Arcanist Job bug?

Nemesis Revised · Post by **Nemesis Revised** » Thu Feb 09, 2006 12:59 am

Okay, i just finished the Sentinel Job in MA. I moved on to Arcanist job. I just finished level 2 (have given the dew to Chartan). I now get my level 3 from Coltrain. Captain Coltrain then tells me to go to Chartan. When I speak to Chartan however, it seems that instead of giving me instructions, he offers me a ticket to a ferry! I think there's a dialogue mismatch here. I never get my instructions from Chartan at all even if i relog my chracter. lol

Anyone else tried this?

The dialogue i get from Chartan goes "Good day madam, how may Buppi serve your needs....etc."

strange, coz my character's male. And i know that Buppi is the ferryman at sunken isle. lol

Chartan lost his personality?

okay, m not sure if this is the server lagging or not. But this time, the dialog chartan gives me is about the halfling subrace - kender. blah blah blah. I'm wondering if the server lag is causing the dialogue mismatches but everytime i click on Chartan, i cant seem to get him to talk right

Lag can cause some odd things. As of this post server has just been reset.

you are right DM Metis, it's just lag! Thanks for the quickened response.

Currently doing level 3 Arcanist Job (collecting cockatrice, gorgon, medusa parts). I noticed that these parts dont drop everytime you kill such mobs. They are random. But once you get one, it goes straight to your inventory. Funny thing today is that i saw a loot from a medusa that dropped the snakehead. Problem is, i couldn't get the medusa snakehead even if i saw it in his inventory. This isnt supposed to happen right? Whenever i try to grab it from the loot, it says, this item cannot be given away. Must be a script glitch?

I'm not getting any of them to go into my inventory. They are in the loot drop from the monsters, but I can't take them. Maybe after the next reset I'll have better luck, though I was playing almost immediately after a reset.

Where you doing the killing yourself, or was it your summon?

i watched this one alot....it went into drops when my summon killed it, when i killed it, when my summon was around, when i had none, when the creature dropped loot, when it didn't....seems a little varied although more often than not if my summon did the killing the item went into a loot drop. maybe we could make them non plot so they could be picked up with no problems. another thing, when i finished the job i had oodles and oodles of this crap left in my inventory. it was never taken out and the extras were left too...a DM had to physically remove it so i wouldn't be encumbered anymore.

Oy - okay. I'll take another look at it and figure out why it's not going in your inv. Tragic how these things work in testing but on a heavy server load seem to exhibit different behaviours...

yeah, with the increased scripting lag and server load all types of wierd things are starting to crop up....good luck trying to figure all this stuff out

In case it's of help:

All of this was shortly after a reset, but with a large number of players (30 or so). Overall, there wasn't much lag:

With no summons: Few items went directly into my inventory.

When a summon made the kill: Extremely rare that an item went into my inventory.

When I made kill with summon: This seems to be the same as having no summons.

I tried the job today and got an item with each kill, regardless of summon or lag. Thanks!

I'm just going to tack this on here because it might be minor:

I finished the Arcanist jobs and the very last thing the mage npc said to me was that I hadn't finished the last job. I didn't want to redo the job, so went straight to city hall to see if I was going to get credit for the last job, which I did. I'm guessing it's just a dialog error, as all the quest entries in my journal updated correctly.

duno if this is a bug or not, but the sherriff tends to move around more than the other job bosses. Because of this he will sometimes walk off and break conversation in that gap between choosing the job menu and actually opening the menu (especially at laggy times).
