Why is the Spinesreach scarf tricolour?

Other than that, spotted a few typos which I submitted, but it all seems to have gone smoothly otherwise.

because we all know you Spinesreach people LOVE Harry Potter!!

Trick question: The answer is, whoever wrote it forgot that we are GLORIOUS RED COMMUNIST SPINESREACH now. Probs better change the oldtricolour scarf, is what I'm saying.

You can have a tri-color scarf in Spinesreach, comrade. So long as those tri colors are red, red and red.

Helping a Scout out for some novice requirements...go to observe her tattoos....

On Penelea you see:

Body:        Boar

Body:        Moon

Body:        Tree         Uses left: 50

Body:        Shield       Uses left: 50

Body:        Moss

Body:        Mindseye     Uses left: 74

Head:        None

Torso:       None

Left arm:    None

Right arm:   None

Left leg:    None

Right leg:   None

Seems the Academy still has the bug in Duiran where it inks a ton of tattoos in one location.

Piper

To follow up with what Aarb said..

You have the following tattoos:

Body:        Boar

Body:        Shield       Uses left: 50

Body:        Mindseye     Uses left: 75

Head:        Moss

Torso:       None

Left arm:    Moon

Right arm:   Tree         Uses left: 13

Left leg:    Cloak        Uses left: 32

Right leg:   Bell         Uses left: 42

Garsh totally wanted to get his hands on my body.

I broke my Academy! It told me to emote about wearing a scarf, I did that and it never moved on from that

Anyone know what I should do?

I knew I shouldn't have started this

+ The Basics of Emoting                             COMPLETE
+ A Spiffy Scarf                                    ONGOING
+ Journey to the Post Office                        INCOMPLETE
+ Returning to Smurg                                INCOMPLETE

Check what the quest is supposed to have you do.

Also, it didn't give me any tattoos at all, when I did it, but it said I'd passed that bit anyway.

I noticed this after doing the Spinesreach one recently:

You read what is written on a pristine diploma from the Academy of Spinesreach:
                      THE ACADEMY OF ENORIAN
   The Enorian Academy upon the recommendation of its teachers admits

                          ALT NAME HERE


      is hereby certified as a graduate of the Academy, having duly
             completed the prescribed course of study.




Signed and sealed by,
Sir Ta'lionu, of the Academy of Enorian.

Pretty much sums up Spines' population. Seems legit.

For Templar - the longsword from the Kaliy quest has no stats (it should be a 140 damage, 75ish penetration, 130 speed one).

For Merkava's training quest, it doesn't actually have you wield the weapon/shield, which it probably should, or review WIELDing and UNWIELDing or WEARing shields

Vermin quest - should probably just have them SELL VERMIN TO (person) up front, rather than GIVEing it to the vermin catcher and then having to correct them with the proper syntax. 

Moirean

Oh derp, I totally just realized that "ALT NAME HERE" was you not showing your alt's name, and not Spinesreach's diploma just defaulting to a generic form-field for RP alts.

Anyone know what I should do as mine wont 'continue' some admin came and moved me around a hour after I posted this ^ .. but I've not heard nothing since and its not even working yet...

Moirean

Looks like we're going to have to deport you.

Iosyne

Yeahhh... the only way to really fix people randomly abandoning quests is to add a way to individually reset each Task and start over. It's on the "to be coded" list, just be patient for now.

I didn't abandon.. I Qqd as it wasnt moving on as It wouldnt take the emote I was doing... How do you abandon it?

Missari

You qq before finishing. 

Azton

I spent 20 mins trying to wear a scarf which it wouldn't let me wear, I even emoted trying to wear it etc. and I got nothing :P so i QQ..

Notes:

 Managed to make one of Grenna's quests restart by greeting her after I completed it but seemingly before the next fired.

 Luminaries says we meditate on the Crescent - should say Great Spark. Daru have the Crescent.

 Kaliy refers to selling snakes in the hollow to Nysos. Should be Timothy (the HINT, however, is accurate)

 Since you're making people learn to probe the flame, probably should code in that the flame takes precedence over anything else in the room marked flame, otherwise glowballs\flame sigils cause all kinds of oddities in the Great Spark room.

Before the Bloodloch one comes out, I figure I would mention the Bloodborn's guildhall is actually in the wrong place accoding to path find guild for the Bloodborn. It takes you in from the Chamber of Greyon. where the actual entrance is at the Chamber.

I believe since the revamp of the city itself, that anything that was changed is all messed up because the xml file of the new layout has not been updated.  Once this is done it should fix the issue

Moirean

Is there any way you can do guild tasks if you are in a city not associated with your guild (eg Spinesreach and Indorani)? I know that it doesn't work atm, but could it be considered for an addition? For the shadow side, especially, people DO switch, even new players, partially because of how BL = undeath. Not everyone wants to be undead to play an evil character.
