Add info to Brotherhood of Alchemists quest in quest log

#1 Post by Shaidyn »

This is a really minor thing, but I figured I'd throw it out there. In the quest log, the brotherhood of alchemists lists the progress towards each of the various potions, along with each potion's name. But it doesn't tell me what the potions do. I have to go to the wiki every time to refresh my memory.

It would be be nice if the bonuses provided by each potion were listed in the quest log. :)

Thanks.

Also nice might be a note of where the hermit is if you've got a potion recipe pending for him. He's way to easy to lose, especially if you alternate between multiple characters or otherwise don't play for a while.

There's an addon that used to help with that sort of thing, but IIRC it doesn't work with recent game versions (at least I think that's why I stopped using it…).

Well, at the risk of self-horn-tootage, I have an addon that could help with that… :mrgreen:

It doesn't work for me on the world map. It's supposed to repurpose the autoexplore, right? With a landmark set on the world map you just stand there.

Also this this is the sort of problem you shouldn't need to install an addon to solve.

No, "borrowing" auto-explore is just a fallback if you get interrupted while in transit to a landmark, so you can easily resume going to it. You'll have the "Going to Landmark" status effect while that's the case:

The primary functionality of Go to Landmark is accessed via the "Show known Landmarks" entry on the <Esc> menu.

(shrug) Fair enough.

Selecting a landmark doesn't do anything for me except stick the Go to Landmark icon in my status area.

Hmm, what addon version do you have, and do you have the "Use mouse to move" option turned off? There was a recent bug that sounds a lot like what you're describing.

ZOmnibus 14.0.0 and mouse move is disabled. I find mice awkward.

[sound F/X: svn log] Yeah, that was fixed in ZOmnibus 14.1.1. We Apologize for the Inconvenience.™
