Velious Bugs/Needed fixes thread!

Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl quest can't be completed.
For Coldain Shawl #8 Quest:
Meg Tucter is not giving Etching Tools required to make the armor for the Issue Kit.
It is possible to get the empty issue kit from Loremaster Solstrin, but not the Etching Tools from Meg Tucter.
It is possible that the Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl quest is not in the game for Velious on the Time Locked Servers but why halt the quest halfway through and not right at the start of the quest.
This needs to be fixed so the quest can be completed.

Last I'd heard it was intentional, unfortunately - I disagree with having a quest intended to complete a Velious line being removed from Velious personally.

(It would be like removing the Chardok revamp including the Ring/SWC line - those weren't even added close to Kunark -- or RunnyEye revamp)

This is how it was on Fippy/Vulak.

You can pretty much collect everything you need for the quest in Velious, then finish off the quest in Luclin.

Now, I'd agree the logic doesn't make all that much sense given other out of era things they've left in, but I'm also pretty sure it's pretty far down the list things to fix given everything else going on.

Wanted to note that Blumblum Swigwater was in game yesterday March 30th. Fingers crossed that of some quad kiting otter hater kills him he respawns this time and doesnt need to be manually popped!

Now how about the Puretone and Deftdance vendors - pretty please!

This has been fixed internally and should go out with this month's update.

We've removed the player cap for any load balancing Velious zone that has a raid in it and this change will go out with the April update.

It's a little tricky to add AE damage to an NPC since they can't use focus effects, but we think we have a mechanic in place that will increase a boss's spell-based direct damage by a percentage to the same degree that their melee damage was increased by.

We couldn't agree more. In-combat HP regen has been reduced dramatically on all buffed bosses. In addition, damage mitigation and AC has been reduced on Velious bosses.
These changes will go out with the April update.

Dear Ragefire Guilds,

Thank you for beta testing Velious content. Your pain, suffering, blood and tears are making the world of Lockjaw a better place. You contributions are appreciated.

Sincerely,

Lockjaw Guilds Everwhere

This has been fixed internally and will go out with the April update. Hoping Derakor's identical twin brother has enjoyed his stay in Skyshrine.

Any word on Sleepers Tomb mobs dropping no loot Prathun?

Are the Velious era things that are missing being added in the April update as well?

Chloroblast/Nature's Touch, Bard Disciplines (Puretone, etc.), Nortlav the Scalekeeper in the Hole, and PoG armor drops from Hate T2 mobs are the things that immediately come to mind.

Thank you so much! These servers are a bit rough on the rare untwinked solo player, but now i can explore places like Dalnir without constant fear of death!

Looks like the NPCs in Sleeper's Tomb are dropping items. Do you have an example?

Believe he is talking about the Master of the Guard only dropping 2 spells when they killed him...

I actually remember this to be accurate, him dropping priceless was rare and primal/AP weapons were super rare off him. about 75% of the time he just dropped spells.

That sounds right. Getting 2 spells is about the average of what you can expect to get from Master of the Guard.

Deftdance and Puretone disciplines still need to be added to vendors.

Please include this in the April release. Source: Link

Looks like you are right. Checked the changelogs for Master of the Guard's treasure tables and it doesn't look like they've ever been modified. It's technically possible for MotG to drop nothing, spells are common, non spells are rare, and I believe it's always been this way.

The vendor in Commonlands that sells Velious era hybrid discipline tomes was disabled, presumably because he was replaced by the guys in the EC tunnel that were introduced around PoP that sell tomes, but they don't spawn until PoP. This is not great. We'll see about spawning the guy "Bakrav Uramis" when Velious unlocks and despawning him when PoP unlocks.

Edit: Also, we've manually spawned Bakrav Uramis in Commonlands on the Ragefire server. You can get these disciplines right now. If the zone goes down for any reason he will disappear, and he will not be in any new pickzones. He should be there without requiring any dev intervention after the April update.

3 warders dropped primals and there good items

Chloroblast was introduced a few months after Velious launched. It's much closer to the launch of Velious than to the launch of Luclin, so we'll relax the restriction on the vendors so that it's available in Velious. We are unsure when Nature's Touch was introduced, but since it's next to Chloroblast in the DB sequentially, we assume it was around the same time. Can anyone definitively confirm this?
Edit: Thanks for the info!
Rushka Deklamoor in the Commonlands tunnel and Srendon Gladetender in Greater Faydark will sell these spells.

See my post above!

Nortlav spawns in the revamped version of the Hole, which will become available when LDoN has unlocked on the server.
Also, Nortlav the Scalekeeper is no more and has been replaced by the Echo of Nortlav. Rumor has it he got in a tangle with Yael and lost.
Edit: If there's evidence that Nortlav was available earlier than LDoN, please let us know.

We've verified that the Hate T2 mobs on the Ragefire server are dropping PoG armor. They start dropping the armor automagically when Velious unlocks.

Both spells were added the same day.
