Typo bug:

an ironwood block


Extra space after ironwood.

malkier (#5)

#5
Ironwood girders are heavy girders, because if you examine them it says "A heavy girder used to reinforce a mine"
However when you try and reinforce it says "You need a heavy girder to reinforce this location.".
I did make the girders from pine before ironwooding them, as opposed to ironwooding the blocks and then making the girders.

------------------------
Crafting CARVED axle/gear requires a forge (as opposed to FORGED)

"You melt some cedar wood block into crudely shaped small axle."

(Most interesting wood i've ever seen! :p)

--------------
trise has no world map exit ('leave' in the entry room is listed as a command, and doesn't work. 'map' is listed as an exit) -- "Alas, you cannot go that way" on typing leave.

-------------
construct building <anyting> takes quite a while (if you're outside a foundation stone) before you get the 'outside village limits, move closer to foundation stone'

-------------
Random names for the blacksmith/trainer in the cits are awesome! But they are rerolled every time the cit is reloaded (eg when I don't go into it for a while and then enter it). So my blacksmith changes (his|her|its) name regularly. (I quite like it, it makes my cit more interesting to visit :p)
--------------
typo : customier (Hatter) and customier (Pets) vs cOstUmier (costumier correct, customier not).
--------------
mining with xorns - charmies harvest stuff to their inventories so if they disappear (for example, when the player dies regularly in mine caveins ;)) the stuff goes too ... i suppose the 'harvest to inventory' thing makes sense though, it just means you have to remember to get the xorns to drop everything once in a while.

--------------
whilst processing wood, the amount of wood gained could be misleading

Inventory:
(huge) cedar wood block (32)
(huge) cedar wood log

craft 11 1 1
- 1 cedar wood log Lost!
Your product is of above normal quality!
- Gained cedar wood block (34)! --------- count is by quality. eg if i'd made 2 exceptionals the next would be Gained cedar wood block(4)
You gain 250 Woodcutting experience!

<2346/2326hp 1959/1985m 1225tnl 1654/1656mv 609g 597/591pethp I>
Inventory:
(huge) cedar wood block (34)
(huge) cedar wood log

Ie when it says 'Gained cedar wood block (x)!', x is the number of cedar wood blocks of that quality you currently have in your inventory, not how many you actually gained (I only gained 2 in the snippet above)

------------------------------------
One of a kind wood blocks - you create them two at a time, and two exist until you label/drop them, in which case the other is no longer legendary. That is, I can cast identify on/examine 5.block and 6.block and they will both have the "bdieszecandusnofooz "blightedrevenge" Pine wood block" description, but the moment I label 5.block, 6.block has its espace/quality wiped (vice versa). Same for dropping.

Your product is one of a kind! It is truly supreme!
....
- Gained pine wood block (2)!


Also, would it be possible to have an additional keyword for legendary stuff? because I had 1679 blocks in my inventory at the time and was trying to locate the one that was legendary :p. Or perhaps they could be automatically labelled with the name?

--------------------------------
When I drop all the blocks in my inventory (from processing), fill them into a portal, and empty the portal, all blocks have their espace/quality info wiped.

The 'count 2' is because the recipe makes two at a time, but for unique items it should only produce 1, otherwise i'd have two identical one-of-a-kind items :)
Although, the moment I label/drop/container one of them, the other disappears.

Mooncloth
--
Requires: lvl e750 Costumier (Weaving)
create: mooncloth (2)
Ingredients:
100 x cloth
1 x cut moonstone

Specify number of times to perform recipe.
Usage: 'craft 22 6 <count>'

Imbued Mooncloth
--
Requires: lvl e750 Costumier (Weaving)
create: mooncloth (1)
Ingredients:
100 x cloth
5 x cut moonstone

Specify number of times to perform recipe.
Usage: 'craft 22 4 <count>'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not sure if that's just a typo, because I don't have the resources to test the recipes yet. But it says that the ingredients for Imbued Mooncloth recipe create "mooncloth (1)", shouldn't this be "imbued mooncloth (1)"? Or if it's just meant to award mooncloth, since you're using more cut moonstone in that recipe shouldn't it at least award a greater amount of mooncloth than the other recipe?

a blotch of miners bane (28)



Miners bane goes directly into your inventory. Not sure if this is being done on purpose for future craft recipe ingredients, thought I'd throw this up to confirm.

Patch of colorful cave mushrooms grows from the walls.

This was located within a Voidstone wall. So I realized something, something I thought was supposed to work a certain way, but it doesn't, so it's actually bugged lol. I thought we were supposed to harvest mushrooms as we came across them on the mine floor. But this tells me that it's not correctly harvesting mushrooms automatically from a wall (aka stripping). It leaves them on the floor for you to harvest manually, making ones within voidstone impossible to get at. Similar to how crystals were working prior to their bug fix.

Bulwark (Butcher) 5


Bulwark is for armor class crafting? Perhaps, "Scrounger (Butcher)"?

After mining more and pondering more, here is what popped into my head. Possibly change "Bulwark (Butcher)" to "Costumier (Tanning)", this craft could be the processing craft useable for when the salvaging system is put in to the code. As well, after the salvaging code is put in could potentially change the current bone layer of the mine to increase your Scrounger (Foraging) skill, instead of Bulwark (Butcher) as it is currently.

Thought this might be a useful suggest, as another addition to the first quest prize, the quest that is given upon character creation now, with the escorting and what not. Along with the XP award perhaps give some gold, so the newbie could be able to charge some baboos if needed or purchase a beginning craft, such as a cheap one like woodcutting or fishing so they could have a proffesion to sell items from kind of thing. Just a thought lol :)

List of items:

Can bog ore be processed? or is it the ultimate type of metal at the moment and can only be processed at e950 smelting? If its iron I would assume it would be just slightly better than regular iron, maybe lesser dwarven steel?

Xorns will mirror whatever action you perform if it is craft related: If you harvest mushrooms, they do too. If you harvest from an ore deposit, they do too (and then they keep the minerals they pull because they go to their inventory, ive lost diamonds, lots of bog ore, and many other uncuts cuz of this). I thought they were just supposed to pull the stone/dirt and leave deposits for us.

Perhaps make it an option in the construct menu to set the names of the citadel mobs you have...

When you type process <material> for any type of processing that only requires a single ingredient in the recipe, it works perfectly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

living bone
--
Requires: lvl e850 Bulwark (Butcher)
create: living bone (1)
Ingredients:
1 x hardened bone
25 x an animating tonic

For any process <material> that requires multiple ingredients (above recipe is an example), when you type process <material> you receive no output in return whatsoever. For example, holding hardened bone in inventory and typing process bone will result in nothing happening at all. This doesn't make it impossible to process, you just have to search through your craft menu to find the according recipe and follow the syntaxes that way. ie, craft 5 2 1 will start the processing session, given the ingredients are on your character.

To make ingots (smelt ingots from ore), you don't need a forge. For example, I smelt my iron ore in the mines as I'm mining, to make girders. Is this intentional? (I think it should require a forge. On the otherhand, carved cogs from wood require a forge and shouldn't).

I'm not entirely sure about this one, but the mud has crashed twice just when I log in (on Malkier). Once when I connected for the first time, the next time when I logged from one alt back to malk. I was in the mines one time and on the world map another. The thing is, I've logged in and out quite a few times and it's just the twice the mud has happened to crash just as I log in (past the guild motd page, right at the bit where you get dumped into alora). Perhaps it is just coincidence?

Managed to farsight a mob to complete a quest - didn't need to step into the room with the quest master.
It was Gertrude's 'all out of feed!' quest ("explore lillobee's grove in new tarsonis") - i didn't actually step into the room, i just farsighted lillobee, but she still gave me the quest reward/said her part of the quest (she used "say" and I saw it even though I was in my cit at the time; there was another player in lillobee's room at the time and saw the "say" messages too)

(Questing) Lillobee, a druid, lovingly holds one of her pets.
Quest 'all out of feed!': Explore Lillobee's Grove in New Tarsonis (Completed)
[8] all out of feed! (normal)
Lillobee says 'They run through feed faster every day. Ok. I'll send them some extra'
Lillobee says 'sacks of food.'
Lillobee smiles happily.
Quest 'all out of feed!' completed!
- Gained 15 gold!
No exp: Quest too easy for you.

I think "explore" is meant to mean 'actually walk into the room' rather than 'farsight' - i should have to visit the questmaster in person rather than just farsight them and have them detect my farsight :)

Timmy in Tyr should probably have see invisible/truesight.
The other day I gave him a dragonscale and he did the mprog where he makes the choker, but didn't give the choker to me.
Furthermore, I killed him to get it from his inventory but he didn't have it. However he didn't junk his inventory because he still had a dragon talisman i had given him on accident earlier.
(i was unmorphed at the time but might have been invis, unsure - i have eq that bestows invisibility on me, i used 'vis' to become visible but it could have reasserted)

Timmy says 'A DragonScale? Where did you get this?'....Timmy says 'There, finished.' [that was it, didn't give it to me]

---------------------------------------------------------------------
i've been doing some interesting harvesting :D

You harvest an iron set of gemworking tools from a bubbling bog.
You pluck A stained treasure map from a cotton shrub.

From the bog I got the same fur-lined set+hand axe+iron gemworking tools+woodworking saw that many players have been getting from trees. I really like the gift (cotton bolls|trees|bogs), but should it be giving the same gift every time? :p

---------------------------------------------------------------------
interrupting gemcutting just after starting (before "You hold up uncut xxx into the light") gives "an unfinished recipe", whereas the other steps give a name like 'preformed carnelian', 'inspected carnelian'

---------------------------------------------------------------------
