VOS CREATIONS & GUIDES

Players are often puzzled as to whether a mission is truly broken or if circumstances (seasons, not fully killed spawn, whatever) are just preventing me from doing so. I'll try and keep this post updated with post number, description and status. Users can report their experiences and possible ease the burden on support staff if we can cut down on the number of mission submitted if answers can be found here. Format I'll suggest is:

Post No. - Region Mission Giver - Allegiance - Problem - Result

Example:

002 - Oflaks Oasis - Belchi Beerdowner - Delta House - Kill 1 Lumper of level 98 or higher in Oflaks Oasis - Does not exist, 97 is Highest.

The City Welcomers have a set of missions that ultimately lead to a reward of a Generic Craft Plan. The instructions are a bit confusing so while not a "Broken Mission", some folks have struggled with it of late. It is noted that if you played before merge, these missions will be offered to you AGAIN, provided that you have no untaken missions at the welcomers. When you complete the initially offered list, new ones will appear.

The generic plans are

Desert = Long (2H) Axe
lakes = Long (2H) Sword
Jungle = Long (2H) Mace
Forest = Long (2H) Spear *

The task is made a bit more confusing on the last one as a 2H Spear is called a "Pike"

The main issue is that the mission givers call them "Training Weapons" and when you look at your list of plans the word "Training" does not appear to tell you which is the right one. They will just read "Long [Weapon]" and the icon has none of the typical nation colors Lakes - Blue / Forest = Green / Jungle = Purple / Deset = Orange). Unlike nation crafting, you can mix mats from any region for these plans.

I will use the Forest set of missions as an example. After you talk to the Welcomer, he / she sends you to talk to someone else. In forest, the name is Marco Menini but no big deal worrying aboutthe name as you get a blue flag. He tells you to go to a Rotoa Tree douth of Avalae and study it. A blue flag will appear on ya map. It's about 260m south of the Avalae New Horizons. I assumed that they didn't want me to stand while I studied so I sat down and clicked the tree.  After a bit, Sysinfo will inform you:

"Teaches you Matis Melee Crafting 1"
"teaches you pike"*

*Again mission instructions do not line up the ones before or after.

Now if you look at your mission window, it says:

"Craft 5 Pike of Quality 10"
"Craft 5 training spears for the apprentice warriors of Ykranis"

The other regions say:

"Craft 5 Long [Weapon] of Quality [10-20-30]"
"Craft 5 training [weapon] for the apprentice warriors of Ykranis"

Ignore the 2nd instruction and craft 5 Pike (or Long [Weapon] in the other regions), using the generic plan which you will find by scrolling down the list after all the racial plans.

If you don't see the mission count going down, you are using the wrong plan. Again, icon should have no color and no indication of quality, telling you to make 5 training [weapons] disappears and tells you to give the crafts to the the NPC.

-In Lakes, you have to go to a cave on the left hand corner south of Windemeer Farm
-In Jungle you have to go sit in Mystic Falls west of MinCho
-In Desert, you have to [I forgot ... will come back and fill in]
