From Zam:

My logs

[Tue Aug 17 21:04:29 2021] You say, 'Hail, a hermit'
[Tue Aug 17 21:04:29 2021] A hermit says, 'Huh!? Leave now before my pets devour you!'

[Tue Aug 17 21:05:10 2021] You say, 'i want to join the unkempt druids'

[Tue Aug 17 21:05:10 2021] A hermit says, 'The Unkempt Druids are the voices of the trees and the animals. We fight for the hunted prey and the vanishing forests. We are the true druids and rangers who fight for the preservation of nature. If humanoid lives must be sacrificed to meet this goal, then so be it!'



[Tue Aug 17 21:09:33 2021] You say, 'i want to join the unkempt rangers'
[Tue Aug 17 21:09:34 2021] A hermit says, 'Then please wait outside for Master Jale Phlintoes. He will be arriving soon.'

The quest info goes back to 2000.

On p99, the hermit does not respond to anything about the unkempt druids nor unkempt rangers.

Bump

Fixed, pending update


The existing text matching was requiring 'help the unkempt druids', based on

I made this less restrictive: help followed by any mention of unkempt druid.


Regarding 'join.*unkempt druids', that is another situation. Based on my research, this trigger was broken until a 2003 patch.

I am adding the phrase to the hermit, for join.*unkempt in the meantime, but Jale will not actually spawn.


Did the phrase work in actual classic?

Awesome find. I am marking it broken in my list.

I believe it does work in classic based off what people are saying.
