Shovel of Ponz quest

[Torros]

I just turned in all the items for the Shovel of Ponz quest to Vira in Solusek Temple and absolutely nothing happened. I turned in:

a ruby
a shovel of earth
a gargoyle eye
a Hill Giant Toes

Is this NPC or Quest now broken? Unfortunate to pay over 300p for all these items and then have them disappear in a split second. Thanks for any help.

what was your faction?

[Torros]

Indifferent

[SamwiseRed]

shovel of earth same thing as "a shovel"?

[Torros]

shovel of earth same thing as "a shovel"?

yes, it is just "a shovel" but identifies as "shovel of earth"

[cyryllis]

i know with the ench quests needed amiable faction, can anyone confirm if you need higher than indifferent for mage?

[Torros]

I have only read that it needs to be indifferent or better.

[SamwiseRed]

did this with my high elf mage without any faction work. i would imagine any mage should be able to do this unless they went to sol ro and started a bar fight. then again this is eq and faction has always been somewhat retarded.

the only thing i can guess is you turned it into the wrong NPC. before you think im kidding just look at how often that is the case in the bugs section. OP you should probably list your char name and roughly the time you turned it in so nilbog or someone can check it out.

I definitely gave it to the right NPC. It failed around 5:30 PM EST. Character name is Clear. Thanks again for your help and suggestions. = )

if you are convinced you gave those four items to that npc all at the same time, then try to petition it on the forums. gms can check if u gave those items to that mob and help you if you really did.

i've done this quest without any faction work so it should work just fine. good luck

[Torros]

Am I not petitioning it on the forums right now?

while a GM/guide might see this post and respond, this is the bug report forum, where you post bugs.

for item reimbursement you want the petition/exploit forum and you want to post with the correct thread header and list all the details that you can. while you are at it you might want to link to this thread in your petition thread. petitions are only viewable by the person making the thread and the server staff.

typically a gm such as Ephi will read your petition and check what items you turned in to what mob, and then either recommend that sirken refund you the items and possibly that nilbog look at the quest if it appears bugged, or he will tell you something like "sorry, you actually turned in the wrong items to the wrong npc", but maybe someone with the power to refund items will be nice even if you made a mistake, but that all depends on your attitude, their mood, and their free time.

good luck!

EDIT: as far as getting your items back, this isn't the right place to post. but if you just want to report a potentially broken quest then yes, this is the right place. also i didn't dot he shovel quest, i did the broom quest, so i can't confirm this works for sure.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and inform me of the process!

I show you turned in the Shovel that does not identify as 'shovel of earth'. The quest failed for this reason.

Without identifying, you can determine the correct shovel as not having a dmg/dly, and being lore.

And it took my beautiful 140pp Ruby with it? COLD BLOODED!
