Gaxim Rustfizzle's quest series is completely out of order

Open mindphluxnet opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug Gaxim Rustfizzle is the main alliance quest giver in Windshear Crag, Stonetalon Mountains. He offers a rather involved series of quests. However, the requirements are currently not properly assigned, leading to the player being able to skip all the busywork and get straight to the action (Covert Ops). All of these quests are in the database - although the final one (1081) is clearly missing itemization - so they should be used.

The actual order should be:

  • On Guard in Stonetalon (1070)
  • On Guard in Stonetalon (1085)
  • A Gnome's Respite (1071)

This unlocks:

  • A Scroll from Mauren (1075)

leading to

  • Devils in Westfall (1076)
  • Special Delivery for Gaxim (1077)

as well as

  • An Old Colleague (1072)

which unlocks:

  • Ineptitude + Chemicals = Fun (1073)
  • Ineptitude + Chemicals = Fun (1074)

After completing both 1077 and 1074 the following quests get unlocked:

  • Covert Ops Alpha (1079)
  • Covert Ops Beta (1080)

Both Covert Ops: Alpha and Beta utilize scripting (SEND_EVENT) but the scripts are not strictly required as they work without them.

Completing Covert 1080 unlocks the remainder of the series which is straightforward:

  • Kaela's Update (1091)
  • Enraged Spirits (1083)
  • Wounded Ancients (1084)
  • Update for Sentinel Tenysil (1082)
  • Reception from Tyrande (1081)

Quest 1081 should probably be tagged as <Needs Reward> as the quest text suggests you get an item (and in vanilla/classic, you do) but there's no reward assigned. None of the final reward items exist in 0.5.3 so that's probably why.

Note

I'd be doing this myself but I have no idea how quest pre-requisites even work so maybe someone else can do it?

@devw4r please confirm but I think negative ExclusiveGroup is not being handled at this moment in the core (https://github.com/cmangos/issues/wiki/quest_template#examples). So probably this is affecting all quests with negative values there, not only this chain.

Very likely, will take a look at it later. Also if #1061 is ready for merge, I'd prefer to make changes on top of minds work.
