Veskal's Exchange Progress Thread

[Jakkal]

Messing around with this again. Right now I want to try to set all the harvesting nodes back to the T1-T2 that they were during live. Here's the details:

Dry Oak Tree -> Weakened Oak Tree Race: 184 Model #: 0 Harvesting ID: 3
Dry Root -> Weakened Root Race: 296 Model #: 0 Harvesting ID: 3
Knotted Oak Tree -> Barbed Oak Tree Race: 184 Model #: 0 Harvesting ID: 17
Knotted Root -> Barbed Root Race: 296 Model #: 0 Harvesting ID: 17

Large Mineral Cluster (Sandstone) -> Small Mineral Cluster (Basalt) Race ID: 176 Model #:2 Harvesting ID: 2
Small Mineral Deposit (Limestone) -> Medium Mineral Cluster (Slate) Race ID: 176 Model #:0 Harvesting ID: 12

Rich Metal Node (Iron) -> t1 Node "Metal Node" (Copper) Race ID: 172 Model #: 3 Harvesting ID: 1
Metal Vein (Pyrite) -> t2 Node "Large Metal Node" (Tin) Race ID: 172 Model #: 0 Harvesting ID: 7


Firegrass Plant -> Jute Plant Race ID: 175 Model #: 3 Harvesting ID: 4
Silkbloom Plant -> Cotton Plant Race ID: 175 Model #: 2 Harvesting ID: 27

NPCs:

Sprightly Treant - Changed from level 28 to level 16. Added harvesting to them (barbed wood)

I'm starting to work on this again. It's a bummer that the last forum update ruined the URLs of the sites I was using for information. Because it's been so long since I've worked on this, I need to update the scripts to the latest version of the code we use. So I'm going to start with that.

Quests:
Stolen Property - Complete. Updated with current loot handling code.
Caravan Remains (Daytime Required) - Complete. (No changes needed)
In The Night (Nighttime Required)- Complete. (No changes needed)
Stolen Property - Updated with current loot handling code
Assemble a Disguise- Complete. (No changes needed)
Silk Collecting - Updated with current loot handling code
Enchanting - Updated with current loot handling code
Exploiting Allies - Updated with current loot handling code
Needle of Power - Updated with current loot handling code

Mobs:
General Verdant Lurker Script: Edited the drop for "Scrawled Verdant Lurker Order" to start the quest "Striking the Viper". Updated with current loot handling code for "Stolen Property"
Guerilla Clormon - Edited the script on with the current item drop handling code.
Augur Lyld - Updated with current loot handling code for "Stolen Property" and "Needle of Power"
Commander Denoa - Gave her the same script as the other verdant lurkers, also made her a pather with her cougars following her.
Stoneclaw - For some reason this mob was giving Three Rivers/BC Faction (172) I've since removed it.
Greater Blackfur Spiders - Updated with current loot handling code for "Silk Collecting"
Verdant Lurker Mount - Added movement script to the ones in the big field.


Items:
Scrawled Verdant Lurker Order: Edited the script on with the current item-quest handling code.

Other notes:

I've found the following named in the Verdant Lurker headquarters. I can't find the loot for them, it's not listed in the traditional way (Which makes sense as SOE did some major changes to this area for F2P). Commander Denoa, Auger Lyld, Merchant Darqua, Missionary Lejo, Weaponmaster Therular, Cultivator Seria, Barkeep Grumbles, Emissary Rodozi, Fermentor Satr, Metallurgy Relby, Metallurgist Turvor, Armorer Mantor

Today's Work:

Quests:
Return to Raska

NPCs:
Guerilla Clormon - For some reason his faction wasn't set as the same as the rest of the Verdant Lurkers so I've added the faction to him.

Chunk:
Had to edit the chunk script to work with "Return to Raska"

Other:
Riftstone: Made it green again.

[Jakkal]

I'm once again finding myself in the middle of a confusing mess. I think I've come to the conclusion that SOE either forgot to remove some quests, or they intended to have them turn in with Raska (Veskal's Daughter) instead of Veskal, but they didn't set that up either.

So I'm going to try to put them in order here and see what I can figure out with everything "on paper".

281 Stolen Property - Given by Veskal. Turn in to Raska
283 Striking the Viper - Given by an item that drops while doing Stolen Property. Turn in Raska
284 Assemble a Disguise - Given by Raska. Turn in Riker Avin
291 Silk Collecting - Given and turn in with Riker Avin
292 Enchanting - Given and turn in with Riker Avin
|-- 5129 Exploiting Allies - Given and turn in with Clothbinder Iathu. This is concurrent with Enchanting.
294 Needle of Power - Given and turn in with Riker Avin
8788 Return to Raska - Given by Riker Avin. Turn in with Raska
305 The Second Phase - What doesn't make any sense here is that this is supposed to go directly after Striking the viper. But if you do that, then the whole disguise stuff is unnecessary. This is given to you by Raska. I think it's supposed to autocomplete and turn into Plan of Attack.
306 Plan of Attack - I believe this is a popup quest upon entering the Verdant Lurker HQ. I guess you turn this in with Raska
320 Final Assault - This looks like you get it from the Plan of Attack plans. Ugn. That quest might autocomplete too. It should be given by Raska.

Very seriously thinking about getting rid of Raska and having the player go back and forth between Veskal and the HQ like it was originally set up.

Players were starting to bug report the quests in this chunk despite the big ol' pop up message that it was still being worked on and not to bug report. I've since made some of the quests so they can't be taken in response.

Yes, it's been a while since I worked on it. I haven't had time to come back to it.

[Jakkal]

Back on my bullshit. Going to try to get through more of the Adventuring quests.

Well I was hoping to get a few quests done today, but no, "Phase Stones" has to be difficult with three separate objects (All must be done individually), and a bunch of mobs that have to get spawned. So I can't finish this one before I need to go for the night. Bummer.

Quests:

• Phase Stones: In Progress.

NPCs:

• Hamadrya - Set up basic hail. Working on quests for her.

Mobs:

Objects:

Items:

For the record, I'm placing here the list of the mobs/NPCs. The goal: all mobs need to be dropped by 12 levels.

First check: 320 entities (SpawnIDs) within the chunk to be sorted out and lvl decreased. Decided not to post every single one here, doing the job here:
