Vocarate Line of spells
 

After a short conversation with Telin on discord, I was convinced that the Vocarate line of summons for mages were correctly made 1 level higher than was listed on the wiki (starting at 52 instead of 51). I even went in and changed the wiki entries as a result of that conversation.

However, Dolalin, in his infinite capacity to drudge up old information, found that the only time those spells were at their current levels on Green was in the Kunark Beta. They were actually changed to start at 51 about 3-4 weeks before Kunark was actually released. This means that the spells should be starting at level 51 now.

Problem: Vocarate line of summons is level 52-55 when they should be level 51-54.

Evidence: https://web.archive.org/web/20010506...sp?SpellID=139 shows that Vocarate: Earth was, indeed, a level 52 spell at one point, but it was changed to level 51 on March 29... 4 weeks before Kunark was actually released.

Here is the web archive showing that Water was changed from 55 to 54 at the same time:

I approve of this thread

Fixed, pending update.

Thank You to all involved with solving this. Props to you Sabin76 for seeking era accurate information! I've been following your progress since you began editing the wiki and am pleasantly happy with how this has turned out.

Keep up the great work!

Now I just need to hope that the update happens before I ding 56 and move on to the new pets :P.

Yes, I hope we get a quick patch here soon.

So was the server restart tonight not an update? Vocarate: Water is still a level 55 spell. :(

No, it looks like it was only a restart with reloaded quest scripts and the monthly rule progression.

Oof. Was looking forward to it, now that I'm 30% into 54... not looking like it will happen before it doesn't matter for me anymore.
