The Crude Bone Altar fix
The quest from live "The Crude Bone Altar" is broken due to seemingly bad Coordinates for spawngroups that don't appear to be at any accessible location on the zones map. I spent most of a day trying to get a Flesh Bound Tome and Black Powdered Incense so I looked up the items then the mobs that drop them and found the bad coordinates. I'm not sure how to fix the spawn group so chose to make a fix by moving the quest required mobs to a know working spawn table in the correct spawn vicinity. Reading about the quest on EQ Allakazam indicated mobs should spawn amoung the A_Thul_Tae_bloodcaller in 4C. So I fixed this the quest by making the following changes on my database:
database table: spawnentry
Old
spawngroupID npcID chance
5158 48051 33
5158 48010 33
5158 48106 34
8053 48054 50
8053 48084 50
6107 48082 50
6107 48010 50
New
spawngroupID npcID chance
6107 48051 25
5158 48010 50
5158 48106 50
6107 48051 25
8053 48010 100
6107 48051 25
6107 48010 25
database table: lootable_entries
The quest drops and recommended change to lootable entry probability to compensate for reduced mob spawn freqency are:
Item Id Name LootdropID Lootableid prob
18989 Flesh Bound Tome 22115 13376 50
8719 Black Powdered Incense 5709 2982 35
Old
lootable_id lootdrop_id multiplier prob
13376 22115 1 50
2982 5709 1 35
New
lootable_id lootdrop_id multiplier prob
13376 22115 1 66
2982 5709 1 70
With the changes above the quest items drop in the correct area per eqallakazam, I validated the Medallion sequence works as noted below but did not test the Horror Construct turn in:
"The Thulian High Ritualist drops a Crude Bone Altar. This is a 4-slot container with a combine button. You need to combine the following in it:
1. Tear Encrusted Quill -- Brown lizards near the golem in the pyramid area
2. Black Powdered Incense -- Brown lizards in the Avatar Pyramid.
3. Flesh Bound Tome -- Brown lizards in the temple area
4. Black Ooze Filled Phylactery -- Brown lizards in the temple area.
This will create a Phobonomicon of Thul Tae Ew. You can do one of two things with it. The first choice is to turn it in to Aqaar Aluram in Feerott. This will result in the Medallion of Arcane Scientists. The second choice is to give it to the Living Void in Cazic. He will then despawn and a Horror Construct will spawn in his place. It's tough, but drops some good loot. "
It would be nice to fix the quest in the repository.
