Prism of Light, other Peerless items bugged

Post by Zodart »

There's a few problems over at the Prism that are a bit more wordy than a PM or page can handle. This ought to be a good place to keep them for now.

Firstly, the "scattered crystals", dropped by Crystal Hydras, are not being accepted by the Effusion summoning collector in the frozen mummy room. The box just rejects the item. I have seen it accept the shattered, broken, fractured, and fragmented crystals from other creatures in the area.

Related to that problem, you need 6 items to summon effusion, but only 5 appear to drop on any monsters right now. "Fractured" from Crystal Daemons, "Shattered" from Crystal Sea Serpents, "Scattered" from Crystal Hydras, "Crystal Fragments" from Crystal Vortex, and "Broken" from Frozen Mummies appear to be dropped normally, but this should still leave "Jagged" crystals necessary. Crystal Guardians, I believe, are supposed to drop these, but having killed quite a few, they're only dropping the same "fractured" crystals as the daemons. These two problems make it impossible to fight Shimmering Effusion to complete this part of the peerless quest.

Related to the Prism of Light, though it may not be the bug, can I confirm whether the crystal sea serpents are still dropping Icy Hearts for the Prism of Light Collector? I have killed nearing 50 or more of them and seen no sign of any sort of special item from them. I know it's been said the ML guide webpage is a bit out of date still, so I'm not sure if this monster is still dropping what that page says it should.

Slightly less related to that, I have a couple versions of the final gem collector, neither of which are accepting the Gem of Bedlam, and the one I just picked up from the Collector Maker won't accept my Gem of Blight either. I'm not sure which item has which flaw, but there might still be a problem with the collector at this time.

I hope all that's enough information to work from. :)

Edit, November 29: Ran through the Prism again for kicks, found the Guardians were dropping a different crystal than before, this time the scattered crystals from the hydras, rather than the fragments from the daemons. Go figure. Also, during the house drop I found several "crushed" crystals lying about in some houses, so those were probably what the guardians were originally dropping, rather than the "jagged" ones I mentioned above. That info might help in working out what all needs touching up. I hope. :)

I'll Continue this Post with The Blighted Grove.

First off Melisande doesnt seem to drop her Spellbook, I have killed her aprox 60 times now I think still havent gotten that spellbook. Also she still drop silver instead of elven notes.

Furthermore the other monsters drop their items. Though you cannot add the Remnants from Drevo into the collector.

Other than that blighted grove seems to work as intended. :)

Will continue this post when I try out the others.

Sanctuary and Bedlam seems to be working perfectly though..

As promised, I've gone through the whole quest again and logged any problems I had. Turns out that Jill Muffit and Devilman were doing it at the same time and managed to get most of it fixed in the process, but there's just a few lingering problems and aesthetic issues left over. I'll list them off by dungeon, and with the date at which I found the problem to be true, as it may or may not have been fixed since then.

Bedlam:
-Perfect! Functions as intended. However, a future change in which Grizzle item goes into the collector might be nice. Right now, the collector uses the Grizzle Bones, but this item is also used for crafting. I'd recommend using a item the Grizzle drops on other shards as the collector item, such as the "Monstrous Grizzle" which looks like an odd splat of skulls or something. Then, the "Grizzle Bones" could be made to drop every time like Melisande's diseased bark and Shimmering Effusion's captured essence for the sake of crafters. Perhaps this could be adjusted after the other parts of the quest are completely fixed.

Labyrinth:
-Egiptski Dragon needs his name to be blue.
-True as of December 16, 2008.

Sanctuary:
-Fire Ruby Dragon needs a blue name.
-True as of December 17, 2008.

Palace of Paroxysmus:
-Putrid Waste needs a blue name.
-True as of December 18, 2008.

Blighted Grove:
-Gem of Blight will not go into the gem collector.
-Might be nice if Paroxysmus dropped his recipe item (Paroxysmus' Lard) every kill like Melisande and Shimmering Effusion. Minor complaint.
-True as of December 21, 2008.

Prism of Light:
-A strange difference between Glacial Elementals and Glacial Water Elementals. The water elementals have a blue name, the glacials do not. They both drop jars of glacial water just fine though, so...only vaguely confusing, no extreme problem.
-Ice Vortex needs a blue name.
-Ice Wyrm needs a blue name.
-Ice Wyrmlings need blue names.
-Shimmering Effusion: blue name.
-True as of December 23, 2008

I've checked the collector problems again today, with new collectors, and they still persist, but they're the only 3 that remain. Other than that and the minor quibbles about name colors, the quest is looking to be just about perfect at this point. I've still got to run it a few more times for a full set of armor, but all of this information is true as of completing the quest today.

Edit: By January 17, I can confirm all but the gem of blight works perfectly, and only because I haven't earned a new one just yet. If it works, only minor quibbles like blue names will be left. :)
