<< heh.. muljin sap is not bad to find.. trying having to find bloodwood sticks... .that's all I get asked for... and my measly 195 in foraging and 397 in perception doesn't quite cut it.

Plus I think you need Yavash to be up for bloodwood.

it must not be only weapons. fara tried to give me a kill boss task involving celepeze.

um.... my highest wewapon is only 306. i have no reason to commit suicide. Although I CAN possibly kill 1 of them on a lucky day,....

Vaydra,

Since I didn't see anyone reply to your question, try INVFIX for items that are worn but you can't remove.

The stuck items happen with which type of task? Any specific tasks or all of them?

Thanks.

retrieval... namely it's been the task that required me to kill critters to get the item.

I fixed the tasks that were leaving items on your body earlier this morning. If they are still being left, please let me know.

Otherwise, you can assist to have the items corrected.

Would it be possible in the future to implement something like group tasks, where if you're in a group when you ask someone for a task they will give the whole group a larger task? This would be really fun for boss battles and "find x" tasks where you can collaborate your resources together with other players.

<<Do you think it would be possible to have kill tasks localized so that task givers will assign kill tasks based on the monster that closest matches your fighting level in the province they are located in?>>

I really don't think this is a huge issue, simply because you don't have to accept any task you think is too difficult. I do wish the further travel task rewarded a bit better.

1. I looove the whole concept of the task system. It is fantastic!

2. I especially love that it gets you to travel and explore. In fact, I wish there was a downside to refusing a task so people have more incentive to take the first one offered rather than just scrolling through until they get one they know/like.

3. The rewards right now are not appropriate for my level so for the time being I won't be doing any tasks other than just for a little change of pace from time to time. I certainly think the harder the difficulty in skill, in number of kills/items, the distance in travel... the greater the reward should be. I imagine that is all planned for the future.

4. A small issue I found with atik'et, and potentially all tiered creatures: When I was getting a boss task from Anthelorm he gave me skill-appropriate options of celpeze, trekhalos, hunters, something on Hara'jaal (I forget), and 1st tier atik*'*ets. The atik'ets are way below my level, but were also the only choice on the mainland so I took it. He MAY have meant to give me 3rd tier atik'ets, which are still below my level but much, much closer than 1st tiers.

5. I think the kill/boss tasks should be for creatures that are slightly stronger than our combat skills would indicate because, a) You're going to complete a task, not just to hunt, and b) Most people have abilities that can boost them up or take down targets much higher than just their base combat skills. I've been saying for probably the past 2 years now I could probably kill just about anything in the game if I put my mind to it, but there are lots of creatures I couldn't even remotely "hunt" for training. Oh, and c) if it is just too tough you could get a friend to help or someone to hire (I wouldn't mind working as a mercenary!).

I found in plat that I would get a task to deliver to the trader guild leader but I was not allowed up the stairs to where the guild leader is located. No clue if that is the same in prime since I haven't tried it out in prime. After the one time trying, I just stopped accepting any deliveries for the trader guild.

Dartenian whimpers softly.

Please note that other than a basic adjustment for the delivery tasks, there is currently no additional award for longer distance travel (not that there won't be, but that there currently isn't).

Also, the money is not currently at its final level. It was more to have a general idea to make sure that the awarding mechanics are working correctly. This is still definitely a "beta" release. While some tasks are pretty much done (delivery, e.g.), others are still definitely in progress (kill critters, foraging, skins/pelts) and there is a major bug in the Kill Boss task that means the bosses are not spawning as powerful as they should be.

I'll be speaking with Bubba, Ssra and Dartenian about a timer. What I'm envisioning wouldn't necessarily be a "so many per hour, then no more", but a timer that would reduce the amount of money you get from each successive completion.

If there is a "Timer" put in place, then could the bounty for the task be given beforehand. Not the actual money but a rough idea if one will give you.

Relating to Boss Tasks.

Every single Boss Task or kill task I get, sends me to Ratah or Aesry. I don't want to take an hour trip to the islands then have to come back if the reward is small. More mainland kill tasks would be excellent.

This makes sense. What about something where you have to do the foraging, skinning, etc after you receive the task?

I haven't done any of the kill boss tasks and was wondering... What happens if someone else walks in and kills your boss?

-Dee

Couple patterns thare are bugging me:

my char is only offered bloodwood Foraging tasks, and i'm in Crossings/Haven.

Only monsters I am asked to kill are either on Aesry (Unyns) or down in Shard (Gargoyales), when there's perfectly good substitutes in Theren/Monastary areas.

Despite the kill quests being minimum 20 min travel, all skinning requests have been.. goblins or eels 90% of the time, then 10% of the time I'm ask to get azumos? i'm not even sure what that is.. and very rare crocs. Surely the options frequency could be either scaled better to combat level or made even.

Waaaay too many delivery quests.

EVERYONE wants to deliver to the beggar, in crossings, regardless of who you ask. Why the heck is he so popular!?

I was able to tackle a GM with more foraging knowledge than myself, and I will be expanding that task in the next few days.

Right now, the foraging task only has four forageable choices. Hence why everyone over a certain amount of foraging gets...bloodwood sticks. All the time.

I haven't had a chance to fix bosses, but the bug is a bit complicated...

The critter is actually generating with higher stats/skills, but no inventory. Oops.

Luckily we're not using Rock Trolls as a critter :)

>>can anyone remember Claw Trolls? ::chortles:: Man do I have memories of running from wood trolls that when we lobbed off their arms back in 96, it would cause the big guys to come runnin to our rescue...::laughs::...yeah..umm..I've been playin DR to long I think...11 years...wow..heh...umm...nothing to see here!

::LOL!:: I never met a claw troll of the wooden variety, but I remember the rocky ones! In fact, one of them accounted for my first death. Needless to say, I loved scaring the britches off of them later. And fresh troll leg- Yum yum!

Yep Yep...

You MUST kneel and search if your are doing the searching item retrieval tasks. Otherwise you are stuck doing normal searches.
And there is not a different message in your task searches..unless you find the item of course...
