he's returned, maybe after the holidays, and we'll get the entire process documented in the wiki.

For now, stand down on this defect. There's a learning curve.
