Legate of Mineta Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 89157Z; No, that's not an exploit- what Bullwinkle is referring to is a reporting issue introduced in Patch 7 with the Skill tooltip feature. Bullwinkle; Your Vitality can exceed the Maximum (as has happened in your case), and is a minor bug. Eventually, I think we will close it, but no ETA on that yet. Thanks!

Bullwinkle Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Culiman the Merchant doesn't seem to sell anything. His inventory is empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Bullwinkle; This was reported by another Academagian, and his inventory is correctly restored in DLC 2. Originally, there was a set of Prerequisites that you needed to fill for him- we may change that into an Adventure, but for now...DLC 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwinkle Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 This may be the same issue as mentioned above for School Conquest, but the ability Ink Devotee adds 2 to Calligraphy, not 1 as stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullwinkle Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Is there a particular prerequisite for Chauranglaith Path: Cave? I supposedly had access to it early on, but it didn't appear in my Ability list until I'd reached Leadership 10 (at which point its SS penalty to Leadership has no effect).

Legate of Mineta Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Bullwinkle; There is- you need the 'password' to enter, which is given as a benefit in a certain Skill. Much like the Venalicium Library, we are considering transforming this series of Locations into an Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwinkle Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 In Katja's questline, the adventure Hunting for Shoes doesn't appear to lead anywhere. I successfully completed it, but then couldn't see any option in the next day's adventure list to continue it. Am I missing a prerequisite? In Vettor's questline, I failed a roll for the adventure Mystery Package. (On a side note, the rolls needed seemed high for this stage; I had 10 in two of the skills needed but everything was still purple.) However, failing moved me to the next step, which appeared as a gap in the adventure list (i.e. no name for the adventure). You could still select it, though. In Everwine's questline, if you succeed at the final adventure, there's one more adventure in the line where all you do is speak to Everwine. That adventure also has no name; it appears in the list as a gap. Same thing for Durand's, after you pluck the feather from the eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Bullwinkle; For the blanks, that appears to be related to missing Titles- we'll look into it. For Katja, the next stage has two key Prerequisites: the first is, you need to have a pair of iron shoes in your Knapsack. The second is that your Relationship with Katja must be 4 or better. Let me know if both are true- at least in the content it appears to work correctly. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwinkle Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hmm. I never got the iron shoes. Unfortunately, my save of that time is long gone, but I remember the result of the adventure where we stole them from the goblins. We were praised, saying something like 'they were no match for the brilliant two of you'. But it appears the shoes were never placed in my inventory.

Bullwinkle Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Regarding Question Knowledge: I'm not entirely certain how the 5-step penalty works. Sometimes it says it decreases a SS, where it sets the step to 0 if there are less than 5 steps (which is, I believe, what is supposed to happen). Sometimes it says it decreases a Skill, not a Subskill (I just had it declare it had reduced the War skill, with no effect). And sometimes it says nothing at all regarding penalties, i.e. there is no decrease of any kind. On that note, the penalty for QK is really not significant. Most of the time, it's attempting to decrease a SS with 0 or 1 steps, so there's no real disadvantage. (It's rare to have a SS with more than 5 steps that you're actually advancing.) It seems a bit unbalanced, overall; there's very little reason not to choose it over other alternatives, unless you only need a single step.

Legate of Mineta Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Bullwinkle; It is 5 Skill Steps that are reduced, but it actually should be 1 Skill Level that is reduced. It looks like the conversions were off when this was created. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that reminds me, in my last playthough, some abilities that give random skills (I think Library of Longshade and maybe Tour the Tapestry Room) actually gave me research bumps instead of skills. I'm not sure if that is intended or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 ackron; Assuming you are using 1.0.8, that should not occur anymore. If you are, please let me know- closing that issue has been more difficult than we guessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andor Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I have started a godina Student and rather annoyingly when I use Practice room #4 it only increases his harpsichord skill. A 50% chance to increase a skill by one step? Not a good use of my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well looking at my final save for my 1.0.8 playthough, I have 4 points of research done, and I never used the research action, so I'm pretty sure it's still happening. I don't remember exactly when it happened during the playthough though, I'll try and keep an eye out for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I know to have goten Research from the Random SS of Library of Longshade with patch 7b (and reported it) and I think I haved it again with the same game after update to 8+ Hotfix.

Burnheart Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I have a few levels of research with my current character without actually using the research action and this is with a character started on patch 8. edit: I have just had an Aranaz student use defame on Aranaz, not sure why but definitly a bug.

Legate of Mineta Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Burnheart; Actually, that one is not a bug, but a limitation in the engine. If possible, we are going to try to close it, however- it's been reported by other Academagians. For Research, we'll look at this again, starting with the Library of Longshade. Thanks to everyone!

Schwarzbart Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Just now I got the Composure Research Topic + 1 from the 4. Slot of Emperor Sphinx's Room (Game start 7b now Patch 8+Hotfix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Schwarzbart; There definitely appears to be an issue here- thanks for the confirmation. I don't think we'll be able to close this in Patch 9, but hopefully Patch 10 or 11. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardrake Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I created a new game on patch 8, but then when I started and successfully finishes the bond training of my familiar, some of it didnt make it to the stat, I.e., "successfully increase the bond of stars by 1" but when I visit my familiar's page, it didnt go up! A bug perhaps?!? edit: especially when using the "Train at the Locraitian garden" ability! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 wardrake; This is a known issue: Familiar Skills do not use the correct basis for calculation- they show the Skill Steps that you need, but not what the Familiar needs. If you continue to Train, you will see your Familiar's Skills go up. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
