Task: Desert Crawl

**trevius** · #1 12-13-2011, 05:16 AM

If you are playing on your own server, you can figure out that issue fairly easily. It could be a typo in the task with a wrong ID, but it could also just be that there are multiple item IDs for the item with that same name. Like in cases of Bone Chips, where there might be 10 different versions of the same item, but only 1 item id might work in a particular task. You could check your task tables and check which item ID is there. If there are multiple of the same item with different IDs, you can always set a goal list for that step and include all item IDs you would want to update the task. Otherwise, if it is just the wrong id, you can correct that easy enough.

If you do find that there is an issue and correct it, you can submit your fix in quest submissions or post about it on the PEQ forums for them to resolve it there (they would be doing it either way).

Doing a search on 13th floor where PEQ gets their items from, it only shows 1 result for that item name and it matches the item you got (13262).

So, most likely, the task just needs to have that one field updated to the correct item id.

This is on my agenda tonight, doing the entire thing via admin. Then I will post what the error is.

Did you definitely loot the Giant Scarab Egg Sack in North Ro (the activity has a constraint that it must be looted in that zone, as you can see in the Task Window in your screenshot) ?

I had a look at the database rows for that task and they look correct.

I looked at the rows too and they looked correct. I had migrated to Oasis because after an hour I had zero drops of those off of Scarabs. The drop rate was higher in Oasis. This has to be what is going on, I probably looted that one in Oasis. It totally makes sense now.

You say that you cannot get these to drop... Well when I was testing this script out on MY server, I noticed that there are TWO North Ro's... One with a short name of nro and the other northro ... You may want to try the other one if you haven't already. It was the only way I could get them to drop for me... I think mine was nro or something... can't recall, this was MONTHS ago.

Well the zones were revamped, not sure if that has anything to do with it. I probably need to fix my zone points since I have upgraded my database.

The zones having been revamped might just factor into it since they have different zone IDs, 'nro' is the pre-revamp zone and if that's the one your server is running then you'll most likely need that id.
