Silverlake QA
Silverlake QA
You guys are going to see me jumping around chunks a lot as I'm trying to make the best use of my limited free time to get as much done as possible. I was just working on Blighted Lands, but it's going to need a lot more free time than is reasonable, so I'm starting on Silverlake which has much simpler quests that I think I can get done faster. (Blighted Lands is going to be one of those zones where I need to sit down and work on it uninterrupted for several days).
Tonight's work:
Arachnid Waylayers: Complete. Added (and created) missing gear rewards. Set them to be class specific.
Scouring the Earth: Complete. That's a lot of ring rewards. I'm not sure if they're supposed to be archetype specific (normally jewelry isn't but I'm never sure with the F2P revamping). I'm leaving them alone for now.
Tortoise Cull : Complete. Added two missing quest reward cloaks.
Krenkel's Trap: Complete
Also note: Some of these quests offer food rewards. I've scripted the following so they can be used:
Grandma Nicklebutner's Muffins
Tortoise on the Half-Shell
Fried Green Rusulla

Re: Silverlake QA
Tonight's Work:
Unshackling the Past: Complete. Added class specific gear rewards: Note, a lot of the gear was missing from our database so I had to create it based on the example we had available to us from each archetype. This means that the gear will probably be mismatched if they had different appearances per class. For example, we only had the warrior for the tanks, so the paladin and DK greaves are just the warrior greaves with a different name.

Re: Silverlake QA
Today's work:
Monomaniacal Villagers: Complete. The mobs you're dealing with here need to be cleaned up, but the quest works. I had to create some of the gear rewards and make them class specific.
A Scarcity of Griffons: Complete. I had to create some of the gear rewards and make them class specific.
It All Hinges on You: Complete. Note: The NPCs there will no longer ask you if you want a boost after you bring them the parts they need to fix their fence (I mean it works anyway).
Bizarre Zar : Complete
Halfling Bandits: Complete. Set it up so the halflings have a chance to stealth upon spawn. Still needs some mob cleanup. Added some missing quest rewards.
Item Retrieval: Complete. Though this needs to be tied into the other URT quests. Will look into that when I'm done with Silverlake in general.
Controlling the Situation: Complete. Moved some of the netherbeasts to the other side of the road where some used to be.
Seonid's Meal: Complete. Had to change the description of the item since she's no longer on the road to Misthaven.
Bracelet of Memories: Complete.
Can't verify yet:
URT Hero Mission: The Ambassador's Daughter (This takes place in Forest's Heart and I'm not hitting that chunk yet).

Re: Silverlake QA
Tonight's work:
I did some bug fixes in other chunks so I didn't get much done early in tonight. But here's what I've done:
Summoning the Houndmaster: Complete. I'm not sure what mobs drop the quest item for this. I put it on the Okami for now. I might need to add it to more later cuz this is pretty important. Set the rewards to be class specific and created the ones that were missing from the database.
On this note, I've set it up so you can summon the Houndmaster which relates to:
The Crux of Cairnsworth Hall: Complete but untested for accepting/turn-in. This starts in another chunk but it takes place in Silverlake. So I went ahead and set it up. I made sure the quest elements itself work but I have not tried to take it/turn in as that's in another chunk.
Relic of Courage: Complete. I wasn't really sure if the mobs labelled "Knights of Courage" should drop it, but the quest text implies that anyone down there could have it. I set the drop rate of 1 in 5, it took me about 20 kills to get it. This seems reasonable considering you'll be down there doing several quests anyway. I have not set up the quest reward version to do anything yet. I'm not entirely sure of what it does, but I'm thinking it spawns one of the random named knights in the Hall of the Old Guard. For now, I am leaving it be, however.
Relic of Honor: Complete. Basically the same as the above quest.
Relic of Wisdom: Complete. Basically the same as the above two quests.
Henchmen of Zar: Complete. Set rewards to be class specific and created the missing ones.

Re: Silverlake QA
Tonight's Work: Bwaha, URT stuff. I love these quests.
Item Retrieval - Set as the first quest in the line.
Cleansing the Crazed - Complete. I think I've got the right NPCs/mobs involved with this. I won't know for certain until I get farther in.
Controlling the Situation- Added Cleansing the Crazed as a prereq.
To the Mill - Incomplete. I got it started (I've currently set it so no one can take it though). I managed to get most of the scripts working for this but I didn't get a chance to test it in full. I will do that tomorrow.

Re: Silverlake QA
Today's work:
To the Mill - Complete. Mostly. There's a lot of parts to this and hopefully I've accounted for everything players will do. The only problem I've run into is that currently quest related objects are either involved or not. So if they're involved in a quest, they will sparkle, regardless if they're available yet. Two of the objects with this quest (Grinder and Barrel) aren't available until you've done other parts of this quest - but they sparkle from the start. The devs are looking into a way to allow us to set it up so the sparkles don't show up until the object can be used. But for now, you have to deal with it.
Zarian Netherbeasts: Complete. I had to set up the portals and the spawns, and then have them run around doing their little netherbeast thing. They should be pretty easy to find. Set up the rewards (had to create most of them) and set them to be class specific.

Re: Silverlake QA
Today's work: Sanctuary of Ibuteon: Complete. This looks like it was made as an experiment by SOE for F2P. They seemed to want to do the common MMO thing of adding objectives as you go along in a quest. Only VG couldn't really handle this in any kind of elegant way. So instead what they did was have a quest auto-complete, force another quest on you, put the prior objectives on it (Only completed) and then you continue on.
We found a better way of doing this and this was the first quest I got to set up like that. So as you proceed, new objectives will show up. This is a very complex quest, but it works.
That was the last adventuring quest that needed to be set up in Silverlake. In addition to this, I set up the summoned boss mob Braelok Togusor. I had no idea what this mob was supposed to look like, but I was limited to basing him off one of the existing mobs in Silverlake (Without pestering Xinux for help). I made him a ghostly knight looking dude. I added some nicer loot on him than what was listed above (Since that was for when Silverlake was teens level and silverlake is now mid 20's.
I cleaned up the mobs around the Ruins of Ibuteon. I started cleaning up the zar mobs that aren't on the island. It's not finished, but it's a start.
