Scribing Issues

I hit 70 on my cleric, but I had not done a scribe in THF since 67? Anyhow, when I went to the shroom guy, he said he could not give me any spells and told me to delevel, then see him and he would teach me how to scribe the spells I didn't have.

I deleveled to 69, told him scribe, and he gave me the 69 spells, but not a single 70 or, iirc, a 68 spell.

Is there something I can do to get the spells he isn't giving me?

yeah, its a sort of a bug with the scribe I noticed yesterday too, he will NOT scribe you spell that below your level.
So if you ever skipped a level going to him, it gets screwed up.

Lillu, you need to look at the scribe script to make sure he scribes spells of your level and BELOW, rather than just your level.

As far as lev 70 spells go- those cannot be scribed at all - those are dropped only.

it's quest::scribespells($ulevel); always been.

Will have to do some research, maybe something is changed eqemu side?

I know you've not changed the script in a long time and I know there was countless times I gained 5-6 levels at a time and gained even multiple pets on a necro. The Necro only ever made it to the mid-50's though so maybe it is specific to a level range ... though that would be strange considering the simplicity of that script section.

Could actually be easy to test. Make yourself a test new GM toon and make yourself level 69 and scribe ... see what you get. I'd do it, but so far I'm stuck waiting for SoD to go live on the LS.

to confirm that bug exists.
Few days ago I told a lev 70 druid that there are new druid pets now available.
He checked his spell book - and did not find them
He went to the scribe and try to scribe - and got no new spells
Then he deleveled to 69, and THEN the scribe gave him all pets available from previous levels.

So take this into consideration.

So, he did learn all the pets including the ones for pre 69? The reason that the spell scriber will not scribe spells for you @ lvl 70 is because if that were so, then you'd get all raid spells for free also.

actually, I didn't asked him if he got all of the pets or just the lev 69 one.
Yeah I realize that scribe not suppose to scribe lev 70 spells, but he SHOULD scribe anything below. If you level from 60 to 62 without visiting a scribe in between, and he won't give you level 61 spells - then we have a bug.

Yeah that's right, just trying to clarify because you said he learned all pets =p

I am not sure if you are wanting to change the script, but maybe you can make an if statement so level 70s can scribe spells that are only 69 and under instead of 70 and under, that way 70s won't have to delevel for 69 spells. I don't know if it is worth the work though. I am not familiar with the EQ mob script, but I used to script numerous mobs for DAOC. Sadly, I have a feeling its a world's difference in scripts.

I already posted what the script does and how that should work. But of course will have a look at it again to confirm and fix the bug.
