Release Epic Laziness v0.4.25

currently stuck on excavator quellin, just standing still waiting like he is going to pop w/o killing the mercenaries in the zone. killed tarn macklin but it never auto looted the cracked dragon bone and progressed to the next part
 
bard and yeah when i turned it off he ran normal

What level is the bard? Does it have the Selo's Sonata AA?

currently stuck on excavator quellin, just standing still waiting like he is going to pop w/o killing the mercenaries in the zone. killed tarn macklin but it never auto looted the cracked dragon bone and progressed to the next part

In this step you kill unnamed excavators to spawn Excavator Quellin, and you kill Quellin to spawn Tarn Macklin, who will drop the cracked dragon bone.

If it killed Tarn and did not loot the bone that is probably an issue on my end. I will take a look at it.

If Tarn is not spawned and it is not killing all the excavator's in the zone then it is likely an issue with your mesh files. Please insure you have the latest meshes via the meshupdater tool.

Also, it is much easier for me to determine what is taking place if you include logs in your postings. Either from the macroquest console, or the console tab in Epic Laziness. A screen shot, or copying the text will both work.

Thank you!
 
yeah he has selo's sonata, sorry not exactly sure how to post the logs. its just chain checking to see if i should be inviz when i have it turned off
 
Alright let's see what we can figure out.

Did you farm a 2nd Smoldering Embers of Solusek to give to Dandi? Or did they not accept the first? Based on text I am assuming they took it from you and that step is completed.

Having the Soulstone of Lanys tells me you completed quite a few of the other steps properly.

So the places I can see a potential issue having taken place:
Reebo Leafsway in Rivervale, sneak behind him and say "What research" to him.
Do you still have the Jack-O-Lantern in inventory by chance? if yes, return to Rivervale and give it to Shakey Scarecrow
Do you still have the Stack of Pages? If yes travel to Steamfont Mountains and give it to Yendar Starpyre.

If I had to guess it was probably the Yendar Starpyre step that failed.


Let me know if any of this helps!
yes i did the scarecrow step and turned in the stack of pages. and farmed a second smoldering ember. so i will go to rivervale and talk to Reebo and see if that helps

hmm ok that did not work talking to the persona in rivervale.. only thing i can guess is that i killed the spawn from the decaying corpse before i spoke to it and got the heart. but idk everything was fine after that step up until final turn in.. im so lost. i wish there was a way to track progress on epics. built into the game so if something goes wrong can find where it happened lol.

I absolutely wish they would update the old epics to the task system. Let me take another look through the quest to see if i can find anything else that could have been missed.

I found this over at allakhazam.

You are missing a critical piece of information necessary to craft the blade.

In the rocky lair of Kaladim, you have coerced the Dwarven rogues into sharing their secret of blade construction: Metallurgy.

In the majestic palace of Shar Vahl, you have coerced the Vah Shir rogues into sharing their secret of blade construction: Blade Form.

In the frigid northern lands of Halas, you have coerced the Barbarian rogues into sharing their secret of blade construction: Grip.

It seems like the message you are getting might be related to this. Do you have any odd tradeskill trash in your invenotry?

Just to clarify what you are asking for. If the items exist in inventory already when it goes to make them? Or it keeping track of what things it had already made?
 
i found this for the TS portion and i went back to all the guiold masters and checked and i have gottem all the correct messages so must be after the TS potion


After handing in your crafted items to the guildmasters hail them again.

You have coerced Rakutah into revealing his secret.
[Thu Nov 09 00:04:54 2017] You say, 'Hail, Master Taruun Rakutah'
[Thu Nov 09 00:04:54 2017] Master Taruun Rakutah gives you a nearly imperceptible nod, his eyes glowing warmly. 'The seasons have treated you well, Jibbre. Though I've nothing left to teach you, it is both a privilege and honor that you grace our hall with your presence. Ah, do not be humble. Very few carry the knowledge you do, and fewer still can match your tremendous skills.' He pauses for a moment, 'There's only one I can think of offhand, and she was a bit of an enigma. The most graceful and lithe Vah Shir I've ever seen - with a beautiful deep black coat...' Rakutah purrs softly and stares off into the distance, lost in thought.

You have coerced Lendel into revealing his secret.
[Thu Nov 09 19:29:03 2017] You say, 'Hail, Lendel Deeppockets'
[Thu Nov 09 19:29:03 2017] Lendel Deeppockets smirks, 'What? Did you want me to buy you a drink? Fine, talk to the barmaid downstairs and ask for the full-price special - guaranteed to wet your whistle or you get no money back.' He laughs and continues, 'You know, Jibbre, so many hopefuls come walking in here looking to prove themselves and so many walk away empty-handed. You've done well for yourself, Jibbre. You are good, there's no doubt about it... but not quite the best. The rogue with the raven locks that came to me for guidance. Now, THAT was talent, unmatched. It would be something to see you face to face with... Oh dear, haha. I almost gave away the name. How careless...'

You have coerced Diggins into revealing his secret.
[Thu Nov 09 03:01:54 2017] You say, 'Hail, Diggins'
[Thu Nov 09 03:01:55 2017] Diggins picks his teeth with an iron nail and absentmindedly wipes it on his shirt, 'Aye, hail to ye Jibbre. Now that ye've been bestowed with our most sacred knowledge I trust ye won't be misusing it. It lies in the hands of only a privileged few. Yerself, a few other individuals,... and that prodigy with the hair as dark as spun coal, and eyes like burnin' fire. Now I tell ye, that's a rogue that'll go far.' He chuckles, 'Pardon me for ramblin', Jibbre. I'll stop before ye get to feelin' inferior, heh.'
You have coerced Elyn into revealing her secret.
[Thu Nov 09 20:20:11 2017] You say, 'Hail, Elyn Connoy'
[Thu Nov 09 20:20:12 2017] Elyn Connoy spins her blades deftly and sheathes them at her sides, then withdraws another pair from her belt. 'Come to tangle with Elyn, have you, Jibbre? Hah. No, I think you know better. I've slit the throats of more deadly man and beast than you without breaking a sweat. Nary a soul in the lands can face me and live to talk about it. Leastways, in a fair fight.' She fumes, 'Someday soon, I'll have my rematch against that dark-haired deadbeat. Only reason the girl won is she nicked me blades before pickin' a fight. All twenty-seven of them... and without me knowin'.' Elyn angrily clenches her weapons until her knuckles turn white.

You have coerced Arly into revealing his secret.
[Wed Nov 08 23:57:21 2017] You say, 'Hail, Arly Golyeck'
[Wed Nov 08 23:57:21 2017] Arly Golyeck says, 'Top of the morning to you, Jibbre! Of course, I've no idea if it's actually morning. We've all but given up on the concept of day and night, eking out our existence in this forsaken cavern. Living like a rat in a hole does have its advantages for those of us that make use of the shadows and want to stay well out of sight. Sure, it's miserable and dank and secluded and depressing and lonely. Err... on the topic of lonely... Ah, I can trust you, can't I? Been meaning to get this off my chest for some time, but had no one to confide in. I've seen my death and my salvation, Jibbre, in the guise of a human vixen. She slipped in my tent while I was asleep, sneaking past my most sharp-eyed guards. I awoke with a shiv at my throat, held by the most beautiful raven-tressed beauty I have ever laid eyes upon. I offered her the same secret that I bestowed upon you, but it was a different exchange. I traded her the secret of infinite poison... for a kiss... and it was worth it, Jibbre.'
Also the same dark haired female you are racing against is also mentioned in the book given by Snokin in Abysmal Sea. The title of the book is Makin Nice Stuff.



also found this ... gonna try it



According to the writeup:

Kill the Bards: Seana and Stefan Marsingers

Seana Marsinger and Stefan Marsinger are located at -1900, -500 in the Greater Faydark. For whatever reason, you need to give them each a notice (this is possibly buggy).

I only gave the Cease and Desist notice to Seana Marsinger, but they both had the signed agreement on their corpse.
 
ok i found where the issue was finally.. between step 711 and step 754, something to do with the letters of cease and desist, i just re did all of these steps and when i got back to talk to the paladin then hailed Smith Dandi i was seeing the correct text so i handed in the orb and got my epic 1.5.
 
I am going to need more information on this one. At the time of the combine it had the 2 bleak fungus and the twine-wrapped lustrous seaweed?
Did it fail to put both bleak fungus into the container? (This is a known bug that I am going to be correcting tonight)
Did it actually fail the combine and lose items? I double checked and this should be a no fail combine.

Thanks!
I wasnt at my desk when this happened, but when i retured i no longer had the twine-wrapped lustrous seaweed.
 
Hi Lisie,

First off, this Lua is amazing.

I did want to let you know, during the beastlord epic 1.5; step ~175, killing the Girplan Spiritleech, there are a lot of "a girplan spiritminion" that surround him. He isn't damagable until they are all dead. I noticed on my level 90 beastlord, it was hanging up some at this point because it kept trying to target the Girplan Spiritleech, and I couldn't switch to the adds until I paused the Lua. Once I paused it briefly and killed the adds, it picked back up when I unpaused it and did fine; just wanted to let you know!

Thanks!
 
Just to clarify what you are asking for. If the items exist in inventory already when it goes to make them? Or it keeping track of what things it had already made?
hmm good question i was thinking the the former but the latter would be useful also. to keep track of items made
 
Sometimes i find my character ducked trying to gate. I am not sure what caused the character to duck though.
 
Shm epic 2.0 step 4 when attempting to navigate to Fungus Grove, he takes the south path in echo caverns which does not have access to FG.

Eche Caverns 1 is the correct zone line to use
 
Shaman epic 2.0 step 23. I killed the Darkened Chanting Woodspirit and the wood spirit adds, but the Lua didnt progress passed step 24, so i never looted the Piece of Moaning Timber
 
For Bard 1.5, on the steps where it takes you to kill the dire animals and the dragons that spawn, when I get into the zone and navigate to the dire animal, the Lua unequips my weapons and crashes. Happened on Karana and Stonefront so far.
 
Shaman epic 2.0 step 56. i killed the Lightning warrior spiritsapper but it didnt automatically loot the glowing trace of might
 
shaman epic 1.5 step 175. Zones into dranik scar and stops.

I will take a look at this.

hmm good question i was thinking the the former but the latter would be useful also. to keep track of items made

I will give this a little bit of thought and decide how i might want to implement.

Sometimes i find my character ducked trying to gate. I am not sure what caused the character to duck though.

That is rather odd. There is nothing in EL that should be causing you to duck. But I will look to see if maybe something is happening anyways.

Shaman epic 2.0 step 23. I killed the Darkened Chanting Woodspirit and the wood spirit adds, but the lua didnt progress passed step 24, so i never looted the Piece of Moaning Timber

Shaman epic 2.0 step 56. i killed the Lightning warrior spiritsapper but it didnt automatically loot the glowing trace of might

These 2 are likely the same issue as one another. I have an idea I am going to attempt to implement tonight.
 
shaman epic 1.5 step 175. Zones into dranik scar and stops.

At this step it should zone into Dranik's Scar and wait for three named spawns, or their PHs. It does not kill much else. If these spawns are already dead it will wait until one of these three locations in the zone has spawned and then navigate to it and kill it.

Is it possible it was just waiting for the spawns?

Shaman epic 2.0 step 42. i zoned into noble's causeway and nothing happened.

I am not sure what would have caused this. The only thing I can think that might have is Kupiop Ikuk not being spawned, but iirc he does not despawn during/after this step.

If you could provide any logging messages of what was taking place at this time.

You may either select the text in the mq console window, or the console tab of Epic Laziness and ctrl-C to copy, and then paste it into your reply here. Or you can take a screenshot and clip it in paint to only show the necessary information. Or you can clip it with windows itself. Press windows key + shift + s to bring up the snipping tool and select the area of the screen you want to capture.

Thank you.
 
I have posted a small write up on how to report bugs in the most helpful way possible. Please take a look at it. Thank you.

 
Bard epic 1.5 - zones into North Karana to kill the dire griffon then immediately crashes. Immediate crash for 4 separate reload attempts

Working great on Cleric 1.5, however Step 70 something is going wrong, as once it kills Plavo, it doesn't actually hit the chest to open it or loot the Aegis of Chaotic Worship.

For whatever reason it just gated without it (thankfully I happened to be watching at that moment). Not sure if there is a way for it to do a check for that item in the inventory before it triggers the travel routine again. (in this case the log indicates it was searching for the Dark Disciple Master") After that it changed step and gated.

Still, I am incredibly impressed with how amazing this works, I will continue the 1.5 and report anything back. Thanks again for all your hard work!!

I've added another check but I am not sure it will be a 100% fix for this. I will attempt to do some testing myself. Thanks!
