Miscellaneous: Red Scabbard Changes Missing

[Bill Tetley]

They made changes to the Red Scabbard in April of 2001 which did not appear in the P99 V41 Patch:

We've made a change to the Red Scabbard that should relieve most of the problems warriors were having with their epic weapon occasionally disappearing during conversion between the two-handed weapon and the two one-handed weapons. What will happen now is rather simple. The very next time you use the container to combine the weapons (or break them apart), the old scabbard will disappear and a new one will replace it.

THE NEW SCABBARD AND THE SWORDS WILL APPEAR ON YOUR CURSOR, rather than in your inventory. So once you have combined them, make sure to place them in your inventory. And don't panic, the items didn't disappear. smile But also MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU HAVE ROOM IN YOUR INVENTORY FOR ALL THREE ITEMS (the two swords and the scabbard, which is a container and needs to be able to fit into your main inventory). If you end up with a No-Drop container on your cursor with no place to put it in your inventory, you will have a problem...

Also, right now the new scabbard is a little bugged. Right now you won't be able to open the new scabbard until you camp out once after it is created. We're working on fixing that bug. We decided to make this change even with this small bug to help relieve everyone of the problems with the old scabbard.

This new scabbard will have a special ability. It will be able to recreate the epic weapons if you have lost them. Simply place a Sword of Runes (summoned by a Magician) into the scabbard and hit the combine button. The scabbard will convert the temporary power of the Sword of Runes into the permanent epic sword.

Customer Service WILL NOT be replacing the old scabbards with the new ones. That will be done by the game itself once you have completed the quest and combined the swords for the first time.

While we don't seem to have the problem on this server with the Swords vanishing in the current scabbard this did allow you to have the 2h version and both 1h versions at the same time.

Will this be implemented at some point?

Thanks for your dedication to this server Devs!

You can have both simultaneously already. You just need to complete the 2nd part of the quest again. I believe the only major bottleneck is a 2nd Chardok Queen blade. Numerous BDA warriors don't carry their scabbard.

I understand this... but my guild has warriors that need the Queen Blade and it's rare enough as is. This only requires a summoned sword... thus why it's exciting to know it should exist right now yet does not.

FTFY.

Chardok Royals confirmed never camped anymore. Take a crew down and get those Blades if they want them!

Might be tricky to implement depending on which version of the Red Scabbard is already in game (or if only one or both are in the P99 database) to prevent people from simply doing Scabbard part and adding a mage sword for epics.

Should be in tho

scabbard is still the difficult part - the blades are easy minus the queen blade

so really it'll save people a trip to chardok - still need green scale, red scale, and stupid hand of asshole deadsinger thing

I don't think anyone is against it, we're merely saying that there is a workaround that's currently available if one wanted to explore that avenue.
