[1.2.3] Savescumming leading to missing NCP in Zigur

#1 Post by Chaotic_Heretic »

So I was savescumming for infusions and tier3 mindstars in Zigur
(Check shops.. buy whatever is good, exit town,save, delete the zone files in save directory, reload game, re-enter town, reshop)
Then I noticed that the Protector who gives the quest which enables you to get WildGift/Fungus revealed is missing.

Any way to respawn the NPC? As far as I recall

Now before some people go all judgemental... I am playing on Exploration and it sucks having the gold but all shops having absolutely horrible equips which prevents me from trying out concept/gimmick builds.

seems like another case of "that mob can only spawn once"

it also seems to be happening with the wife dream, the master (if you are temporal) and probably some other places as well.

you really dont have to do that
go next to the shop before the first time you access the shop, then save the game before the first time you browse it, if you dont like what they have kill tome in task manager under processes and reload tome
this will squash all bugs of that sort and avoid many other savefile related complications as well

Looks like the Protector missing is a known bug afterall... just in different forms.

no protector is not common, noone ever does that. isue with "can only spawn once" is known, but i am pretty sure you are the first one, who managed to apply it to the protector.

achivement get: find a new use for a known bug!
