Mekalia Quest Progress
Mekalia Quest Progress
Given the nature of Mekalia (Since it had to be rebuilt from scratch as SOE cleared it out before we could do collects) I've decided to make a separate quest thread to the general chunk progress thread.
Edit: @Elquar sent me some links that could be of use, putitng them here since I can't work on it right now.

So yes, I'm going to start rebuilding the quests. Keep in mind that unless we can find the original quest text, it might be left blank for now.
Quests:
PLEASE NOTE: We are missing almost all of the text for the starter area quests. We are not going to try to fill in that text on this pass, we just want to get the quests up and running. Once we have an idea of what players have to do, we'll guess what the text used to be. If someone happens to find an archive, screenshots, or anything with the original text, please send it to me, either here, on discord, or jakkal@gmail.com
Roll the Bones - Complete. This is a level 5 quest but it's the first one we have in our database, once scripted, I can copy it to make more quests. So I've gone ahead and set this up. I'm not sure if it had a prereq, but we'll worry about that later.
Mass Extermination - Set up. But not complete. We're missing all of the quest dialogue so if anyone has that or knows where you find that, please let me know. Right now the grates are set up such that if you click one, you can't click it again. This persists through quest resets and abandons. So we can't keep it like this. I feel like forcing the players to go to individual grates is tedious and unnecessary for a level 1 quest (The first quest, infact) so I might change this later.
Spread the Word (x4) - I've created all four of these quests as they're the 'go to your archetype trainer' quest. Added "Gnomish Bag" as a reward.
Inform Hepca (x4) - Set up but not complete. We don't have any of the text for this one, and I'm not sure if there were any rewards. Thinking about just copying the IOD reward structure for Mekalia.
Hepca's Plan - Part 1 - Set up but again, no text. No rewards yet. Should have bracer rewards. Decided to make these go in the proper order so they'll get arms first.
Other:
Created the Firebrand Lotus that is needed for the Mass Extermination.
Created a Smoke FX object for treated Ventilation Grates.
NPCs:
Plepa Ethystam - Redid script from scratch
Pirufrateg Kezitun - redid from scratch. Added "Spread the Word" to the script so it can be turned in.
Cecmurub Zorcin - redid from scratch. Added "Spread the Word" to the script so it can be turned in.
Catripo Aztop - redid from scratch. Added "Spread the Word" to the script so it can be turned in.
Cuscat Aretixenald - redid from scratch. Added "Spread the Word" to the script so it can be turned in.
Hepca Tasenonom- redid from scratch. Added "Inform Hepca" to the script so it can be turned in. Added "Hepca's Plan, Part 1"
Created Sorion Widow and Sorion Arachnid for the quest "Hepca's Plan - Part 1"
Items:
Pouch of Firebrand Pollen - was missing from the database, had to recreate it.
Satchel of Firebrand Pollen - was missing from the database, had to recreate it.
Gnomish Bag - Added to the rewards for Spread the Word. The bag did not exist and I had to recreate it based on the Vulmane Bag.
Pristine Sorion Mandible - was missing from the database. Recreated it for the quest "Hepca's Plan - Part 1"
