Shattered Kingdoms

You know the one. That thing is bugged all the way to Hell and back.

Stupid sprite, taking the sage I give him and listing it in his sellable inventory.

I'm only ranting here because I bug logged it, prayed about it, and asked a PAR. And there's no KD for Zhenshi listed to PM, so I figured I'd come here.

Logs available on request, though I'd just as soon keep the spam to a minimum.

Indeed that thing is filled with bugs.

For now kill it and when it repops it will be fine.
Worked for me.

I like it when you give him his money and he just says he has no use for it yet keeps it without giving you the next step.

I can just see the look on my companion's faces when my principled character makes the sprite repop. Maybe I'll just ask someone else to do it while I'm not looking.

Well, same thing was with Sukra in Nerina last night. I bug loged it, that Sukra does not accept the tusk he asks for from the new characters in Nerina .

That quest has been broken ever since frewball put it in. To do the quest you have to make sure you say Every sentance like your suppose to, and give the sage and money to him only after everything has been said.

If you miss one sentance, it won't register and you have to do it all over again.

I know that the sage quest works for fact. You must be precise as Fridge said though. If it isn't working for you you did something wrong.

I've checked more than a few quests from BUG and TYPO entries and I'm always limited by what you report - some of the quests in the game are complex beyond belief, so the more you can give me the better. This particular NPC has been checked and I've watched mortals complete the quest so I know it's not broken.

If you PM me with a log or a specific description of "I did this, and the NPC said nothing" it's a start - but fleshing out what you did previously (I first met the NPC, and it said to gather sage, turnips, relish and parsley) what you held (I got the sage from the 3rd angel on the left, in the holy choir in the unholy church near Kytar) and exactly how you delivered it (I dropped it on the ground and said 'there, now stop whining') - I should be able to work out whether the script is bugged or not.

Some caveats:

1. I don't plan on providing 'answers' to the quests. If you're doing something very wrong, I'll go over the scripts to work out how you could have been so misdirected and perhaps improve some wording, etc. If you're only slightly off ..well, I'll probably say you're getting warmer or something.

2. I also expect in-character solving of quests. Anyone that quotes their previous character's completion of the quest (or worse, a walkthrough provided by someone else) is begging for public humiliation for cheating. I'll happily tweak quests every so often so that you have to solve them in-character by reading and exploring (or whatever the quest requires) rather than just jumping to the last step. Don't expect sympathy from me if your walkthrough instructions are no longer valid - if you find any, I can almost guarantee they're obselete.

All right, PM sent. And no doubt you're still reading it. But it has everything relevant there.

P.S. I'm posting here so that I have a better chance of getting a response.

Got it; appreciate the detail.

Got a few items to fix before I look into it, but it is in my top 5.
