FIX for this Error Message:- Open the file eqstr_us.txt with a text editor
- Insert the line for 8053 at the proper position.
Code:
8034 Usable
8053 You have created something new.
8500 Request Adventure
- Save the file
- Restart your EQ client

The 8053 String Not Found message is only for the success message, and doesn't affect combine chances. It is the success message. I think it used to be "You have combined these items to make something new."...

Kudos to you two for actual posting a solution rather than re-reporting a bug 15,000 times.

Just edit eqstr_us.txt with a non-insane text editor (Notepad does not count as non-insane; Notepad++ is fine.)

Oh, boy. I wish I paid attention to this warning. I opened with Notepad and hosed my client - ended up breaking every string in the game.
I then downloaded Visual Studio Code and discovered the file got converted from
UTF-8 to
UTF-8 with BOM. I have no idea what
BOM is, but converting it back to standard
UTF-8 encoding fixed the issue and now I have my strings back, including the crafting success string!
