I just fucking casted at a tempering perfect that took me like a week to fucking forge. So mad. Now its "locked". Someone on LNET said merchants will unlock locked enchanting projects. Is that true? Anyone have more information on this? Feel like such a dumbass, was not paying enough attention.

Merchants, Most Merchants, can indeed unlock locked enchanting projects. Just ask next time you visit a GALD merchant.

This was stated on the officials, and alot of people weren't thrilled about the lack of clarity during this announcement on that new benefit to merchants

Roughly 4 lines of code would have given you a warning and prevented this.

Well i'm not writing my own lich scripts. If you have one for this exact purpose, by all means LMK, i'll download the hell out of it from the repository. Even if it is only 4 lines.

I'm not referring to a player script. Though I can give you a wizard script real quick.

Start:

put prep 405
waitfor you
put cast at my %1
match nottempered currently tempering
match tempered ready to be enchanted
matchwait

nottempered:

echo project not ready
end

tempered:

put prep 925
waitfor you
put channel at my %1
end

Well do enlighten me then. I would love to know how to avoid this in the future.

I put the "currently tempered and ready to be enchanted" in bright highlighting on my enchanting wizard, and know to only channel 925 at that item when that highlight shows on a 405 on the item.

I highlighted it as well, but the window was bigger or something and the text was at the right end of the screen, so I missed the highlighted yellow tempering text :(

There should be a check in their own code to prevent this. You have been enlightened.

What code? Simu's code?

Yes. A very simple fix.

Basically instead of fucking up your project they could reduce the amount of code it takes to fuck up your project and just warn you that you're a dumb ass (j/k) because your project is still tempering. I would imagine it would take much less code to do that...like much less coding.

Anywho, I wrote you a script that should work in both wizard and stormfront. Save it as a command line script under any name you wish and when you use it just type .nameyougavescript [project]

So let's say you named the script enchantscript and you're enchanting a broadsword, you would just type in .enchantscript broadsword

I'm assuming you already know, but just in case.... a sarmoc potion will fix this, although you will lose all progress.

Read the results after 405 before trying to enchant the item?

Who uses a script to enchant anyway? And I thought I was lazy.

If you use cast 925 instead of 405, you'll also get a temper timing remaining reading, as though you poured a rohnuru or something for a time update. So, 405, cast 925 (also verifies difficulty), channel 925. If you still fail, well, user error.

Ha, I had no idea the cast-925 would give a temper time reading. Good to know. Thanks Whirlin!
