Sky Quest - Wizard Test of Preparation

[ElanoraBryght]

Bug - Abec refuses to accept the 4 requested items for the Sky quest "Wizard Test of Preparation"

Server logs on this event should begin around 3:12am est
Fri Feb 18 03:12:16 2011 Ibelost says, 'Hail, Wizard Schrock'

Character attempting turn in is Ibelost. (I am not Ibelost - Ibelost is trying to locate his login info for project1999.org and will hopefully update this post shortly.)

Quest : Wizard Test of Preparation

Abec Ianor says 'Always be prepared. Adventure and return an efreeti war staff, some lush nectar, a copper air band, and a large sky sapphire. You shall be rewarded with the Staff of Storms.

Abec refused to accept the items, and returned them to Ibelost.

Ibelost linked the items to show me which ones he was attempting to turn in (image below). Sorry about the cut and paste on the image, chat was going to several different windows.

There are two versions of "large sky sapphire" (which is classic).
Ibelost has now attempted the turn in with both of the large sky sapphire, and is still not able to complete the quest.

It should be the one that looks like a black sapph, no? Did he cast identify on them?

Quest is broken. I was going to fix it when.. I don't know which sapphire to require for the turn-in.

The 'black sapphire' version (eye of the storm) is listed for both the wizard test of preparation as well as enchanter test of incapacitation on allakhazam (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/search.html?q=large+sky+sapphire). I assume that each one should be for a different quest though?

I'm willing to fix it either way. I'd prefer to know for sure which one to use.

Any evidence for this?

Show's eye of the storm

Was unable to cast identify on either eye. The one that appears as eye of storm in earlier post was the first one I tried. You saw result in the first post. Oh, btw I guess this is a bug on identify too. As it would not work on either saphire.

Both the wizard and enchanter quests show that they require the eye of the storm version. Usually on allakhazam or elsewhere when this happens, it means only one was recorded as used. I still believe one should be for each quest, instead of one of them for two.

This worked fine for me. With the item on your cursor, cast identify.

I did this quest on my enchanter, and it worked fine. I think I used the one that looked like a sapphire (there was a second gem for the turn-in that looked like a black sapphire), but I don't remember for sure.

Would the turn-in for my character (Roran, on February 13) be saved on a log somewhere? Maybe a GM can pull up the list to figure out which gem worked.

[Alderac]

Sky quests were always a bit buggy even on live, possible this is a situation where the live quests were incorrectly coded to both require the one

[ElanoraBryght]

This is the one that Roran used to complete the enchanter quest.

Fixed, pending update.

Until someone provides more evidence to the contrary.. I am setting up the quest like this:

You tried to hand in what, what, and what, to whom, expecting what?

It worked. I finally got to complete the test of preparation. Got my staff today. BTW it is the eye of storm.
