Cragwind Ridge QA Pass

[Jakkal]

I've been asked to go over this chunk to make sure it's ready for cleanup. I'll be going over the quests to make sure they work properly. I will not be doing an item/reward pass. I might set up items on named mobs if I can find their loot table.

I will be going down the list based on their order in our database, which is not necessarily the same order that players would get them.

Chunk Script:
Set the Chunk Script so any Cyclops in the chunk has a chance to drop Mistral Slivers. It is quest independent, meaning they could drop for anyone at any time and are not beholden to any quest or questline.


Quests:
Oct 3rd, 2020:
Death From Above: Complete. Originally this quest had no objective. I've added the objective of the same name as the item to be more consistent with other item-starting quests. Item will drop from any mob in the chunk. Set up quest script so that item is not removed on abandon, because it is needed to retake the quest.

Big Dumb Brutes: Complete. I set it up so when you reach the Griffon Launchpad, it immediately changes your compass to the first scouting location, then it proceeds from there. This quest was a timed quest with originally a 1:30 timer on it. I found this amount of time was impossible to do even with GM speed set to 3000. For now I have set the timer to 5 minutes. I was able to complete it within 2 minutes so I suspect this is good enough for players who don't have the GM speedboost. I also created a specific griffon mount for this quest that will not let you summon it outside of the chunk. Animated the markers with the big portal looking particle effect so they're easier to see.

Codex of the Wind: No Changes to the quest script. Made a generic script for all the mobs involved and set them up.

Mistral Shards: So it looks like this quest used to be "Codex of the Wind Part 2" and things start to make more sense if you use the objective from CotW2 on this quest (Where no objective was mentioned). I've set it up with that objective, and I've also set up the dialogue so that you can hail him and have him repeat it. I know it's not much but if you weren't paying attention the first time, it's nice to be able to go back and check.



Mobs:
Oct 3rd, 2020:
Xinik: Added loot table. 5 different hands armor.
Sorlak: Added loot table. 1 item "Sorlak's Eye"
Hurntok: Added loot table. He has 9 items listed under his name in our database. 5 of them are hands armor that looks like it was added post F2P. I've left those off for now as they also look like they could be some kind of quest reward. But just noting the existing of the other drops in case we need to add them later.
Grolash: Added loot table. 2 belt items.
Brekal: Added loot table. 5 items. 4 leggings and hands armor.
Kranox: Added loot table. 7 items.
Oct 4th, 2020:
Rezorik: Added loot table. 1 item. (Necklace)
Slanium: Added loot table. 7 items.
Loshan: Added loot table. 9 items.
Garlax: Added loot table. 4 items.
Farnix: Added loot table. 3 items.
Frug: Added loot table. 6 items.

Notes for myself for the cragwind Weapon Quest:

From Facebook: (Note, at some point SOE changed the 100 slivers to 30 for a dull shard. This is a change I will stick with because 500 is a ridiculous waste of time).
Step 1: Collect 100 Mistral Slivers (x5)
Step 2: Convert 100 Mistral Slivers into Mistral Shards (x5) *This does not have to be on the same player, one player can have 3 while another has 2, or any combination that equals the group having a total of 5*
Step 3: Take 1 Mistral Shard to one of the Lesser Shrines and put it into the pot
Step 4: Defeat the mobs that appear
Step 5: Find the shard piece that appears on the platform in a random location and place it back in the pot
Step 6: Repeat steps 4 & 5 until a named mob appears and defeat it
Step 7: Choose a player to loot the ENERGIZED MISTRAL SHARDS *This must be on ONE player*
Step 8: Repeat this once at each of the 3 shrines, then repeat it 2 more times at the Lesser Shrine of your choic. Must have a total of 5 Energized Mistral Shards.
*completing it once at each of the 3 shrines completes the quest "The Lesser Shrines", but you will need 2 more times to have enough to do "The Wind Shrine" quest.
Step 9: Take the 5 Energized Mistral Shards to the Wind Shrine and toss them into the pot
Step 10: Defeat the boss and adds that appear to complete "The Wind Shrine" quest.
Step 11: Turn in for your Cragwind weapon
Hope that helps, been a long time but I recall doing it many times. Sorry Telon Adventures didnt have the walkthrough parts written up. Never got around to it as there were only like 3 of us doing it while playing the game, and all my notebooks have long been lost.

From Elquar's wayback dives: https://web.archive.org/web/20080407092 ... ails/5301/

"This quest now works, though it requires a number of steps that can be difficult to understand. My guide is for doing this in addition to the "Shrine of the Wind" quest.

First, you need to collect 500 mistral slivers, which drop from any cyclops in the zone. These are uncommon drops and can take ma-any hours to collect. Multiple people can collect these slivers, as long as they each get 100 slivers.

Then, you go back to Zarglax and ask him to convert your 100 slivers into 1 dull shard. You will need 5 dull shards, hence the 500 mistral slivers.

Now, head out to one of the lesser shrines, all three are found in the northeastern part of Cragwind. Two of them you need to find the teleport pad "Eye of Tempest" or "Eye of Cyclone" and use them (insert your dull shard) to teleport up to the actual shrine. Or use flying mounts, either works.

Designate one person in your group who is going to collect the energized shards, since they need to collect all 5 from the lesser shrine events.

Have one person insert a dull shard into the cauldron, a message will appear on your screen about chunks shrewn about, in addition to having one golem spawn. Kill the golem, and have your designated engerized shard looter run around the shrine until they find a pulsating chunk of mistral on the ground, which they must pick up and replace in the cauldon, which spawns another round of mobs and chunk of mistral on the ground. Repeat this over and over until a named spawns, then have them loot the chunk from the boss and place it in the cauldron one last time to receive an energized shard.

Repeat this step for each lesser shrine, and you also need to repeat a shrine twice more to get a total of 5 energized shards.

Once you have the 5 energized shards, you may head over to the Shrine of the Wind, which is in the southeastern part of Cragwind. Place all 5 engerized shards from one person into the cauldon, and wait around for the waves of golems and cyclops to come. It can take several minutes. Again, just keep fighting the waves until a boss spawns, and you're finally finished with this quest series!"

I've been working on the Cragwind weapon quest and I think there's something missing - or I just missed it, which is entirely possible.

After successfully completing Codex of the Wind - 5299 and then Mistral Shards - 5421, Zarglax gives Shrine of the Zephyr - 5300.
I go to the shrine, drop the shard in the pot and the Ghost Cyclops spawns. I hail him and talk through his text. At the end, he despawns and a dervish spawns - Spawn of Aeons(or something). I kill that (nothing to loot on the corpse) and return to Zarglax. I hail and do the quest turn in and then that's it. There's nothing linking to a next quest or the option to turn in the Mistral Slivers.

I took a look at the Cragwind Progress Thread (https://www.vgoemulator.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=3899) and I think the next quest in the line should be The Lesser Shrines - 5301, but I couldn't find a way for Zarglax to give it to me. I thought maybe I needed to have the Slivers available to turn in, so I went and farmed a bunch. I've got 190, but he still wouldn't give me any dialog to convert them. I finally used the command .quest offer 5301 to get it and I can now exchange the Slivers for Shards.

Did I do something incorrectly for him not to give me the quest automatically, or maybe didn't do something that I needed to in order to get it?

I've done every other quest in that cave (except the Pincers one - spawns and drop rate not worth it). The only one left outstanding is the one to go to the Uuvari camp, but I can't see how that would affect this line.

[Curby]

I'm guessing this quest line is one that's unfinished at this point?

After finishing The Lesser Shrines - 5301 and getting 3 Energized Shards, I'm not able to go back and get any more. The pots on the shrines aren't clickable anymore. Trying to complete Shrine of the Wind, the pot there isn't clickable either.

It's been an interesting quest to this point and the number of quests at Cragwind in general is a lot. I'll file this one away and make a point to come back to it at another time to see how it finally plays out.

Thanks for your hard work!

The only quests that have been worked on are listed in my post above. I know we did not set up the weapon questline yet because between the packet collection from Live, the changes SOE made, and the information available to us, everything was contradictory. It was put on hold.

Another designer did work on this chunk briefly for a time, and they might have had some quests up that I haven't gotten to, but I would ignore anything that is not in the above linked post. (They may be set up incorrectly or are outdated by current standards).
