Instant clickies shouldn't use reagents at all.

The underlying issue is the current method of allowing an instant click item to not use reagents.. is to make a new spell id that doesn't use components. Then, changing the clickeffect of the item to the non-component spell.

This is why some of the items function as intended, and some do not. Long long ago I made those changes for the mage ring, waterstone, and mystic cloak.

With that said, spell ids come at a premium. I believe the cap for spellids in spells_new for Titanium is 9999. I'm not totally sure what would happen if we exceeded it, but it would likely involve cthulu. I do not believe we should create a new spellid for each instance of this.

I will confer with the other developers and see if they have another idea.

The following is a list of items with instant clicks where the click effect is a spell which normally requires components. Please review this list and see which, if any, do not belong.

Code:

select i.id, i.name, i.casttime, i.casttime_, i.clickeffect, sn.name,  sn.components1, i2.name 

from items i 

join spells_new sn on (sn.id =  i.clickeffect) 

join items i2 on (i2.id = sn.components1) 

where  i.casttime <= '0' and i.clickeffect > '0' and sn.components1 >=  '0'

1x Akkrius Aego Buffer plz.

Would love you forever.

I want to say the Enlarged Fire Beetle eye should probably always require the silver bar to make a enchanted bar.

These are all GM items or out of era items we won't see. So they won't need to be included in any changes made.

I'm not seeing TOO many spells there.

Enduring Breath is like half of them
Levitate
Shieldskin/Steelskin/Rune III/Rune IV
12 Fire Pet summon
34 Necro pet summon
49 Necro pet summon
Conjure Corpse
Alter Sky Plane

Looks like 11 spells of which 3 are already done (EB, Lev, Steelskin).

If code devs have an idea around this that would be great, if not I don't think the spell file is so loaded it couldn't handle an additional 8 spells.

It's more a matter of principle. This obviously wasn't how it was done on live, or each of these would have duplicates in the spell data.

Fixed, pending update

Crypt Master's Conjuring Stone was not included -> http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/i...04913268460797

so no recharging on Red non classic fix to non existent issue but regeants being removed on blue clickies? am I understanding this correctly?

Nilbog, I believe you should include the Conjuring Stone also. The link you provided is a 2003 quote. On the same page, October 2001 (right after Chardok revamp and this started dropping):

You don't need to coffin. I just used one on my best friend when he fell off the boat and drown in the middle of nowhere without the corpse loc.

Good Luck, and Safe Hunting!

I think within our timeline (October-December 2001) it is unlikely they changed this to require a reagent.

Good fix for the rest though!

@Heartbrand your server plays custom99. You all wanted modifications to remove PvP imbalances, your item recharging happened to get whacked in the process. Feel free to roll on blue if you want more classic EQ mechanics.
