Missing quest item: Ruby Ring

[Winter Wolf]

This run when I killed the Ogre Mage and his pets he didn't drop the quest item for Scar. Am I missing something?

[stcaFylnO]

I havn't run into that. Was quest active? Maybe import quick with console or ee keeper?

Search corses in the corridor - it shoudl be there

Using the red <> button makes that obvious. There was no ring.

The red button won't show it. You have to loot stashes there.

The corpses are "containers" - not "normal corpses" (done in this way in order to preserve items inside - because items/corpses disapear after some time if left on ground). You can not see their inventory without going to "open" them.

[Winter Wolf]

All containers were looted. There was no ring.

Okay this was bugging me and I had deleted my old saves, so it took awhile to get back here. Sorry, it took so long. See: Procedure with workarounds and other details below.

We have conflicting replies, possibly due to different versions, mods, and or outdated sources.

I was unable to reproduce Winter Wolf's findings. If anyone can reproduce, please post replies, since Beamdog cannot fix what is not reproducible. We may be missing a variable that Winter Wolf stumbled upon (excluding user error). Similarly, please reply if this fixes the problem, and or if anyone can verify my findings.


---------------------------- Details ------------------------------------


Procedure for BG EE:
-) Prerequisite? I talked to Scar at Wyrm's Crossing with honest & accepting responses.
0) Enter into Baulder's Gate at beginning of Chapter 5.
1) In East Baulder's Gate, turn everyone invisible, climb into sewers (x2651, y495, ar0800)
2) Kill the Ogre Mage & Carrion Crawlers (x1197, y1591, ar0226), no talking required.
3) Acivate the red gem button to show loot on floor.
4) Pick up Sashenstar's Ruby Ring at same coordinants, dropped by Ogre Mage.
5) If ring is not present, import via EE Keeper or Console, then cash in when appropriate.
6) If only a Ruby Ring is found in containers and Sashenstar's Ruby Ring is NOT present, then this may imply a different version of product, and or mods. Therefore, attempt to cash in quest with a normal Ruby Ring, as per old product procedures.
7) If one ring type, or both are not spawned, import as needed & try cashing in both types?

Notes:
Quest does not require activation to find the rings.
Coordinates of mouse cursor are shown within log window, by clicking the "X" key.
Ensure ring wasn't missed and despawned, sold, dropped, misplaced.
Ruby Ring (Normal): Inside 1st container, left of Ogre Mage, on wall (x834, y1433).
Ring is not required, but it does provide a bonus to the reward (explain motive).

Unverified by me, but posted on wikia:

If the player talks to the farmer Brun and offers to help him out financially, he will take any ruby rings the player has found, including the Signet Ring.

Console:
Sashenstar's Ruby Ring, aka Signet Ring: RING19MA
Current console command for import: C:CreateItem("RING19MA")
Ruby Ring (Normal): RING19

Version:
Version: BG EE, 2.3.67.3, vanilla (no mods), DLCs installed

lol, I keep proofreading and editing...

[Winter Wolf]

Conscientous posts are gold in the era of post and run.

[Winter Wolf]

So I decided to try again with a different run and this time the ring dropped as a part of the Ogre Mage's loot. Which is how I expected it to drop before. I think that is how it is intended to drop (not as a container loot.)

[stcaFylnO]

That's good to hear; heck, I'm always overlooking the most obvious things like, reload, or plug the cable back in. :)

I just looked this up because I am playing this again. I am not sure I ever completed this mini-quest before...but I imagine it's pretty hard not to complete it if you're doing everything thoroughly. I just don't remember - it's been a while. I killed the ogre mage and got the ring. I talked to scar directly after quest. I don't think there was any mention of a ring or anything and I still have it on my person. In my journal, all I have about this quest is "we crushed the ogre mage behind the disappearances and told scar the good news". Any ideas?....update: I just went to the sewer to get a body for Arkion and on one the corpses embedded in one of the walls was a "ruby ring", whereas I already have Sashentar's ring....Beamdog casts confusion.
