Unicorn Mount Quest
Unicorn Mount Quest
Because this quest starts in Thestra, I'm posting this in Thestra Adventuring. Okay, who wants a unicorn mount? Everyone! Let's do this.
Quest #1 The End of Innocence - Complete. Zar area is not cleaned up, so pick flowers at your own risk. I've also set this up so that even after you get the required number of flowers, you can get MORE flowers. This is set up on purpose because in live, if you had all of two kinds of flowers and just needed a few of another color, sometimes you couldn't get that color to spawn at all, thus leaving you trapped on the collections until someone else came by on the quest, or the server/chunk restarted. Suffice to say, that's bullshit and so I've set it up so it won't happen to you.
Quest #2 Myrthion's Cousin - Complete
Quest #3 Journey to Shadow's Edge - Complete
Quest #4 End the Cruelty - Complete
Quest #5 Keys to the Finder - Complete

Re: Unicorn Mount Quest
I hated this quest with a passion hah
Re: Unicorn Mount Quest
Back on this one.
Quest #5. Keys to the Finder. We found the original quest text. So it's set up properly now.
Quest #6. Testing the Finder - Complete.
Quest #7. Unicorns of Kojan - Complete
Quest #8. Extraordinary Response - Complete
I..I just suddenly remembered the date part of this quest. I suddenly got a renewed sense of absolute hatred. Remember guys, remember when one of the foals was MISSING?! And you'd spend hours on this quest just to find out you can't complete it. Yeah. I remember that. Not on my watch, folks, not on my watch.

Re: Unicorn Mount Quest
I've spent the last two days working on "Celebration of Sanctuary". This is the date-feeding quest. I've had to make some changes from how I remember it was done:
1.Originally this quest had you clicking an item next to a mob. It appears that SOE changed this at some point and the unicorn foals are now clickable. (You can't raid mark 'clickable objects', but you can still raid mark the mares).
2. I made sure all the mares actually had their foals. (There was always one missing in game)
3. It looks like you originally needed 15, but the game says it's only 10 now. So that's nice.
4. It used to be that if you weren't sure if you fed a foal, you had to wait for it to stop and check. I've currently set it up so you can click a foal at any time and if you fed it already, it will give you that error message. I might change this back later, but considering how hated this quest was, I might leave this in just so people aren't wasting time (I mean one of those mares had a 45 minute path).
Still working on this one so not currently doable. Just wanted to jot down the above before I forgot.

Otherwise the entire questline should be set up. I have not tested it from start to finish yet (Just as I went along). But I will be testing it over the next couple of days to make sure everything works as it should. Feel free to get started.

Re: Unicorn Mount Quest
I set this up late last year so hopefully I don't really need to do much updating to it as far as the scripts go. But I do need to update anything that's a mob kill drop. So let's get this started.
Re: Unicorn Mount Quest
Quest #1 The End of Innocence - I tried and tried and tried to find a way to set this up so everyone in the group can get the wand when you kill Zar, but we just don't have what we need to set it up - In that when he drops more than one, it becomes stacked. There's no way for us to make it not stacked. The only other option I would have is to automatically put it in everyone's inventory and I'm not comfortable with that either.
Quest #2 Myrthion's Cousin - Complete. Added more time to Laefel before he despawns.

Re: Unicorn Mount Quest
This questline is quite old and it needs to be updated from start to finish. However I'm posting this because of an issue with one of the more notorious quests in this line: "Celebration of Sanctuary"
Something is making the Mares stop their paths. The foals just follow the Mares. The Mares are supposed to stop in very specific locations that will allow the quest update. There is no way for the client to know if a Mare/Foal is moving or not. So they're not supposed to stop until they get to a certain spot and that spot is scripted to allow you to get the update. If they stop anywhere else, the update will not work.
I've set the quest now so that each foal is an objective. If you find yourself going through and some of the foals will not give you the update, please bug report it with the numbers of the foals that aren't updating. If it's the same ones over and over then maybe we can help narrow down the problem.
In the end I might change this quest so that the dates can be fed the foals whenever, and not go through this ridiculous song and dance to feed them when they're stopped.
