Quest items

[FEV47]

Please make quest items separate because now they stack together with normal items and make them quest items also which you can't sell or use like during that put golden flower on shelf quest i had maybe 40 flowers and they all became quest items. Now i can't even use them in alchemy let alone sell them. Only option is to drop these unneeded quest items so they don't "infect" other duplicate items. Same with the book the mage gives you to use as a bribe.

That shouldn't happen. And it's the first I've heard it happening. Can you send me a save file with the problematic items? (to [e-mail])

[FEV47]

I think it happens when you have the same items as the quest will give you already in your inventory. After the quest item has been given normal items won't stack together.

Yeah, I remember having more than one book marked as a quest item for the bribe part so I could not sell any of them.

Thanks, got the save. I don't know what happened. You cannot have the "same item" as the quest item already, because the quest item is a specific item, which you can't get apart from the quest.

Still, I see you have a lot of "Gold Flowers", so something happened. You wouldn't have an earlier save, from before you've taken this quest, have you?

Not being able to do anything with quest items is normal. What is not normal is having this many of them...

Seems like you can. Just loaded a save game and my Gold Flowers are marked as quest items - golden name (also weight is 0.0 and they cannot be used for alchemy) even though I have not reached Mithria yet. It's probably the same thing with the book for archmage quest.

Earlier saves got overwritten. Sorry.

That's what I'm saying. The alchemy ingredient is "Narcissa's Gold Flower". "Gold Flower" is the quest item and you shouldn't be able to get it any other way than by getting the quest... Do you remember where did you get them?

[duchU]

No. But considering I have never bought any ingredient and I have a lot of them (over 30 at the end) it must happend what FEV47 said -> they are normal items that became quest items somehow :) Also I have two "Archmage's book of Mind Magic" books, both marked as quest items. So it's not only about the flowers.

I have also some Narcissa's Gold Flower (12 at the end) and they are white items with 0.2 weight and 3 magic effects when Gold Flowers have only one - Dispel effect.

[duchU]

You can pick up Gold Flowers (quest items) in Gardens of Matras. Just checked it :) So it seems the game sees some Narcissa's Gold Flowers tagged as Gold Flowers. And it's probably the same thing with quest books.

There are Gold Flowers in other gardens too. I guess you have to check all flowers in the game if you want to fix this. Not sure about the book but I think it can be found as the loot from the specific monster/place before you get the quest that involves this book (at least from what I remember).

[Elendil / Redshift]

Thanks! That flower shouldn't give the quest item, it should give the "Narcissa's Gold Flower" alchemy ingredient. I've fixed it in the next update. :)

The magic book in question can't be bought in shops, so it must be that somehow it's in the world erroneously, to be picked up. But without a concrete location, I don't want to spend the time looking for it, it's not that important. Just drop it, if not needed. :)

[duchU]

Have no idea where exactly that book is. Maybe gonna find it again in the future. But I have other question. Is it possible to replace sounds the same way you can replace portraits? I mean mostly slash (sword hit) and bash (arrow hit) sounds. After playing LoG2 these two sounds kill my ears every time I hear them. It's like scratching a blackboard syndrome :D

[Elendil / Redshift]

No, the sounds can't be replaced that easily.
