Major changes to profession quest

[Ben]

Some major changes to the profession quest today.

For initiates who have the requisite sceptre item, everything is the same EXCEPT that 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.

For people who have reset their profession, after you reset your profession go talk to Randahl and he will just give you a new profession form. The same rules apply for you afterward, though... if you give that one away or you delete it, Randahl will NOT give you another.

The third and final change is that a profession scroll that is used will not be reuseable... it will become "useless."


THIS WHOLE THING would be REALLY hard to test for just the admins, so we leave it up to you to find any bugs in the system. If you find something that is not working, an error, or an exploit, please post in the bugs forum immediately.

Major changes today to the profession quest. These changes are a) for people who were silly enough to screw up the profession scroll quest and b) to stop an exploit caused by change (a) where it was possible for higher level adventurers to get many many forms and then pass them out.

1) The form now starts out as UNDROPABLE. To make it dropable, the initiate apprentice must "sign" the form before he or she can hand it to a sponsor. This will lock the form in to that one apprentice's character id as well.

2) If you somehow screwed up the Sea Dweller quest, deleted your original form, and the Master will not give you a new form because he says you already did the quest and can't get a new form, this is what you must do:

i) Level up to level 20 as an initiate.
ii) Go back to the Master Trainer as a level 20 initiate and speak with him and follow his directions.

You will then be able to get a profession form.

NOTE: This is a pretty complicated script that I had to change that was originally written by a different programmer, so it is possible that there are bugs. If as an apprentice or sponsor you notice anything going amuck, please report the problem IMMEDIATELY in the bugs forum. People who take advantage of any bug they find will be severely punished. =)

There were no bugs in the old version... this change is to make things less harsh on people who made mistakes in their quests.

Oh, another important note: Apprentice Forms that were quested for BEFORE I made the prior post have NO CHANGES and work like they used to work. Please continue the quest and do it like it used to be done. Only NEW forms have the new rules and steps.
