IOD Crafting Quest Progress Thread

[Jakkal]

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. I'm not going to release it until I've got all the quests up, and tested it on all three crafting classes. There's still some things we need to work out so we're not inundated with bug reports.

Another thing to keep in mind is that any recipe outside of these crafting quests will not work. Period. They all have to be set up manually. I'd like to at least get the level 1-10 stuff working before I release it - again to stave off the myriad of bug reports of "my recipe doesn't work".

I'm desperately trying to prevent VGO from having such a reputation that players think something is bugged before they think something isn't set up yet, or they might need to try something else.

Today's work:
Artisan's Saga: Ruthless Hunter - Almost complete. We're missing information on the part where you go to the temple, and what happens there. If anyone has any quest logs or knows what happens (With that group on the left side of the entrance), please let me know.
Artisan's Saga: Ulvari Requiem - Complete. Needs testing.

Side Quests:
Isle Supplies - Complete (Note: Isle Supplies is a Prereq for Hadin's Tools)
Hadin's Tools - Complete
Taejin's Blade - Complete
Magic of the Swamp - Complete
Magistrate's Runes - Complete

These are all the Artisan Saga quests. There are some side quests that still need to be set up.
After that, I need to do an XP and faction pass.

After that, I need to set up all the level 1-10 recipes.

When that is complete, we will look into allowing players to test.

Today's work:
More Items for Yoshin - Complete
Shina's New Weapon - Complete
Hunter's Blade - Complete

Blacksmith test - Some hiccups but I was able to go through the entire questline. Somewhere around level 6, it's not giving enough XP, then one of the crafting sessions gave 12k (Way too much).

Doing some XP passes real quick before I continue testing on the other crafting classes.

Work in Progress: My toon hit level 4 before getting the first level 4 quest. Going to readjust XP to be 400 for the level 3 quests.

400 still too high, switching to 250.

Ok between level 3 and 4 is perfect. 4 is slightly shy of hitting level 5 before you get the first level 5 quest by about 12%. Going to leave it alone for now since the first level 5 quest is the one where you get the stuff from the burned village (And thus don't do any crafting). That dinged you with 17% into level.

I'm just shy of level 6 after getting the first level 6 quest by about 13%. So Level 5 quests need to be tweaked just a tad. (Or one of the level 4's)

Just picked up a level 7 quest and I still need 38% of a level to ding 7. So the level 6 quests need a boost too.

I dinged level 7 just before getting the first level 8 quest. I'm 16% into level 7.

I just did some of the side quests and they've put me 76% into level 7.

I dinged level 8 after doing Hunter's Blade and then turning in Sanho's report.

I am huge about VGO crafting so I can say that I 1000% appreciate how thorough you're being in terms of getting not just the quest content done, you guys are all awesome!!!

[Jakkal]

Making a quick note here: Added 3x and 5x versions of: Jute Cloth, Mangled Leather and Basalt blocks. Only the BS Copper Ingots and Sheets are set up to take dusts so far.

Started working my through the IOD crafting quests. All has been working more or less okay with only general complication oddities. However, for the past day, I have been unable to access any of the blacksmith crafting stations. Right clicking would lock the character's actions. I could still move around but could not activate any other abilities. Even /camp would not work to relog. Playing with it a bit, for a short while I was able to start the crafting process by switching my character's clothing to crafting gear before accessing the station. But none of the table actions would work and I would have to cancel. That did not lock the character's actions. But since then, I have not even been able to get that far. No matter how I approach it, the character's actions end up being locked and I can only exit the game and try to log back in.

Just wanted to give a heads up. The work that is being done to get this far has been amazing.

That's an issue the devs would need to look into, I'm afraid. Nothing I can do about how one interacts with the world objects. I'll point Xinux to your post.
