A staff discussion has led to the decision to reduce the number of options for no locate objects.
Generally speaking we'll be reverting to the former position of these being purchased in DS shops as skulls or available as silver medallions. Other uncommon instances may also persist.
It will take some time to go through all the current ways to acquire no locs and remove/adjust. Some quests may also be affected so there could be minor adjustments in that regard.
Primarily this is going to affect gold-inlaid discs. The availability of no loc skulls will also be looked at to ensure it is not over the top of what we believe is appropriate.
Reduction of No Locate Object Availability
Re: Reduction of No Locate Object Availability
A list of some of the changes as a result of this decision:
- Dragonsworn can no longer buy a no loc in their base
- Ko'bal badge is no longer no loc
- Gho'lem Warden quest now does a straight swap for a skull, rather than give out additional no loc discs for the horde
- Bull Headed Kno'mon rewards vials instead of no loc discs for one of his quests
- Dark Eyed Grocers no longer sell no loc discs (Seanchan)
- Legion of the Wall Officers no longer load a no loc disc
- The chest in A Smelly Dugout no longer loads a no loc disc
- Tanchico Jewelry shop no longer loads a no loc disc
- A trolloc quest that yielded a no loc skull for an easy to obtain scalp once per zone pop has been removed
- An Unknown Darkfriend quest had a quest object changed as a result of this adjustment
On the other hand:
- Renegade Blademaster still loads a no loc skull if you care to challenge him for it and your roleplay justifies you carrying around such a grisly token. (If it does not, you may face in character consequences.)
- Silver Medallions are no locate
- Some uniques remain no locate (there was no change here)
- 3 DS grocers continue to sell 1 skull per boot
- 1 DS grocer has a much better supply but having realised his stranglehood on the market has become a shameless profiteer!(In other words, no loc skulls remain for DS to kit out their group for raids or quests but due to how much more gold DS has access to in the modern age it will rightly cost them for this privilege)
All complaints to Aureus. All compliments to me.
