FIXED Crystalline fragments

[Wild Elf]

As far as I can tell, all the monsters that drop keys in the shimmering dungeon is dropping crystalline fragments. not so much the keys but they are dropping the fragments Crystal Lattice Seekers should be the only mob dropping this.

Im posting that link since Heartwood is making a return. There is some good info here concerning the satchel quests.

While Heartwood is making a return the "Crafting" quests that reward the crafting satchels specifically are not.

The old monster kill quests have been re-added down there.

Recipes can be obtained from trade orders and runics via bulk orders.

If those are only used in regard to this quest then the better solution on our end is to just remove them as to avoid confusion.

Dan there are other NPC that pay out craftsman satchels in the game besides heartwood. Two of them are in the shimmering dungeon, one quest is the ICY heart, another is a lucky dagger that you obtain from the crystal serpent, and the third quest is the crystals that are dropping on more mobs then they should.

I don't see anyone abusing these quest, because it involves slaying monsters.

Yea the web page mentioned are all the satchel quests that will be re-introduced to the shard. I thought a good chance to verify for accuracy before release. Make sure other quest items are dropping correctly as well.

Thank you. They have been removed and were not intended to exist.

hopefully its the quest givers that have been removed, because the crystalline fragments are still needed to make gorgon lenses. Could you make them only drop on the crystal seekers as it should be? Also, is it possible to bump the key drop rate on the crystal serpents? the crystal demons drop a key on almost ever single monster, but the one crystal serpent that spawns never drops the keys. I have been able to farm 6 sets of keys minus the one that drops from the serpent. in two days i have only been able to get one silly key to drop and i have killed countless serpents

Also, does my bug report also get counted as an exploit report

I was talking about the quest givers.

The crystalline fragments will be coded to correctly drop off of the crystal seekers, since as you pointed out they still have a purpose.
