#Gathering Tasks Help Megathread

yeah
Hmm, now when I kill the parasites, its not giving the proper amount of pustules. That one said I gained 22, but I lost 5 and have a total of 3 now.
oh yeah
restart
the bugged synthesis is still working in the background by deleting your pustules whenever you get over 13
Oh thats fun haha
it'll fix itself on restart
yeah maybe you can outpace it if you try hard enough...!
ah good deal, worked thanks
So, 2 things.
- The original 15 Corruption Scraps are still in my quest bag.
- When I do a single scrap to use 13 pustules, it will synth, but doesn't give me a a Fasle Corruption Scrap, then deletes any remaining Pustules not used. Tried it on Dragonscales and Trollhide.
yeah, I'll try doing a couple just to see if it does the same thing
find 100 bugs and you'll get a new tag, Bug Hunter. š¤£
I'll do my best haha! For your sake, hope there isn't that many
too many things to work on then
yeah for real, the one about over-synthesizing and synthesizing max you can is one I caught very late and the build was pushed like a minute before it was fixed
Aww that sucks, at least it will be in the next then
And I tried it with 5 scraps that time and it did the same thing. Deleted all pustules and no corruption scraps
whaaat
and it was working fine before this?
and it deleted all pustules, not just the needed ones
Yeah, sadly
I'm wondering if the last two bugs I said are tied together. The 15 original Corruption Scraps might be conflicting with new ones?
hm
wait, you're right
I found the problem there
actually, no...š¤£
I thought I did
rip, got my hopes up haha
so it just stopped working after a bit? Or has it always been like this
Always, haven't been able to make a single corruption scrap successfully
Tier 7, only 34 skinning
ok because I found a small bug with tier 8
I really wanted this to come out without any big bugs hindering things š I'm sorry guys. I need to sleep but tomorrow I'll be on top of this and it'll hopefully be pushed soon
Small follow up here, ran into same issue as Ope, appeared to be loosing Pustules after trying to make 15 Corruption scraps. I logged out, and when I came back, I have a buff showing the synthesizer working hard. Started with a count of 999 (its about 700 still counting down.
On the plus side, it appears I am collecting Pustules again. Treants are spawning Pustules, but stumps do not, nor do imp. I'm lv 27 skinning, so quest lists demonhide (imps), timberhide, darkshroud and grimhide.
Treants and shadow Manifestations are spawning the little green corruption guys, grimbears, imps (fire nor frost) and stumps are not.
I'm Dragonscale T6 Skinning and the hatchlings and drakelings are not spawning corrupted slimes
Also Treehounds are spawning slimes despite not being skinnable
Idk how other people feel about Simons Daily mining quest, ever since it got patched and you started to lose crystals when you are close to the explosion, it just got frustrating to me, sometimes it will flash super fast but still "stay up" for a long time, sometimes it will explode instantly when it starts flashing super fast, and how long the cast is(while ur rooted) also being random, there is just too much randomness to it which just makes it frustrating, especially when ur at Tier 8 ore and you only get like 6 ore nodes total that arent super far away or in the wildlands (assuming they are all up), to not risk it you would have to take like only 4 crystals ever to be safe per node that procs a crystal
I am aware that upgrades from Simon would easily help all this, but it still is just a frustrating mechanic instead of a "skill based" one
Randomly got a timer indicating a synthesis of 999 of the false corrupted leather. Upon expiry, I recieved 999 of the material
This occurred after I started a synthesis of 15 false scraps with insufficient materials and selected the option to make as many materials as possible. Upon expiry of the synthesis buff, I did not recieve materials
Also I farmed over 1000 Pustules. Upon turning in the quest, it removed the 999 stack of pustules and left the remainder in my quest inventory
Also upon turning in the false corrupted leather, it removed the 60 needed for the quest and the remainder was not turned in for extra credit and remains in my inventory
any chance we can pick up these tasks on the taskboard after they are unlocked?
when you pick up other gathering task secondarys like the combustion stones, you no longer can gather the pustules until you relog
only bugs on crystals
All the items being white sheets in inventory is a little difficult to navigate. Also, would love to see the 4th leather types added like tundrahide, turtle, crocodile, gimbear
Cant do extra credit
This is being fixed currently
All these other things⦠if only they showed up when I was testing it š Iāll be working on it
Heard. Iāll try to lessen some of the randomness
what does it say?
It was an idea I threw around before, but the coding logic is entirely different between them
As for some monsters that don't drop the parasites: Currently, we have it so only monsters whose level is in the same tier as yours drop the parasites. This will be adjusted based on outlying monsters that drop the scraps you're after, but are not in your same tier.
is this the starting 15 scraps from the intro quest?
He says thank you for extra, you will receive extra xp, but then he takes no extras
ye okay, it just almost takes longer to run to the 4 locations twice, than doing the actual task
yeah that makes sense
did you check the extra credit tab to see?
ill check now
hm i think it was because i was using the 999 stack scraps
which has dissappeared now
but it dug into that stack so i had 953, and none of it went to extra credit
ok yeah
idk if the server reset today did anything
I added a fix to the multi scrap thing where both would go away if you had more than one type
there's an internal system of types of scraps
I didn't know it was implemented yet, though
was supposed to go out alongside the other fixes to go in tandem with them lol
well he pushed a fix like 5 hours ago
ohh ok makes sense
I'll try to have another restart soon when I'm wrapped up with the bugs
the funny thing is, in my original calculations when I first made the system, the player would on average get around 4 crystals. I balanced it with that in mind, but then made the numbers a bit more lenient based on feedback. When the crystals didn't drop from an explosion, how much where you getting on average? And when did you reach the threshold of needed crystals to turn in vs ore?
so all tasks are gonna get a upgrade to stack tasks?
All tasks except for herbalism rn have a boon, Boon IV, that allows you +1 stack. you can buy it twice
I would say i probably got around 5-8?
Before the pacing was u got the crystals u needed before the ore and you could get about 50 total crystals when you are done with the ore, now you get about 20 with the 6 available nodes for Leysilver/Drakonium assuming you dont fail at all, sometimes needing to get ores from somewhere else or waiting for respawns
With a bigger dev team, this is the sort of thing we'd be able to track internally if we developed the tools for it-- like we could see actual player averages on speed of task item gain vs normal item, set against their rank level, what boons they have, etc
but for now, it's basically me making it mathemetically sound as I design it, but y'know, in practice things can change
So how ranks are designed, at least on paper, is that ranks 1-3ish, it will take longer to get the task items than the ore. Then by ranks 4-5, it becomes more about overtime
yeah, it can get tricky with low limited high tier ores are
Yeah gotcha, i think the boons are cool, i have no boons personally, and "progressing" to make getting the task done faster is cool, i just havent interacted with that system becuse it was bugged before with not dropping crystals etc.
There just needs to be a exact moment where you are paying attention to the crystal flashing, and being like "Okay i got 3 secs till its about to blow" for example
yep
I just implemented that as one of my upcoming fixes. Won't go into specifics, but it's now a bit more clear in its progression toward explosion, and randomness was reigned in a bit
the boons aren't bugged anymore. I actually reworked how they're done in the back end to make them simpler / less bug prone
is the talent for 50 vouchers stackable?
sorry if its written somewhere on book, im pretty far from any daily npc right now
i mean, guildie got a woodcutting book yday and talent name sounds like it should be stackable around 5 times
Like, Novice - Advanced - ... - Expert - Master
Ah, no. Should clarify that with the same language I did with the boons. Itās not stackable (for now)
@fringe marsh
uhh... also please stop the mining task guy from moving
i tought its saying that i cant buy it cuz im too far away xd
Lol yeah wrong voucher
ah, gotcha, thank you for info
rankup quest 3 couldnt say bye /got stuck on that dialogue unless i walked away
skinning npc started out by saying bye
i did then speak to it and it worked
like it interacted with me when near by saying bye
What about making a transmitter like MH
Extra credit seems to work for me now š
-Fixed various bugs with the skinning task, especially ones occurring after selecting "synthesize max amount" on the CORPAM-3000, and bugs related to multiple stacks of False Corruption Scraps in inventory.
-Combustion Crystal minigame in the mining task is now a bit less randomized and clearer overall.
-Fixed bug where mining boon 4 needed woodcutting vouchers instead of mining ones.
might be some bug fixing logic I put in his convo. Does it keep happening?
what about the crystals disabling the skinning
I couldnāt find anything about that in my testing. Iām thinking it was a byproduct of other bugs
You said it only disabled it until you relogged?
okay will test again when you push fixes
i pick up a crystal
i cant get pastules from corruptions
until i relog
when was this
cause it still happened 6 hours ago
when i did
i pick up all 4 gathering quest, go to tyrants, and after i pick up a crystal from drakonium i can no longer get pastules
sap and seeds works fine, its just the crystal somehow
I'll look into it
not sure didnt try, its the npc that starts the quest for introduction to task, probably a 1 time thing
and it's when you start mining your first crystal, right? Not when you accept the task
and does it keep happening after you relog? Like you mine another crystal, then you cant get corruption parasites
yeah i can repeat many times
relog, crystal, can't get pastules. It's everytime i have tried it
ok I think I found out why

Corrupts doesn't spawn on other maps, so doesn't work if you are skinning doombringers
I'll add it to that map too
awesome
alr ill send both logs?
it did work but it crashed - upon relog its not in quest inventory
boon exists in horvath boons
Lol weird Iāll check it out
Might just be a random server thing
you should be able to do another task now
on tier
@fringe marsh Finished the last rank up quest from Simon, I've waited until tomorrow as he said, when/how do i get to start working on the ladder?
Did he say it was fixed yet?
Nah last thing he said after i finished the final rank up quest was something like "You can soon get acces to the place down the ladder but we have to repair it first, come back tomorrow"
Iām not at my computer but itās a cooldown that should finish up today at some point
Just did the skinning task. Synthesized 60 leather scraps, then to check on the extra credit, synthesized 60 more and then went to turn in. He said I didnt have enough and I have 0 in my pack.
Trying to d othe rank up quest but I do not have a recipe for the Filter that they want me to build
This is gonna sound weird but I think instead of the filter recipe, it gave me Brarlor's stinky shirt. I did have it in my bank before as I kept it after the quest but I could swear I never took it out.
ya fixed the crystals, nice!
When you synthesized more, was it in another stack? Also, when I get back, Iāll add those to your extra credit manually
Very strange, will look at this as soon as Iām back home
Later tonight
Whatās your blacksmithing level?
Whatās your blacksmithing level as well
Unfortunately I did not check my quest storage after the second time i synthesized. But i did synthesize 2 separate times 60 scraps each time. I checked after the first time and did see the first 60 in there. I did it again this morning to complete the task and did 120 all at once and it worked.
I'm lvl 37 blacksmithing
@fringe marsh 38
I'm in the Spirit Widow Cave south of Shrine or Melrenor and trying to get seeds from the Duskthorn here while doing MH and this hole in the roof is going to drive me insane.
@fringe marsh Could you DM the recipe for the filter?
Made the filters successfully, they do not appear as items in your inventory but will still count towards the quest's requirements. It will also say you learned the recipe but the recipe will not appear in the list
Also purchased Boon III for skinning, the text popup is all messed up
It looks like it is warping my screen elements as well
What theeee
Completely quit out and came back in and it resolved, screen elements are back to normal
This Mod III also does not work
I turned in my daily and it didn't turn in my scraps for extra credit nor did it remove them from my inventory like usual
Can i have the schematic for the filter aswell?
Werewolves will use their shadowstrike teleport attack they do on engage when they see a Corruption Parasite, Then they won't do it on the player since they just used it. Not a big deal, but worth thinking about if there are other engage mechanics you may want to prevent these from spawning around those areas.
so the double task pr day makes it repeatable by more than 2
so will test all your rank up quests today !
for which one?
all of them :3
whaaat really
doing my 4th in a row now
haha on which task
š¤Æ
cause it dosn't have the mod
š
also if you ask franc about ranks it will give the dialogue from the wood gathering task
Are the corrupted monster supposed to spawn 100% of the time or is it a proc to spawn from level appropriate mosters?
Level appropriate
Sorry, the question was the spawn chance, is it 100% or random?
100%
Also, bug where you didnāt get the recipe is fixed. For those who still donāt have it and need it, talk to franc red and he will give it to you
Brarlorās quest is also fixed
Also, infinite tasks fixed. x)
Was killing Demon Tyrants and they were not consistenty spawning sorrupted parasites.
crystal explosion no longer removing shards
the growing corruption stops at stage 1
it goes 0 -> 1 -> 0 for some reason
and stage 1 doesn't seem to give more scraps
scraps or pustules?
Sorry, I meant pustules
ok got it
did you have any extra credit scraps?
I found a bug where the pustules wouldn't be taken if you didn't have extra credit scraps
ok good to know
I'm am almost certain I didn't have extra false corruption scraps and only made the 60 required.
ok makes sense
I believe I was trying to save as much real leather for skilling leather working
I'll try and turn in 61 today
Corrupted Parasite are now not dropping any pustules at all
firesworn754 went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Ethyrial: Echoes of Yore VOD now.
The pustules I do have in my inventory are from that Boon III bug where my pustules were not being destroyed but also not turned in for extra credit
Did some further testing, only the Red and Green Demon Tyrants spawn corruption parasites, the Blue and Yellow ones do not
This also appears to be the case with Leshii as well, only green and red spawn parasites, blue and yellow do not. The parasites themselves are not awarding any pustules
Whaaat
Yupppp
Thanks for the vids
Iāll check out that pustule thing
hm, works in my test build, I'll try live
I'm getting pustules
Guildies say they were getting pustules at T6
I'm at T7 and not getting any
What tier you at on test?
well tier shouldn't matter for pustules
just to get the parasites to spawn
I'm looking into it
I've killed Blake Drakes, Soul Reapers, Demon Tyrants, Leshii for parasites and none of them give pustules
do you just have boon 3
Yes
have you tried restarting
I'll try right now
Mmmm sometyhing downloaded like a hotfix or something and now I can't move and no mobs are spawning in
Well, I guess restarting it again worked, just got pustules from black drake parasite
Thanks! lol
ok cool
@fringe marsh ||The Grimoire of Greater Gathering from Mr.Friend tried to give me the Pickaxe Novice talent and it did not disappear when used.|| Didn't want to give away spoilers but I have a problem with a reward.
new fixes live:
-Fixed a bug where CORPAM-3000 mod V didn't trigger
-Fixed a bug where Stage Two Corruption Parasites didn't register as being stored in a monster
-Fixed a bug where CORPAM-3000 mod III wasn't working
-Fixed a bug where Combustion Crystals didn't damage you / remove shards if you were in the blast radius. I understand there is some criticism about this mechanic and I'm working on how to make it more fun in the meantime
-Mining Boon V added
Turned in a Skinning Task and didnt get a reward. Franc accepted the 60 scraps, and the next dialog was him saying I didn't have enough to turn in. I'm back to 0 scraps.
It is, and not a huge deal for me to get it fixed right now. Up to you
I'll have to see first if it's an issue I can even fix in client or not
did you happen to have two stacks of scraps?
Uh, I think I still had the 15 from the initial quest that were still in my quest bag, so that could be it cuz those are gone now
T7, level 34. It was my first turn in.
ok I'll add them to your inventory
Much appreciated!
I also have the same exact issue as Minyo
After turning in a skinning daily, if you talk to him about starting another task, his dialogue turned into the Woodcutting daily's
I was able to accept the WC daily from him
talking to him again fixes the dialogue
that's crazy
yep, will be fixed for next patch
also, simon's task has been buggy for me specifically on live so I haven't been able to do it much there, but when I do his task in my client I just need to click the crystals to get them. Is it true that you need to right click and select an option to gather them on live?
It depends, sometimes there are multiple nodes on the same spot so only a tiny portion of the crystal pokes out. This was less of an issue before the change to the appearance of ore nodes. The larger ore nodes obscure the crystal much more.
When the node spot is completely clear and the crystal is completely visible, sometimes there is a positioning issue and clicking on them doesn't gather. I usually right click and gather them to make sure.
Another issue is if you get a couple of lucky gathers, the toast screen that tells you "1 combustion crystal has been added to your quest inventory" pops up so many times, it obscures the crystal node and you can't gather any crystals without closing the windows, which loses you time
yeah I talked with ryan about that, we are going to make a cooldown on that popup if it hasn't been implemented already
-Herbalism Boon IV added
-Herbalism Boons are now multi-use, and some have been buffed / nerfed / reworked
-Fixed a bug where Grimoire of Greater Gathering gave Pickaxe Novice perk instead of Sickle Novice
-Skinning Rank Up Quest 2 added
skinning quest 2 works fine for me 
i have completed it, but it is not tracked as completed in the quest log
hm, ok
relog?
also, I was experiencing trouble with something that might just have been my version-- did it automatically update the quest stage to go back to Franc Red once you fed the last food?
ye
ok good
Same issue as WxD
Rank Up II for skinning completed and not being marked as completed. I relogged and quit out completely, still same thing
@dry grove seems like an error was thrown with something you did
who was the last gathering person you talked to
ok I found the quest not completing bug, will be fixed next server update, but it's harmless for now
Mr.Friend is only telling me goodbye when I talk to him. In his own way...
yep that's a known bug
somewhy doesnt counts for a Keni mixture quest
guess its typo. Majestic one counts
didn't fix
i dont know if i got the exp reward for the mining rank up quest 2. top right the bar didnt pop and at system rewards doesnt show any exp given. idont remember my exp prior to the quest so maybe you can test it idk
what's your alchemy level
will be fixed next restart, for now it's not going to impact anything
39
it is a visual bug. Fixed
MR. FRIEND may sadly be out of commission currently, but that's because more is coming his way soon
how much did he say you got?
and what's your mining level
he did work for me recently
mine level 29 now. problem is that i dont remember how much exp i had prior to completing the quest...
-Slightly increased rates of Special Seeds dropping
-Skinning Rank Up Quest 2 is now properly completed when it should be
-MR FRIEND! is working again
-Fixed bug where the tier 8 Mixture task for Keni Babule was displaying the incorrect item
ya... yay.. xd
lol
nvm
lol
easyest guy to find... thats who get me to have suspicion xd
-Herbalism Boon V added
In T8 leather scraps for the skinning quest, the quest description states that we can use "Yetihide Scraps". I went and killed yetis which provided "Tundrahide Scraps". The CORPAM-3000 at lvl 3 was allowed to be used on the Tundrahide scraps, consumed the pustules, and gave the standard processing buff but at the end of the buff I didn't receive any false corrupted leather
firesworn754 went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Ethyrial: Echoes of Yore VOD now.
Mining Rank Up III
i suggest to being able to ask again Valerian about new Kornilis name
except i miss something
Lunarions also do not spawn parasites consistently, Grey w/ Green claws and Red w/ Red Claws do not spawn them, Black w/ blue claws does spawn them
@fringe marsh there are huge issues with the skinning quest at lvl 35 Skinning and above at least for me.
- NONE of the T8 leather types mentioned in the quest convert successfully into false corrupted leather scraps including tundrahide (Yetihide scraps listed in the quest is probably not the correct scrap type) Video shows that Vale and Netherscale both are put into the synth process but no false leather is generated. I have tried all 4 types and logged in and out and it still does not work.
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2535232679
- Many mobs that have multiple colors (meaning most mobs that generate the attribute armors) do not generate parasites on death.
Leshii - Only Blue and Yellow generate parasites. Red and Green Do Not This is the reverse of what it was before
Demon Tyrants - Only Blue and Yellow generate parasites. Red and Green Do Not This is the reverse of what it was before
Lunarions - Only Blue ones generate parasites. Red and Green Do Not
oh dang. Thanks for letting me know
About what their new name is so you can find them?
@honest wolf are you by chance level 35 skinning?
I am
awesome, ty so much!
yeah np, it sucks the amount of bugs that have cropped up surrounding these tasks
Yetihide is the internal name. So I didn't see it had a change player-side name š
yeah, if you skip Valerian phrase about new Kornilis name, you cant repeat it again
Noted. Did you find him?
yup :)
Firesworn help me with that
@snow smelt
Skinning tutorial quest bugged. When i was doing the quest, i killed the rabbits downstairs and corruption parasites but to my luck, server restart happened and now quest still says kill corruption parasites and there is no parasites after killing the rabbits anymore.
the skinning npc had holy redemption then it fixed itself
instead of directed research for shop button/dialogue
rat near mr friend speaks only in chat
Directed Research Point missing icon in quest inventory
Desert Serpents also not spawn parasites. They are lvl 33 and were assigned for MH. I'm level 35 and thery should be able to spawn parasites
Corrupted parasites are also not absorbed by innately non hostile monsters (I.e Duskhounds)
Curious, is bonus from Rita stay forever, or till the next Powder Dealing reset?
@bright panther it stays forever
now the worst part is to find that NPC without working NPC search 
thanks a bunch for all the reports! I'll be working on them
Mr.Friend seems to be broken again, only saying goodbye (more or less)
CORPAM-300 Mod III crashed my client when used, but it worked.
If you ask Franc Red about your mods, then click back, he will becomes the lumberjack task and lets you turn in sticky sap, accept new tasks etc for Grate Frame. Actually convenient imo lol
Haha thatās so weird Iāve gotten that report before too
I do want to make the tasks a bit more convenient. What shape that will take will wait to be seen though
-fixed bug where, if in the skinning task tutorial quest you spawn corruption parasites and then the server resets, you cannot continue the quest
@austere tusk
Couple of current bugs I'm facing.
- Second miner rank up quest won't complete. Go through all dialogue but after doesn't complete.
- Friend won't give me new dailies. Sim gave me daily manually, however, seeds don't spawn as result.
yeah it'll be fixed next restart
lol yeah I should be the one handling these quests. Did he give you one that is appropriate for your level?
that might lead to complications down the line so ping me when you're online and I can fix your character
it is for startup
ah
or?
the first quest?
yeah idk if u need to click dialogue or just talk to them
are you on the first quest
yeah lol the dialogue is dependent on your stages
they actually have unique dialogue for every single task up to like task 8
cool
I was planning to make one for every task up to 32, but other stuff got in the way. So it's like what you see now š«£
could also be random evry task, when u get all dialogue somethin happen
or milestones to dialogues
suggestion :)
you get a talent +1% mining speed, similar to Skinning for Trappers talent, cause you learn a path of miner
there is 2 talents for skinning atm
1 drops from mobs and gives +1%
1 for Research Points that gives +3%
would be nice if all gathering skills have both +1% from somewhere and +3% from daily vouchers
@fringe marsh i'm online if you have the time
Iām not at my computer rn but Iāll be on all day tomorrow
word! ill hit you up tomorrow!
Hey @fringe marsh should be around til about 12:30pm CST today.
Hey, I'll be there shortly. Helping someone else atm
kk!
@austere tusk what's your ign?
same name!
@fringe marsh had another one that i didnt think of... these scorpions im killing are not spawning the green guys to kill for postules
yeah that's because you aren't on Irumesa. I may extend it to SI as well.
got it!
@fringe marsh last thing on this front... looked up scorpions on map, and the only spawn showing outside of SI is deadlands.
sorry wildlands
Okay so seeds dropping from friend daily now, horvath rank up still unable to turn in.
i think there is a issue with late rank tasks - they require the same amount of materials
when ur high rank and got decent amount of upgrades, rushing end task for mining, herbalism, woodcut still eats the same amount of materials even if u can get max amount of extra sap, crystals, seeds fast
its not that big of a issue tbh still it seems like a slight issue
that's true
how soon are you getting the required amount of task items before the required amount of base materials?
@fringe marsh just realized... the discipline didn't unlock after completing the fighter pits quest
got it
should i try another class for now or is this a quick fix?
@fringe marsh ive done the first rank up already
xd
does the second rankup exist yet or it doesnt matter that rankups reset somehow
funny first rankup just gets auto completed by another quest
OH
um, it doesnt work
@fringe marsh it doesnt give me a quest
i can infinetly click rank-up quest
So apparently disciplines don't unlock from those, just exp
not yet but it's about to be
yeah that's just a visual bug right now
though you'll see once it's fully implemented, you don't actually get rank up quests from him for rank ups 2-4
wdym?
Got it. So then how do I get the discipline?
Okay so as soon as I hit a mob that was high lvl it gave me the discipline.
@fringe marsh can you fix this horvat quest for me when you get the chance? still cant turn in
I can't fix it on your character, it has to be something fixed on a server reset
ah okay I didn't realize that tyty
Harvested 30 hemp and 30 flax for Mr Friend but 0 special seed showed up while harvesting.
For the Skinning Daily, Mod III to turn in unused pustules for credit does not work. It is removing the pustules at turn in, putting up the screen indicating that we received credit but it does not actually give us any extra credit. Please see the video below
I was at 15.11 leathers from an extra directed research point but after turning in an excess of pustules, my extra credit remains the same.
Any chance there is a way to spawn Combustion Crystals randomly in nearby cell around node you just mined? Like Very Sticky Sap spawns randomly nearby chopped wood node
its just sometimes, when 2 ore nodes inside each other - its pretty hard to target crystal
how it looks like
Yeah I mentioned this before. It was easier with the previous ore model
@fringe marsh hey morgan just checked regarding rank up quest, saw there was a game update, so went to check and still can't turn in
Yeah sadly that conversation with Simon is bugged for an unrelated reason and Iām waiting on Ryan to resolve it before I can get into it
Any chance to abandon so I can do dailies?
Iāll check, yeah itās an annoying issue
if not no worries!
Iām asking the others on the logistics of it, Iāll get back to you when I have info
tyty!
Hey Morgan, I'm reluctant to @ you everytime there is an issue, do you have normal hours that you wouldn't mind being pinged at?
I don't mind you pinging me anytime! If I'm not working I'll just say so. But I'm normally just working during the day central time
I 100% agree and I've been trying to get the ball rolling on removing some of the duped nodes
got it, I'll take a look. I thought I'd fixed this before but evidently not. Ping me when you're available and I'll give you the extra credit
-Fixed bug where first rank up quest for MR. FRIEND! erroneously said it was under development
-Added Solitary Isles as another map where Corruption Parasites can spawn
-Added rank up quests 2-4 (...in an unconventional way, you'll see) for MR. FRIEND!
@honest wolf it's working for me-- can you give me more info on other factors? Like how much extra credit you had before it, etc
Oh I show it in the twitch video
ohh ok
for some reason I missed that
š¤£
watching it rn
ok good to know
are you in game rn?
lol yeah, unfortunately its happened to me multiple days so i knew to record
At work atm , I left Ethyrial running
Its no big deal about the extra credit
if your character is still in I can give it
lol I think I'm afk in warrens of thought, does that matter?
awesome, ty!
hmm I don't see you. Might be bc warrens is instanced
Just to be certain the lower level of the mines is currently available in the game and it requires the last rank to access?
yes
is the rank up determined by the amount of crystals or shifts?
shifts
Ah, looks like I was DC'd at 11:30 AM EST, was there a patch? I had to DL some stuff to boot again
Also, for the Trading daily tasks, are the community points per vendor supposed to be capped at 2?
I wonder š
I'm online Morgan if you could hit me up with extra cred š
I am in Warrens of Thought but I can step out if you want
Awesome, I'm out
It sounds like they are suppsoed to go higher >_<. I've defintiely gotten more than 8 community points previously but lately all I get is 2 pts from each vendor even if I've sold to them 4 -5 times previously
Letās say chances of 3 can rise
Ill double check the logic just in case
Youāve gotten more than 8 previously?
In sum total
Right now I'm getting 2 x 4 for all turn ins so a total of 8 every turn in
But I recall getting 10 - 11 points once
Got it
I've got 2 broekn rank up quests. With Franc, i have the stewed crocodile meat in inventory, he says smells great, go feed the rabbits. But when I rclick on the rabbits, my only choices are inspect, move to and target. No feed option.
On Horvath mining rank up II, i have made and turned in the sickles, made and turned in the (wrong) items to the mine owner. Quest says go talk to Horvath, he asks me what happened, talks about both guys, then says "Don't be a stranger". I've gone back to talk to both people, nothing new, cant trurn in, cant abandon, cant run either of these dailies now.
Please tell me im close
The second is a known bug and Iām waiting on something to be fixed so I can go into that conversation and fix that. Sucks that I canāt really do much about it for now.
Noted on the first one!
Yes š¤Ŗ
@fringe marsh Mod 3 is still broken for the skinning quest. After testing, it converts pustules at the base rate of 26 pustules/ extra false leather scrap instead of the rate that is appropriate to the level of the CORPAM - 3000.
For example, I had 37.03 of extra credit stored and turned in 60 false leather + 908 extra pustules. At my CORPAM level, I need 9 pustules for each leather so I need 18 pustules for each false leather. The 908 extra pustules should yield 50.44 extra credit scraps but the screen and extra credit afterwards will only give me 34.92 extra credits.
The dialogue of Franc indicates that I donated over 50 scraps but the actual credit I get is less than what should be awarded
908/26 = 34.92

Somehow I have lost all my ranks for my gathering quests. I was maxed out on all of them. This happened today. Earlier today i turned in tasks and all was normal, but now I am back to turning in 9 sticky sap and 30 combustion crystals to complete tasks.
Crazy. Luckily this is an easy fix. I think I know what went wrong
my tasks resat on wood gathering
went from 27 task down to 1 and is rank common follower again
ah right minyo has same prop
restart wen xd
ok yeah this is gonna be way more of a headache than I thought
dont interact with the task givers until next server restart, and it might take longer than that to fix this š¤
though I can start fixing it in game for people next restart
i did, what now xd
i just started to make herbalism daily
and its me getting older, or something wrong, but i barely can collect Special Seeds, like 0 or 1 per plant, its just disappears mostly before character even able to run to them
pretty sure there is upgrades for that, but i have no issues with Very Sticky Sap or Combustion Crystals even with zero upgrades
i interact after restart and all my tasks resets to 1 now 
Still?
If you interacted w them before it, it will persist
Iām working on a fix
nope, i wake up, read disc and didnt interact before restart
Got it
Soon Iāll be going in and restoring it for some people, before a general fix that will restore it for everyone (sadly not to exact numbers, but to an estimate num of tasks completed)
If you could let me know what you think your tasks completed was when I go in that would help
i also forget to mention one thing
tasks counts resets to 1 after i complete daily task
luckily i wrote down all task count for my daily
yeah that's what the bug is
dam, can we get another reset bug? 
we just restarted
i mean free vouchers :D
lol
curious, should that trade exp bonus affects trade packs or not?
if it should, then its not working atm
no
@fringe marsh so saw the message regarding dailies... I think the rank up quest is still bugged, or were the two issues separate?
Separate š«©
heard chef
Has the daily count bug been fixed?
Yep
Thx for confirmation, been holding off on doing em
Mr.Friend is back to telling me "goodbye" when I try to talk to him.
Heās gotten too moody
Im having the same issue with Simon not wanting to talk to me, just when I walk away he says bye
well "dont be a stranger"
Franc daily currently bugged. Doesn't interact with me at all. Gate house daily bug, turned in a task (for t7), then next task put me on birch.
when did he last talk to you
Simon was yesterday after my rank up quest and the admin fixing my count
I do not remember what time that was but i did not talk to them again till around an hour or so ago
alright
were any of you able to take on a task after talking with the task giver and getting vouchers?
When I talked to him I was able to get my rank up quest and do it, I did not try a task
Seems different today, doesnt want to talk at all
franc was good yesterday
my woodcutting quest went from primordial and duskwood logs to birch logs after I bought the 50 task voucher talent. I cant get any sticky sap now to complete the quest.
@fringe marsh Franc Red for skinning still appears to be broken
Skshwnahebebebsndnnxxjjc
same issues
Simon Horvath dont want to speak with me :|
MR. FRIEND dont want to speak with me too
Franc Red speaking with me, but when i trying to take a daily, he always answering with: "Safe travels!"
they're all conspiring something
Weirdly, I tried this, and the second time, he gave it to me normally
hm, i tried once, lemme check in a few minutes
tried 6 times in a row, same Safe travels!
ok
is your skinning boon 3 only bought one time?
Yes
So I am stuck with the quests since the day they bugged, and I cannot complete them. No sap or combustion crystals spawn for me and the leather quest will spawn the little creatures when i kill monsters, but I cannot use the CORPAM-3000 to add the Pustules to any leather. It's been fine, but these little creatures are starting to get very annoying. They are picked up by auto targetting nearly 100% of the time. I have wasted many holy wrath charges and chain lightning attacks on annoying little guys instead of the intended monster. Can I please get someone to just remove the quest from me?
I've fixed it, I'm just waiting for a server restart
I see I am getting sticky sap now, but I still cant finish this cursed skinning task. I hate these little green jerks so much rn lol
Yeah, I just received the skinning daily from Franc successfully but he did not give me the CORPAM 3000
⢠mining ā now saying Don't be a stranger! when i trying to take next daily. Also something weird happening with my rank
its Magnificent Miner in main menu and Mini Miner in ranks menu, also task count doesnt show anything.
⢠herbalism ā im able to take a quest, but somewhy with 43 herbalism it does give me a quest to collect hemp. Hemp sadly doesnt generate any seeds.
update: quest saying to collect hemp, but t8 fiber generate seeds
Oh boy
Minyo, your poor soul
I'll make sure something special happens with that amount
I just stopped killing them after 6k pustules lol
can i get some help too?
cant complete mining and skinning tasks for a week or so and im almost done with mining
⢠mining ā doesnt shows any tasks ive done, there is even no number #1400291541146275910 message
⢠skinning ā doesnt give me CORPAM 3000

herbalism and woodcutting works fine for me
is woodcutting fixed in that it doesn't give you the birch task?
yeah, fixed, im getting t8 wood tasks (39 wc) and getting saps from it, everything fine
sorry, i was afk
@abstract dew is it that you don't have the CORPAM-3000?
its Minyo and Firesworn
... me too... these are just from aoe and accidental auto targetting š¢
I have it, but when I use it and click leather scraps, nothing happens
what scrap do you need @abstract dew ?
any t8. I tried them all
today report:
⢠herbalism ā no issues
⢠skinning ā doesn't gave me CORPAM, unable to complete it
⢠woodcutting ā no issues
⢠mining ā dont want to give me a quest and Ranks menu shows wrong rank and doesnt shows amount of tasks i done
I went to Keni Bauble yesterday for the first time in a while and turned in my woodcutting task. I see that my ranks have been reset. I do not know the name of my previous rank, I had done the holy tincture thing a couple of times and the daily task 5 or so times after having done the tincture rank up quest
Also when I picked up the woodcutting task today Keni told me to gather t8 logs, but the task required birch. I was still able to gather sap from t8 logs.
I turned in my task to mr friend as well after not visiting for a while, he now longer has any interaction besides a random string of characters
So for the reset rank, does she still say how many you have completed?
And yeah the others will all be fixed next restart, itās been a while since one though
What do we do if we need the CORPAM? There's no option to abandon the quest or anything
Yeah sadly you just gotta wait for now until the restart happens. Iāll ask for timeframe
Seems like itāll happen tn
She says I have completed 2
I have 34 vouchers if that helps
Doing woodcutting rank up 1: Quest asked to collect Hemp Bandages, but neither NPCs respond when trying to turn the quest in
tried with the hemp, and with the t4 that I can make, no dice
welp
i guess i need some help with Mr. FRIEND second rank-up quest, he is asking to find 5 Journal Entries
i ask a few peoples who already done that rank up quest, and all of them said that i need to bring him that scratches from sewers, if i understand it correct
main problem that i had all of scratches even before first rank-up quest and he take all of them from me
and now im not sure, if its a bug, or am i missing something?
ok so journal entries are different from that first quest
it gave you the hint that you can find them from people who wander irumesa
did you get the five compensation vouchers? I'm asking because that logic should have restored your rank, but if it didn't, or this happened after you got those, we have a new problem
ah, thank you for info
There was a popup when I first talked to her with voucher(s). I remember reading the popup but I donāt remember how many vouchers it was.
Iām not sure if it got reset sometime in the weeks I hadnāt talked to her, or after I finally talked to her again
ok good to know
I hadnāt talked to her for probably 3-4 weeks before this
got it
I think I can fix it for you in just a moment
@keen epoch are you in game rn?
On break at work D: I can get on in like 6 hours
cool, just ping me when
Or tomorrow around this time if itās easier
yeah tomorrow would be best
i found who you talking about :)
they have option about journal entry, but dialogue ends with nothing
hrm
i also notice that between ||Aye, you're the Journal Entry lad!|| and ||Bye!|| new dialogue menu popup for a like 0.1 second and then switching to ||Bye!||
weird
Obviously all my maniacal plan for planned obsolescence. You yearn for the content even more if I introduce it broken. Mwahaha
Will be online for a couple hours if youre free
So I dunno if that reset already happened but I still don't have a CORPAM
Yall will have to bear with me as I review all of morgan's work to try to figure out some of the bugs
im not sure if there was a reset yet
I dont think there has been in a few days
Nah the current bugs are fixed
They just havenāt been updated
To the main server
Yeah not sure whatās going on with the long wait period
how to do that?
Ryan should restart server?
Yeah
Though thereās something being worked on that canāt make that happen yet, I believe
@sweet wharf any chance we can have restart please?
im unable to get vouchers for some dailies for like 10 days or so
Are you on currently?
yeah
you already does yday, but sadly its not working when i clicking on any scratch :|
Ohh ok
I thought that was you lol
Yeah that makes sense, thatās a bug that can only be fixed on the restart
or i will break server with my pustules and it will restarts :D
Haha
I added something to happen if you turn in way more than you should
Maybe youāll hit that
need to fix a few bugs that are on the current dev build first, but hopefully soon
@fringe marsh any updates on the horvat rank up situation?
it's waiting on a server restart
and a bug fix on the editor
then we can insert the fix. We are just blocked by a few things. Stay tuned!
@tender wave @fringe marsh
so, woodcutting talent actually decrease speed
draconic woodcutting axe without talent ā 8 sec to cut tree
draconic woodcutting axe with talent ā 8.2 (or -3% cutting speed) sec to cut tree
what talent are you referencing?
i cant show you cause Talents not scrollable still :D
this one
ah ok I can fix that
I just started the "FRANC RED, MAD SCIENTIST" quest and it is not letting me synthesize anything at all. I use it in my inventory and then click my leather scraps but nothing happens. Is this a known bug? I'm sorry if it's listed somewhere in this thread. I have more than enough corruption pustules and scraps but nothing I do seems to work.
Anyone else having this issue?
I will need to review the code and check if there are any bugs. Could very well be an issue that will be fixed after server restart
Ah ok I believe this will be fixed on restart. Morgan put a cap
does daily maintenance restarts counts?
cause Morgan said he already fix it but need restart, and that was few days ago
#1400291541146275910 message
Yea been having this problem for a while, https://discordapp.com/channels/540514574462615552/1408541109122105436
Has there still not been a restart
I don't think so, I just checked horvat and still bugged.
š
We haven't restarted because there is a nasty bug we are fixing in dev
any chance to get something special for this amount? 
you passed me š±
im just farming stones cause nothing else to do for me 
absolute insanity
might have to make tiers at this point
morgan go back to school!
mining talent also decrease mining speed
draconic pickaxe without talent ā 8 sec to mine node
draconic pickaxe with talent ā 8.2 (or -3% mining speed) sec to mine node
Mr.Friend still saying goodbye when you talk to him after restart.
Clicking Mods when talking to Franc Red ends the conversation.
ill need to investigate these
what stage are you on with mr friend? rank?
I cant remember or talk to him to find out, but it is whatever the current max rank is.
FRiend iirc
Just did the first rank up quest for Franc and upon completion and accepting the quest rewards, the CORPAM disappeared from my quest inventory and I didn't receive the item to upgrade my CORPAM
I also turned in a bunch of extra pustules and didnt get any additional currency
also just responds "Safe Travels" when I try to see what Mods I've purchased from him, and I've purchased at least 2 mods
Also, not getting additional Loyalty Vouchers from turning in extra combustion crystals to Simon

I have a CORPAM now but
- using it on scraps doesn't let me select a number of scraps to process
- It just decreases the amount of tundrahide scraps I have by 1
- There is no scrap processing bar
- It doesn't consume any pustules
- I don't get any False corrupted scrap
skinning daily is still broken for me at least
typo in the book title for the 50 turn in reward
Kenny babule i think
I dont think I've found that guy yet
The woodcutting talent slows you down instead of speeding you up
Task wise, Mining is owrking, Herbalism is working after Ryan fixed Mr Friend for me, Woodcutting is working although todays task she asked for t7 logs even though I'm 40 and sap still spawned from t8 logs. Skinning seems to be working for me, though the first day I picked it up, no pustules were spawning for a while.
i fixed this just now
Herbalism Daily still broken, only shows nonsense good bye dialogue
@tender wave is this fixed for next restart?
Not sure. I think ryan and sim were looking at these gathering tasks
Just to note, I've gotten all the talents from the dailies so I haven't been checking all these tasks as regularly as before. I am occasionally checking to see if the rank up quests are implemented
@tender wave so ryan was able to get me past the 2nd rank up quest, however, i'm now at the point for another rank up, but instead of giving a quest, it just repeats the conversation from the 2nd rank up when you're turning in
I don't think manually ranking up generally fixes the issue
there is some core problem with the logic
Ah okay.
it depends on some properties that were set on the character, i can try to check
You really know how to break shit good Fire.
Ok if thereās a compilation of bugs so far I can poke around and fix things
Well, I was helping Mr friend out. Iād been gathering his journal entries. I was rank 2 and tried to rank up after 5 journal entries but was unable. I later checked again when I had 14 journal entries and I went straight to rank 5. He didnāt take my old candy bag away, and now when I complete the herbalism task he doesnāt refill either with candy.
Ok got it
if I have Franc's Field Work quest active should parasites be spawning on every lunarion kill or is it not a guaranteed chance to spawn?
I believe itās not a guaranteed chance
kk, I only ask because I remember farming Black Drakes when that was my current tier and they spawned parasites 100% of the time
that was a while ago though, so I dont know if that was fixed in a previous/recent patch
Hmm kk
specifically, the black drakes north of Bastion
#1400291541146275910 message
@sweet wharf is this still on the fix list?
yessir, this one is 
The "Sickle Novice" talent for gathering from Mr Friend also slows you down instead of speeding you up
Are Stoneshard Elements supposed to be spawning corruption parasites when I have Franc's quest active?
Doesnt everything?
is it supposed to?
I assumed only the mobs that you would skin for the task would spawn parasites
all variants of leshii, demon tyrants, and lunarions should now properly drop the slimes at appropriate tasks
It is
when you're available for me to fix this in game, lmk
Is this still happening?
I havent done any more skinning tasks recently. Mining and woodcutting havent had any recent problems for me. Herbalism tasks are working, just that rankup bug
Am online now, will be about the same time the next couple of days, but ill be on earlier friday
@fringe marsh I still cannot accept a Mr.Friend task. He says "goodbye" in his own special way every time I talk to him.
ok
@abstract dew also would like to go in game to see what's up when possible
im online afk crafting. you can hop on and check out my char all you like. I can be around in a little less than an hour if you need me present
No need to be present I donāt think. Iāll let you know if so
I was able to accept a task last night, but now he does not respond when I talk to him. He says goodbye as I am walking away though. Its like the dialogue box fails to open when I initiate "talk". I tried typing "Turn in" in chat but it did nothing.
I am seeing the same behavior. Was able to do a task yesterday but appears busted now. Video for reference:
thanks, yeah it's odd
@abstract dew so you accepted the task and weren't able to turn it in?
yes
is the task appropriate to your level
yes. I am 43 herbalism though
For another data point: It's still broken for me. I was probably around level 25~ herbalism in that video. I'm 31 in it now, same behavior.
yeah it's really strange and I'll be working on it, I'm in the thick of exams rn lol
Best of luck, you got this!
This is exaCTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ME TOO
caps 

Can I buy the boon then? 
For like a large amount of materials or whatver.
To make it lore accurate
haha ok
wait that's like super old
sorry I'm just now getting back to seeing this and I think previously I had jumped to that question without seeing the timeline haha
Damn I was like wtf
that's solved by now right
Uhhhh haven't been on in a while, I think so
yeah it sucks I'm going to be getting back to trying to fix this
The quest text for the "Horvath & Sons" is malformed.
Some of the drop toast sometimes show "..." instead. This happened with the loyalty voucher as well as the first combustion crystal mined.
this is bc the client has to fetch the info from the server, so there's a bit of a round-trip time to get it back and sometimes it doesn't update cleanly after the info is received
working on improving this though 
@fathom blade
Just started not working. Been working fine for weeks. Figured it was something new.
