Bug in Waterdeep Sewer Ring Quest

Post by Estrild » Thu Jan 20, 2011 4:59 pm

The muck-coated ring in what is apparently a new quest in the WD sewers disappears after you clean it, but it is not replaced by a clean ring:

An enormous, mutated rat is DEAD!
You spot a small, dirty ring buried in the debris beside an enormous, mutated rat's corpse.
You get a muck-coated ring from the corpse of an enormous, mutated rat.
You are carrying:
a light grey backpack (perfect)
a electrum coin (superb)
2 silver coins (superb)
5 copper coins (superb)
a muck-coated ring (perfect)
>look ring
A plain gold band. It is covered in muck, but could be easily CLEANed.
>clean
You set about cleaning the muck from the ring.
When you are done, you can make out an inscription inside the band.
>look ring
You do not see that here.
You are carrying:
a light grey backpack (perfect)
a electrum coin (superb)
2 silver coins (superb)
5 copper coins (superb)
You put on a glum expression.

Is it a part of my qlog though:
You have found a ring in Waterdeep sewer inscribed with the name 'Gillian'.

Out of interest - were you hidden or in an unlit area when you cleaned the ring? The prog is set to junk the old ring and give you a new one (I could've done it a little more elegantly, it's true!), so I'm wondering if it's the giving part that failed in particular.

I'll do some more strenuous testing after a night's sleep, I think.

This worked for me just this evening. Character was using a light at the time.

I was not hidden and had a light.

Sloppy building on my part, it turns out! It seems a new ring was being loaded prior to the old one being junked - so I'm assuming you ran out of inventory space as a result and couldn't receive the new one when it was offered to you.

I've fixed the order and added a line to drop the ring if all else fails. This bug will be fixed with the next copyover.
