The Hunter's League Progression

[Jakkal]

Yeah, they changed a lot of stuff for F2P.

Velthezok despawned .. really fast. I died, flew back stared at him for 20 secs realizing theres no way I could kill him and he despawned .. so maybe 1 min after I died? Seems rough. Maybe let us keep the masks and have them part of the turn in? Though theres 3 quests for him so .. idk .. something

[Jakkal]

He despawns 2 minutes after combat ceases. He is not meant to be soloed.

Okay guys, as part of our back-end script updating, I'm going to hit Hunter's league and try to get through all the quests today. I will be posting my progress here.
If I don't leave a comment on the specific quests or NPCs, it means that I've updated it with the new group loot code and the new quest loot code that will make it easier for groups to get drops more like what happened in live VG. For the average player, you will probably not notice a difference in how the loot drops.

Quests edited:
The Hunter's League - Complete
The Hunt Continues - Complete
Aiding the League - Complete
In Search of More - Complete
Moving on up - Complete
No Rest For the Weary - Complete


NPCs edited:
Wasteland Lion Generic - Updated for The Hunter's League but also "A Fine Opportunity"
Ruquasa - He has his own script because he has a special drop for "A Fine Opportunity", so I made that a little more streamlined.
Qa Riverbank Ksaravi
Grazing Goat
Milline - Added Milline's bracers to its drop table. It still needs to be set to be a unique spawn and combined with existing Grazing Goats (need more of them since I think any of these goats should have a chance to spawn Milline).
Ghosts around Turpin's area
Coastal Dracosnap. Added Trained Dracosnap to the list of mobs that drops needed stuff.
Desert Manitcore. (Also set it up for the other quests it has in KG)
Lesser Flame
Coven guys (Added the script to more of the coven NPCs)
Cyclopses (And the ones in Tauthien delta)
Failed Experiment

Tonight's work:
Quests:

The Final Test - Complete
Hunter's League Bounty - Velthezok Skawlra - Complete

The Unmasking (This is not a hunter's league quest but I went ahead and updated it since it was on Velthzok)

NPCs:
Skawlra Rock Gauthek
Skawlra Rock Fairies
Skawlra Rock Sappers
Skawlra Rock Dracosnaps
Velthezok

We have some new code available to us that makes it so mobs can run certain checks before spawning. So now I've set up the wing council guys so they won't respawn at all if Velthezok is up. So you won't see them spawn and immediately despawn, they'll check first before spawning at all now.

I have made the following edits to the quest " In Search of More" ID: 6280

This is a notoriously confusing quest because around the area where you have to kill the manticores, there are mobs for Ksaravi Gulch named "Lasher" which are rats. The Quest very specifically points to a cave to the east but players seem to miss this time and time again. In order to reduce the confusion I have made the following changes to the quest. Note: Quest functionality and drop rates have not been touched, this is entirely just textual changes to give the players a better idea of what they need to do.

The following changes have been made:
POI location labelled "Manticore Barb" renamed to just "Manticores"
POI location labelled "Lasher Hide" renamed to "Lasher Cave"
Quest Text Line altered from "Our stock in Manticore Barbs and Lasher Hides are especially low." to "Our stock in barbs from a Manticore and hides from Lasher Lizards are especially low."
Added Questgiver_Note in chat to say "The Manticores are found atop the Mesa, but the lizards are found in a cave to the east."
