Ticket Stubs and Smith Times (Can't Redeem)

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 2:22 am

Well after following Primal's suggestion to get around the max item held limit, I finally turned in my bronze, steel, and coal to get a bronze shafted pike. I get the stub, and it's not redeemable until 12 o'clock pm. I logged on at 8PM MUD Time. I wait for the proper time...

HP:Healthy MV:Fresh >
give stub weaponsmith
But a muscular weaponsmith told you to come back any day at 12 o'clock pm! It's only 12 o'clock noon.

That's what happens. The weaponsmith or something reads the time as 12 o'clock noon instead of 12 o'clock PM, so I can't redeem my stub. I waited until midnight, and it comes up as 0 o'clock am.

So can we get this fixed so that stubs are redeemable ANYTIME AFTER THE SET TIME rather than only within that 60 second window? This would overcome this issue and fix a major complaint many players have mentioned with the smithing/stub system.

Theres actualy two things there that aren't right. When he says come back at 12 o'clock pm he doesn't mean it. The actualy time for redemption is whatever he said when he created the stub, cos that is a bug that I had when I tried to redeeem. My actual time was 1 o'clock I think but he kept saying it was 12 o'lcock pm.

The second thing is that it's a nightmare waiting and waiting and waiting to catch that 1 minute out of 24 minutes.

I will make a script to give blacksmith every tic.

Agreed Primal very tedious. And then you end up trying to do something to kill the time and miss it!!!

Which brings up the point of only having to wait a set amount of tics, rather than for a specific 60 second window. But basically I need to try and give the weaponsmith my stub every tic for 24 tics? Oh how harsh and cruel...

It worked. I'm the proud owner of a long pike with a bronze and steel shaft. Got to test it out on some trees, which were generally skewered to low-batt and then bashed to death. Then on some beasties, which I never bothered to skewer but managed to bash once using a miner's pick and the rest of the time, when my bash went through before Viral's, with the pike. Tried on some cougars and managed to skewer them to Wounded twice but couldn't land a bash to save me. Couldn't even hit them half the time.

So it would seem the bug here is that the weaponsmith claims the ticket stub is for 12 o'clock pm, but when you try to give him the stub at that time, he claims it is currently 12 o'clock noon and the syntax doesn't match up. The kicker is that the actual time you're supposed to give the weaponsmith your stub isn't 12 o'clock pm. So you have to sit in the room for 24 tics and give him your stub until it works out.
