Tomb of Lord Tsang progress thread

[Amnath]

Hailing set up. Trainers and some of the Villager types have no dialog recorded.

First set of quests set up that linked from Magi Hold:

Aid the Lotus Fist including The Gremlin Menace, The Menace Grows, Otherworldly Artifacts, The Head of the Beast, and then To Lotus Hold.

Again, at the intended level, The Head of the Beast may not be possible due to the respawn timer, but you can try. You can fail. I enjoyed failing many times in this game.

[Amnath]

At Lotus Hold, quests and their associated content should be up:

Orc Assault, including Martok Scars, Cleansers, Dreadbringers, Treasure, Tao's Idol of Focus.

The "chores", Collecting Resources, Tiger Uppercut, Ostranomical, Reptile Patrol, No Guts No Gorey.

Gataro quests: A Light in Dark Places, Strike First Strike Hardest, Planning Ahead.

Then The House of Fallen Leaves.

Finally The Jin'Ka Forest, The Legend of Lord Tsang, The Jin'Ka Wardens with phases for Ikara, Jien, and Koi.

I haven't touched the mobs much yet, but, I haven't seen more than five or six or possibly eight in a pile, which is customary for solo quests in other games.

The Orcs are set up along the beach.

At the moment, for "No Guts, No Gorey", there won't be any gorey, because we have no guts.

And I don't just mean about these particular boars; we have no guts at all.

I'll try to come up with some alternative to get that to work. The Gataro area is not ready, and I don't suggest you go very far into that cave unless you are at least level 4,000.

[Amnath]

Well folks, due to a situation, I had to place the Gataro in a way that leaves it unreasonably discouraging for anyone soloing the quests in a level appropriate way to attempt to enter the cave. This may change later on, but for the time being, you should be able to do them around the skirt of the island.

The Jin'Ka Forest is in service. I don't know if anyone ever told you there's a lot of stuff in there, but, there's a lot of stuff in there. I compacted a lot of it; it was really a lot. So if you get ready to do this line, currently The Nature of the Ulvari is just a click through, it's not a quest with quests in it--through the years, everything got in a jumble with various changes and it took quite a while to sort through the quests and set it up how it is.

To be technical, for example, SOE changed The Tomb of Lord Tsang quest by renaming it to The Legend of Lord Tsang, and then made a new quest called the Tomb of Lord Tsang, which every time they do something it makes the chunk data go missing...I guess they no longer considered it important. But this now makes the solo aspect of the chunk viable, and, considering that some of the other chunks are folded into the Martok thread, I believe all the main Kojan spots are up.

Aside from the dungeons. I'm not sure exactly what stage grouping is at, and last time I checked there was aggro through walls still, but the aggro thing should not really be an issue with places like Arks of Harmony and Gardens of Xia'liu.

[Amnath]

Added in the sub quests as objectives for The Nature of the Ulvari.

Created something fairly nasty so that No Guts, No Gorey can be done.

Placed a notice in the quest Strike First, Strike Hardest about not using the cave during testing.

I've adjusted many of the mobs in the open areas of the chunk; they might need a few more tweaks, but overall it should be reasonably playable at this point.
