Merchants: alchemy vendors wrong

[nilbog]

Do you honestly believe that evil shamans could not obtain complete ingredients in classic? That only barbarians had access to them?

Pretty sure what he meant was provide specifics, so we can change it. Personally, I know nothing about old alchemy.. and had to research it as much as I could. Had open threads about it for a while for beta, blah blah. [You must be logged in to view images.

Here are some of the links I used for old alchemy.

Maybe take a look over those, or links from them? I wanted this fixed prior to launch, but I couldn't get any help with it. Will replace vendors with similar merchant lists if that is still the best course of action. Waiting for you on this one, emubird.

Thank you for these links, but I am afraid it's the same problem all over again. I had been able to find each of these links online, but none of them are accurate/complete. They do provide some useful information, however, for the old combines, although again, some are inaccurate.

If we take any of these guides as accurate/complete, then our server currently has alchemy vendors selling the wrong items. The vendors in Halas are selling all the herbs needed for alchemy on our server, but none of these old archives list them as such. I guess these archives would necessitate removal of said herbs, but I don't believe that would be correct from classic. In my opinion, we should leave the ingredients on the vendors in Halas, and put the missing ones on the appropriate vendors in Oggok and Grobb.

One thing that is of note from The Shaman's Crucible link: Grobb and Halas are listed as having had the exact same alchemy vendor inventories, and they were indeed the same in classic.

I would suggest using Allakhazam here

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/dyn/items/shampot.html

for potions and their effects. You need to sift through the list to locate the old classic potions, but they are all there.
These items all have listed lucy effects, and you can verify their existences from the extinct potions listing. For some reason, the old archived sites seem to have used the same incorrect effects listings from EQTraders.

Also, some of the old archived sites list recipes as being 'bugged' or Did Not Combine. All of the potions did, indeed, combine, as evidenced by the item lists on alla. I would have to go over the list in more detail to help more, but two examples:

Potion of Somber Origins = rat ears + alkanet root
> as I remember, for a time, there was an herb called 'alkanet', as well as one called 'alkanet root'; alkanet had no use. Alkanet root was required for the combine to work, and it did work.

Potion of Troll's Essence = faerie wing + yebamante
> again, there were at least two different wings, something like 'faerie wing' and 'fairy wing'. Only one of them would work for the combine, but it did work.

If you want me to go over alchemy lists in more detail, I can do so, with regard to recipes and ingredients; but I think, apart from the missing vendored ingredients in the evil cities, and a few missing recipes, that things on the server are mostly correct.

Someone give me the names of the vendors in Grobb and Oggok. I will copy over the Halas merchant_id's.

Wenai, while you're at it, can you fix the brewing merchants in Kaladim? I'm making a separate thread for them. Even though you've assumed the identity of the Faceless One, please keep an eye out for it.
