Plains of Anguish Progress

Status 45% (34/75)
Issues:

• All 3 Archbishop Drakas spawn points up at once. Should he be marked as unique? Appears these are pathing points.
• Both Teryn Valso spawn points up at once. Should he be marked as unique? Appears these pathing points.
• Need ability to track objectives to "bleed" for Unmarked item quests. See solution described in discord (https://discord.com/channels/2228687004 ... 4976221184)
• Quivering Creation, Shadowy Body, and Spectral Necromancer are quest-triggered spawns, not static spawns.
• Possible duplicate quests identified. Will finish mapping everything out here before I try to confirm.
• Draethiel are NPCs should probably all be PHs for each other. Only 4 Forsaken Farmers and quest needs 20 killed. Similar, though less severe situation for Forsaken Villagers.

Intentional Deviations:

• The following NPCs are on chunk respawn timer for testing:
  • ForsakenTownCrier - 2 hrs
  • Mayor Tresan - 2 hrs
  • Archbishop Drakas - 2 hrs
  • Ba'alesaz the Forsaken - 2 hrs

Lots of updates today. About 35% of the chunk knocked out.

[Jehlicka]

Hi mate, just few notes to do not forget to tell you later on:
- pls, when you create a script for a questgving NPC, check the line "greeting" under "function hailed(Npc)" . When using Dialog generator, it will create some NPC'S greeting text (sometimes more than one), but unfortunately, it must be manually copied from the bottom of the script into this greeting line. I can do it later on during the cleanup, just let me know, if you want to save your time and skip it.
- quest id 6231: just tried to do it and I think we should increase the % chance to loot Repulsive Body Parts item from the Cartheon Creation mobs. Now 25%, but the graveyard area is too small and you have to wait for repop. I'd recommend to have it 50%

[Xellic]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback! This is my first “real” chunk, so it’s the best opportunity to learn. I’ll check the dialog stuff when I pop back on. As for the repulsive body parts, I used the chart Jakkal referenced in her tutorial. I can see your concern, given the smaller quantity of mobs in the area, and it makes sense.

[Jehlicka]

No stress, as I said, I can do it once you finish your job there.
I am ContDes who makes the final chunk look (i.e. placing and combining mobs/NPCs, creating their pathing, dialogues, animations, greeting texts when not collected, making POIs, popups etc, and also testing everything + creating the scripts for non-quest NPCs).
Also, I am setting harvesting from the mobs (mostly skinning, lumberjacking and quarrying)

Mr. Dwarf Rogue at your service!

[Jakkal]

I realized that Captain Dreavers was missing from our collects. I have recreated him and all his ghostly glory (including horse). Some assembly may be required.

[Xellic]

Drop chance for Repulsive Body Parts increased to 50% at Jehlika's suggestion. Updated status of main post. Starting work on last bit of the Karas Garno quest chain today.
