Game Mechanics: Natasha Whitewater - Several things

[nilbog]

Pending update,

-Zordakalicus Ragefire will flee, and not enrage.

The rest of the items.. there is a lot of text. I'd like to have it more consolidated with timeline specific info, and maybe more input. To make the Natashas work chronologically proper, I have to write it into the scripts.

Excellent fix nilbog! Here is my best effort to consolidate / explain timeline on these changes:

1. Natasha Whitewater (Lake Rathetear) - Should despawn after accepting a Damaged Goblin Crown - 1 month after Epic patch (10/25/00)

9-19-00 -- Epic patch
10-25-00 -- Cleric Boards

Also, earlier Natasha didn't despawn when given the damaged crown, so several clerics could get to the next step with only one crown from Bergurgle. Now Natasha despawns, so everyone has to kill Bergurgle (or have someone else do it).

2. Natasha Whitewater (Timorous Deep) - Shoulder despawn after accepting a Lord Gimblox Ring - Always should function like this

Confirmed on live via fraps here. Also there are several posts in era that back this behavior up. The earliest post is here:

EQ Clerics 9-27-00

Natasha will despawn after ONE person gives her ring in Timirous Deep. So don't try to skip ahead.


Fyrefist S'Es, Cleric of Lugoj.
Rallos Zek.

3. Naxot Deepwater (Burning Woods) - Should despawn after being given Ornate Sea Shell (II) - 6 months into Velious (6/xx/01)

EQClerics 6-03-01

On Xegony, we did Ixiblat 5 times on yesterday. Naxot Deepwater now will despawn after you hand in the seashell. During the 5 kills, we tried mez and charm and not doing anything. She despawn right away after hand in, so no more back to back spawning of Ixiblat anymore. Instead it is now 1 hour gap for every kill.

Below pieces either already work properly I just mention because it is counterintuitive (#4) or it needs more evidence (#5).

4. Natasha Whitewater (Timorous Deep) - Should NOT despawn upon receiving Message to Natasha - Currently works like this on P99

See previous posts for evidence, but this requires no change curently

5. Natasha Whitewater (Timorous Deep) - Should spawn 2 different versions (like Sirran in PoSky).

Version #1 is spawned when someone turns in "Bloodied Plasmatic Priest Robe" to Omat. This version will accept Lord Gimblox Ring in trade.
Version #2 is spawned when someone turns in Singed Scroll + Scepter of Ixiblat Fer to Omat. This version will accept Message to Natasha in trade.

This is backed up by a single post on EQCleric forums. I would like to test it on live to see if it holds any water, but I haven't camped enough Gimblox/Bergurgles. Will update when this occurs.

This is already scripted to despawn, but the date is different. It's set for 3/01. Need more info to change.

Previous thread that corrected Naxot to the era appropriate multi-turn in version.

May or June 2001 seem appropriate given the source information in both threads
