an old tree

I was wondering if anyone is doing the evil side quest for the main quest and has come to the part with jodor the lost and the old tree. I have gotten the note from jodor that points you to the old tree, but I haven't been able to figure out what to do with the old tree. Doesn't respond to hails, can't attack, digging with a shovel in that area doesn't do any good. Any ideas?
 
This is by no means an official response, and I'm not on that part of the quest, but 99% of the time in situations like that you have to say a certain phrase or hand the NPC an object. You should be able to figure out which of the two given the information in the quest.
 
Thanks for the ideas, but as far as I can tell they are no-go's... A different person who is at the same part of the quest as I am tried handing in the note from Jodor the lost (the only item related to the tree in any way that I can think of) and he won't take it. Also, no response to any phrase I could think of (should have mentioned that when I said no response to hails).
 
Give the shovel to the tree.

IMO actually digging should, from a RP perspective work, nto to mention it is intuitive. However, there mus have been some issues with coding this, so you need to turn the shovel in to the tree to accomplish this piece.

Normally I don't care for spoilers, but this one is counter intuitive.
 
I'm making a change to this. It should be updated in the next couple minutes: From here out you can trigger this dig by hailing the tree.
 
I hailed the old tree and got attacked by 2 halfling skeletons but i killed them and they dropped nothing and hailing the tree does nothing and i didnt see anything laying on the ground.

Is there a timer on this or is the quest bugged?
 
Hrm, I gave the tree the shovel and killed the two spawns (apparently before the change) and can't tell where to go from here. No drops, no ground spawns, no other responses from the tree. Hate to keep asking for help here, but it really doesn't seem clear where this quest is going or how I'm supposed to get there. I assume eventually I'll end up with an item that will be the treasure Loremaster Tresaria asked me to return to her, but I really don't see how to progress.
 
Three skeletons are supposed to spawn, if they didn't then I'll take a look at it again.
 
Ok, I can definitely confirm only two skellies. I looked all around the area for some other spawn or some kind of ground spawn or anything really.
 
Odd, there's a skeleton up right now that I'm standing next to. I'm going to make a slight change to where they spawn anyway, it should be up in a few minutes if you want to give it another try.
 
It doesn't seem that I can give this another try. The tree won't respond to my hails. Nothing spawns, no reaction when I hail. I seem to be flagged as already having done this part or something. Any chance I can get that fixed?
 
on a side note: the old tree is looking like a human to me. i have all the expansions up to and including ldon installed, as it is suggested in the starting guide. i assume he isn't supposed to have a human model. is it just me or is that a bug?
 
I know that this is not live, but when I raided in PoH I had the same problem ... I had to go and reinstall my velious textures at the time to fix the human bug. Not sure if this info helps, but I am thinking you may want to first try repatching *just because that is my default fix for everything* then try re-installing your CD's.
 
ok, i will repatch if that's the problem. but would be cool if other people could tell me first if it looks like a tree to them.... because all the people i talked to so far confirmed that it looks like a human to them as well.
 
thanks for the info. looks like the model was fixed. a few days ago it looked like a human to me. when i looked again today (and i didn't patch) it suddenly was a tree.
 
You say, 'Hail an old tree'
You dig just infront of the tree. As the shovel hits something that doesn't seem to be dirt, something appears from behind the tree...
No skeletons
No ground spawn
No response to anything else
Will try again later :(
 
There seems to be an issue with the skeletons randomly spawning under the world. I'm guessing it has to do with the slope the tree is on - I'll see if I can find a better spot to put the tree and avoid this problem asap.
