To elaborate on this..she got the form first, went to the temple and the form she got from the trainer originally was useless. And i asked her if she had clicked use prior to entering the temple or buying the forum and she said she had not

after you get one Apprenticeship Form you CANNOT get another. This means you MUST keep, not delete, and not sell your original Apprenticeship form or you will be stuck as an initiate forever. I will probably be creating some really expensive way to fix this in the future, but for now you are just stuck.... so just get one apprenticeship form and use it yourself.

Yes i seen that part, but that doesn't explain why the first form was useless when she went to the temple the first time...she still has the orginal form. She went after the 2nd scepter after the first form came up useless

That I don't know, but I do wonder if something was just flubbed.

How do you know the first form was "useless"?
And was it definitely the first form?

I'm not questioning anyone's truthfulness. I'm just wondering if it was rendered useless by a confused attempt, or if was still useable and discarded when a faulty method made it seem ineffective.

Is your character level 15+ yet?

From as far as i know, it was her first attempt to the temple. She is a level 15 character. And when looking at the form where the name normal is suppose to be it says it is useless...there is no spot to click use. Just sell drop destory.

Since more than a thousand people have used the form without problem over the last three years, I seriously doubt that anything is wrong with it... the error lies with the user. Perhaps you skipped a step or did something at the wrong time. In any case, the original form you had should still work if you finish the steps and do everything correctly. There is no way to make the form "useless"... if you skip a step it just doesn't work, it doesn't neutralize the thing. Get it back out, seek advice from older adventurers, and try try again with your original form.

The explanation to what you are asking is posted in this thread up via the link in Mylor's post, James Silver.

Things don't "disappear" from the bank. People sometimes act like there is actually a piece of paper in an actual bank. Its all just lines in a database. If the piece of programming that does "put thing in bank" and "take thing out of bank" works once, it will work everytime, because it always does the SAME EXACT THING, unlike a human clerk working at a bank. If it is gone its because you accidentally deleted it.

See second post in that thread. I put in a method for people to get a form if they got confused and messed up their Sea Dweller quest.
