Ca'ial Brael progress thread

Known Issues

- There have been reports that the difficulty in the tunnel to the Glade of the Lost is a bit too difficult at a normal level. I will look into the NPCs in that tunnel and verify there are no pathers in there.
- Civic Diplomacy Instructor needs training "material".
- (updated and documented in this forum post: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=5010#p27768 )The quest Holding Tongues requires "Gataro Tongue" that did not exist in the DBE at the time of the quest being implemented. Instead, this quest will use "Slimey Lizard Tongue" until the right item is available.
- (This appears to have been fixed with the update discussed in this message : viewtopic.php?f=59&t=5010&start=10#p27891 ) On the quest Faking It, there seems to be no good documentation on the item returned for this quest so it currently is "Fresh Fish". If information shows up later this can be replaced.
- The quest Harvesting Loves Company has not been implemented yet. When multiple user harvesting is implemented this quest will be able to be finished.
- The Gataro named NPCs Gathrill and Endaron may disappear for a second or two in a few places on their paths (I think this has been fixed but keeping it here just in case).
- As with all chunks, Crafting quests have not been implemented.

Progress so far

I started out working on the quests and everything directly associated to them. Then I came back to non-associated hailing and movement later on.

(I) - item acquired by parley completion... implemented as a conversation option after the parley completes.
(T) - Training/Tutorial quest

Harvesting quests are now ready in CB. Thanks Jakkal for the good tutorial in the wiki.

See Aloran Earthspine in west Ca'ial Brael to start your harvesting.

[Hubert]

Gathrill and Endaron, the two Gataro NPCs in north CB are now pathing. They still disappear at some points on the map but that is minor and I should be able to fix that later.

[Hubert]

I made a good amount of progress on Diplomacy quests in Ca'ial Brael. The Brace Windwhisper line (the wood elf line) is pretty well implemented up to the training quests for Repeals, Evaluations, and Rebuttals training apart from a few issues I'll eventually post a separate thread about once I gather more information.

There is very little information about the Mino quest line (Raki Diplomacy) online. There are many quests in the DBE but I'm having a little trouble finding information to hook them together and create objectives. If anyone has any source of information for this line of quests let me know. It would be a great help. In the meantime I'll do the best I can with figuring out the objectives and prerequisites of these quests. I was able to create the first two diplomacy tutorial quests though for Mino.

There are a few other changes I might need to make. I think I will have to put some other requirements on the Evaluation and Rebuttal training quests as it sounds like they should be limited to certain levels of diplomacy skill (30 and 40 respectively). I'll put updates here when I get those done.

[Jakkal]

This would at least give you the order of the quests: http://daffodil.uk.net/vg/diploraki.html

[OutcastCreatures]

If you need any insight, let m eknow I am running thru the entire area.

[Hubert]

Wow, thanks Jakkal. That link looks very helpful. Now I just have to figure out the objectives. Most can be deduced from the description but I was mostly worried about the order of the quests. Thanks.

Thanks for checking out the area Outcast. Good luck with the UI you're working on.

[OutcastCreatures]

Hubert, you talked to me in-game tonight about the "gm sprint" issue".
I keep a close eye on the quests and such (i don't do diplo), just have to stop dieing in that duengeon area lol
