[b+] Raid Bosses giving the Wrong loot

[Grace Batton]

Grace Batton slew the rogue necromancer. (Full report) Grace Batton also took a Misaligned Pistol [APQ: 5, 6, 3] (debug: 23)

Undead raid didn't give a relic. Should have been a Deepsleeper's Acorn.

My phone wont let me copy paste to here Eva won the last Ancient raid and got a global loot drop.

Can anyone sort this out, please?

Byzantium still hasn't received the relic.

[Caligrace]

This is a fix we've been bashing our heads against for a while now and I'm losing my mind over it, I swear. ><

Can you tell me the relic you were to receive, please? I'll see about getting it out this week to you, along with the others.

I do apologize on the delay for the relics, as a whole. That's on me, but I'll make up for it. :)

[Levi DAmico]

It's the one you get for beating the Ancient Sorcerer. The Ancient's Pendant, I believe. Byzas would really appreciate it.

Thank you! :3

Hi! :) IDK about the rest of the posters on this thread (and perhaps this and that one s/b merged? The only diff seems to be the alert part, imo?) but Alex never got the relic from this time:

Subject: [b+] Raid Bosses giving the Wrong loot

This is a thing again.

"The gang boss is dead.
Alexandrea gains 150 exp!
Alexandrea also took an item (Greater Mooncalf Bone)"

(Gangster Raid s/b Arcane fetish relic)

Yeah, it's the same issue. I was just confused by the whole "no alert thing" when I asked about it in Chats one time.

I probably don't know enough to make a true observation, but I do believe that the problem lies in the fact that certain Raid Bosses appear as regular NPCs on grid, which means that if that particular NPC (for example Ancient Sorcerer) was set to drop the relic loot 100% of the time, people could farm the relic by hunting the grid NPC instead of going for the raid.

If that's what is happening, the best fix would be to create a new NPC exclusively for the Raid Boss and give it that 100% loot drop for the relic. Of course, that's not necessarily a simple fix as you'd have to go into the code and edit the Raid battles, not just fiddle with the database. But, that would be the worth the trouble. Ya know, provided that's the problem.

Honestly, my memory's not that great for remembering all those codes. XD

[Caligrace]

Thank you! I’ll get them both out to you this week, probably tomorrow. Just keep an eye on your inventory.

I’ll make a relic thread when I do, too, so we can keep track of it while we’re working on the hopeful fixes.

[Alexandrea]

Awesomeness! Thank you!
