Hasten Bootstrutter - Ate quest items , no reward

[SteveTheDreamer]

Edit: QUEST ISSUE -- Not Spawn Issue

I handed Hasten Bootstrutter a ring of the ancients, a shadowed rapier, and 325 platinum and ate them but he did not give me Jboots Someone was hailing him at the time with the intent of keeping him still for me and im afraid that might of caused him not to register the turn in...and yet he did not give anything back. I even said all of the necessary dialogue while running after him before got him stopped again for turn in.

I dont know of anyone else experiencing this bug.

I really hope someone can check the logs to see I did the turn in and got no reward. I dont even have to go into how annoying and long this quest is and how frustrated I am to fail on turn in and LOOSE the items.

dont you have to turn in the 3250 gold he asks for? not the plat conversion

[SteveTheDreamer]

all the sources i found had said it didnt matter...

-Shadowed Rapiers can be gotten from many zones, no explanation needed there.
-Ancient Cyclopses are rare spawns in South Ro, South Karana, and OOT.
-You must pay him 3250 GP, not 325 PP.

oh shit.. :(

So maybe its also "classic" for the NPCs to NOT hand back items if you screw up the turn in??
....does this mean i will not be entitled to GMs reimbursing me?

Gold man, use gold. Gold is classic.

[Yinaltin]

yeah as said . its a classic server and you have to use gold :/ . better should have asked in ooc ... sorry m8

[Ektar]

you can give him 325 plat on live now? fucking embarrassing. INTEGRITY

[Omnimorph]

same with fire opals in sol ro temple, 550gp. i wasted 55p testing it too.

Funny that they have you chasing after a speedy little gnome whilst obviously being encumbered with a shit load of gold. I left the rapier and the money on a corpse and ran after him dragging it :p

[astarothel]

should have asked in ooc

Except that my friend asked in ooc today, and more than one person said "You can turn in plat" and so like poor Steve, he also got screwed :(

[Ossigor]

I'm in the same boat. I am just patiently waiting for a GM... wouldn't hurt to reimburse my ring at the least.

EDIT:

In classic you could just run him over another 3250 gold and he should give you the boots because the DB would see you have the turn ins already.

Unfortunately the db doesnt work that way here, so I think this should be reimburse-able by GMs. let me know if you have any luck

Situations like this are very rough. While Steve should have asked in OOC, Ossigor did and apparently received information from three seperate people informing him that platinum was acceptable. This turn-in is tricky since on live you could use platinum and gold. Many things on server are not necessarily 100% classic so it wouldn't be beyond belief to think platinum would be acceptable as well on Project 1999. Adding into that fact that three seperate people in ooc either mis-informed maliciously or just ignorantly on their own part thinking platinum is acceptable.

I don't think it would be that horrible to re-imburse Steve and Ossigor their Rings of the Ancients for what appears to be merely innocent mistakes given the complete circumstances. That being said, I am a lowly player and obviously this is left to the developer/GM discretion.

Its a player error not game error so not really reimburable. A GM could proove me wrong on this but I doubt it.

I hate to say it, but did you even speak to Hasten? He specifically asks for gold. This is not a bug.
