The Hidden Forest

Wombilino Tinkerneedle in paludal caverns has a quest that is a little confusing to get, when you first hail him, he puts out his text with the words plerg phlarg fiend highlighted. When you type that out, his text advances, the next bit of text, his highlighted word is hunting. But when you type hunting, the text does not advance. You actually have type out the whole phrase "why are you hunting them" to get the text to advance. This could be a problem for some since the only key word highlighted is hunting but to get the text to advance you have to type out an exact phrase which people do not know what the phrase is.

did you try clicking on the highlighted word?

To explain what is happening, the purple links are called saylinks and when clicked will cause your character to automatically say the correct response to advance the NPC text. Some of these are personalized responses for your character - for example if you click "name" from Queen A, you'll actually say "Jerant" or whatever your name is.

You'll need to use them because in some later NPC conversations you will have, it may be nigh impossible to guess the right trigger phrase as I used up to 3 words sometimes to avoid problems when sorting out responses based on your specific class

I was standing there with him as he was trying the quest texts, and asked that he post here for yall. It seems that he's getting hung up on the link [hunter], and the only way I could advance him through the line was to click the links myself and let him move off of my textual input.

Oh okay, I didnt know that you could click on the highlighted word to advance the text. I was sitting there trying to type out the highlighted word and trying to figure out the right combination of words to advance the text. Thank you for pointing that out to me.
