Veeshan Peak's Alt Access (04-19-2018)

[Osiris]

Synopsis:
In this update - if one character on any given account kills Phara Dar, all characters on that same account will no longer need to complete the VP key quest in order to get in VP. The goal here is so that only 1 character per account needs to complete the VP Key quest.


How it works:
Completing the VP Key quest yields the Key of Veeshan, Staff of Envious Rties, and an Aged Gold Coin of Envy.

-Key of Veeshan - The regular Key to VP, grants access to VP.
-Staff of Envious Rites - A rez staff with unlimited charges.
-Aged Gold Coin of Envy - A droppable item that can be used to grant temporary access to Veeshan Peak's (6 Hours) for a character on a different account. (and a chance at permanant access to VP)

-The Aged Gold Coin of Envy can be used on another account for a chance to gain permanent VP access without completing the VP Key quest.
-Once the Aged Gold Coin of Envy is handed-in to Bloodpool in Skyfire, the client will have access to VP for 6 hours in order to kill Phara Dar.
-The key is killing Phara Dar, once PD is dead every group member will gain VP access for their respective accounts (and all characters on those accounts).
-If the client kills Phara dar, permanant access to VP is gained to all clients in the group.
-If the client fails, and the 6 hour window expires, the client loses access to VP and the Aged Gold Coin of Envy will be lost.


Updated:
Emperor Ganak (TrakanonTeeth) - upon completion of VP Key quest, he gives other goodies (outlined above)
Phara Dar (Veeshan Peak) - assigns account access upon death (in addition to normal drops/items)

New NPC:
Bloodpool (Near VP in Skyfire)- Handles Alt access to VP, and member of the Birdman Road Crew.

Q. What If my toon has killed Phara Dar before the Alt Access was coded in? (04/19/2018)

A. You will need to kill Phara Dar again, then the account flag will attach. (just go whack her and be done with it!)



Q. Now that one of my chars has killed Phara Dar, any toon on that account can now zone into VP thru the door behind Dry Sapara?

A. No. That Door is ONLY for VP Keyed (live-like) chars. Bloodpool controls access to VP for ALL non-keyed members (whether for 6 hours, or permanent)



Q. I have 'account access' to VP but never bothered to do the VP Key quest (Rune of Scale), can I still do the Rune of Scale quest?

A. Absolutely. Matter of fact, until you do finish the quest you may notice Bloodpool subtley suggest there still might be a benefit to completing it. (BP says its just a rumor tho)



Q. Having 'account access' to VP; and then completing the Rune of Scale quest - I don't notice a difference, whats going on?

A1. At the current time, there is not much difference at all other than Bloodpool responding to you differently when you hail him (to get into VP)
A2. HINT: completing the Rune of Scale may become a requirement for another 'over-arcing quest' that is in the works. but technically not required for VP access.



Q. I've completed the VP key quest on five of my characters across four accounts; Now that the quest has been incentivised with extra otherwise-unattainable loot (rez stick), do I need to redo the key quest?

A1. No. Woot! Hailing Emperor Ganak (again) will straighten everything out. If a char has finished the VP key quest previously (and still has the key) Ganak will fix quest flags, and summon rewards.



Q. Will Janejett honor the 'account access' flag and port me into VP?

A. No. JJ checks the clients inventory for the VP key, and if found she will fire off the port. If your character only has 'account access' to VP, when JJ checks for the VP key it will not be found, therefore no port. If you have account access, she will send you off near Bloodpool in Skyfire, where you can then enter VP thru BP.
