That's because more people want to drop 6 of an item than any other number. It makes it easier to select 6 if there are 2 of them. :)

I started a forum thread on this as soon as i noticed, all my characters had it. Pretty cool, maybe its a bonus for us, not a bug. I'm going back to the thread now to see. --[[User:Rozen|Rozen]] 05:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

This isn't a bug, it's normal. You wouldn't normally use an oilstone once and throw it away. However, perhaps sharpening stones should wear out after a number of uses. Might be worth proposing on the forum or wiki suggestion page. --[[User:Simon|Simon]] 19:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Visit the relevant clan page, join the clan by clicking the button. Visit another clan page, click the join button.
 
By default, the primary clan will be the first one you joined, but using the edit profile page, you can change your primary clan to be the other one. This is slightly different to how the edit profile clan section used to work, but given that there are more restrictions possible on the clans now, it seemed a logical change. --[[User:Simon|Simon]] 22:08, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

*This seems to be fairly simple. When you attack someone of your same faction, you get 1/2 XP as normal, rounded down. So instead of 1.5 XP for 3 HP damage, you get 1 XP. And instead of .5 XP for 1 HP damage, you get none. -[[User:Mark D. Stroyer|Mark D. Stroyer]] 02:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

*That would be because the deer did not leave the square. If it had, that would trigger the change. But this is useful when you discover a player body, because you can track and see whether the body is outsider or native. And whether outsider or native killed the player. -[[User:Mark D.

:It does indeed show up - I should make the clans be listed by id rather than whatever the database order is. To add it to your profile, you need to join the clan using the clanview page ([http://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=165]) - the profile part only lets you change which is your primary clan. --[[User:Simon|Simon]] 22:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

This page is for adding reports of possible bugs. Once the bug has been confirmed, it can be moved into the Known Bugs section.

Before reporting a bug, you might want to check Not Bugs just in case it's actually not a bug.

Bugs that have been resolved and older than a week, can be found at Bugs:Fixed.

Example

Use a simple, sensible bug title. Provide information about your browser, operating system, character class, and location terrain if necessary.

To use the template, enter the following, but replace emboldened text with text appropriate to your bug report:

Possible Bugs

Trading

Timestamp: 00:24, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Logged by: One of many doctors
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: I'm at trader Harry's hut in York and decide to trade gold coins for gems. He says:
You ask to trade your gold coins for his gems. Trader Harry makes you an offer, "Gems are in short supply so I want more than the usual price. I want thirty four gold coins for a gem"

When I try to trade gems for gold coins he says: You ask to trade your gems for his gold coins.

Trader Harry makes you an offer, "I'll give you four gold coins for a gem"

Comments
Are you a new/old trader, is he happy to see you or bored with your presence in his store? Are you using a native character? Either of these conditions could result in over the top price differences, or it could just be a bug! --Simon 15:41, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Probably old Outsider. He keeps saying something about how there's an entire island to explore, but I don't see how that can account for a 850% price difference. --One of many doctors 01:30, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
It's a "feature" of the trading, although it does seem a little harsh. --Simon 12:49, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
"blunt knives are in short supply so I want more than the usual cost. I want two knives for a blunt knife." today. This isn't a glitch but you should still fix it. why don't we suggest blunt and non-blunt weapons being added together for the price? --AlexanderRM 00:30, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
You mean make the blunt knife and knife have the same value? Ideally the trader would just ignore the short supply modifier for blunt machete/cutlass/knife and that would probably make it a straight swap. --Simon 07:39, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Contact list numbers

Timestamp: 21:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Logged by: Frisco
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: My contact list for player id #74 somehow got 52 contacts on it. I can't add anymore - the contacts.cgi page says: "You have 52 added so far and can add -2 more." - but i was wondering if there was a bug that allowed me to get 52 contacts, or if the restrictions that were in place weren't effective until a couple days ago (i don't recall when i last added to my list), or if there's some off-by-two math errors going on. I counted up the number of contacts i have, and indeed there are 52.

Comments

  • Restrictions have been in place from the start. Probably just a buglet and I've a fairly good idea where. --Simon 13:17, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


Haggling Text when Selling

Timestamp: 23:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Johan Crichton
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: When you're selling items to a trader, if you have haggling you get a message about the trader not prepared to lower his prices (IIRC). Shouldn't it be that the trader isn't prepared to pay more?

Comments

Redirect on login to //game.cgi

Timestamp: 05:12, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Johan Crichton
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: When you login to Shartak, the redirect often takes you to http://www.shartak.com//game.cgi (double slash before game.cgi), while a quick refresh while get you to http://www.shartak.com/game.cgi this seems possibly a quick bug to fix.

This isn't a problem for the average user - but for those of us with greasemonkey scripts it can be problematic - and avoiding a refresh of the page would seem desirable?

Comments
I was to post it myself, quite an annoying one - Lama.


Buying Items over Inventory limit

Timestamp: 03:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Johan Crichton
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: While I don't think I could trade for more items to carry, it was possible for me to buy (with gold) the item putting my invsize at 72 / 70. This seems wrong?

Comments
It's probably a bit late, but do you remember what item you bought and how many of them you bought in one go? --Simon 07:36, 30 May 2007 (UTC)


Item multiplication in holes

Timestamp: 13:38, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Xintlaer
Status: new
Severity: critical
Description: I dug the maximal depth of hole right south of the pirate shaman. Then I dropped a blowpipe into it, yet it didn't dissapear from my inventory, so I repeated it three times. Afterwards I filled the hole with earth up to the top, and the blowpipe was still in my inventory. When I dug back into the ground I found 3 blowpipes... I believe that this may lead to item multiplying and players multiplying their gold to insane amounts.

Comments

  • Shhh... don't tell everyone ;) Seriously though, this does seem like a bug, but I could have sworn this was fixed during testing. I'll have a poke around and see what's going on. --Simon 14:55, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


Two dead animals

Timestamp: , 11:57, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Postcardsaremine
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: I killed two wild boars today. But i had this:

Here you can see Michael Edwards (84 of 85 HP). Also here is the body of a wild boar, and the body of a wild boar.

shouldn't it say something like there are two dead wild boar bodies here. or something shorter?

Comments
This is just like "Also here is a tiger, a tiger and a wild boar." instead of "Also here are 2 tigers and wild boar." At some point this may be fixed, but probably not any time soon. --Simon 22:00, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


Invite-Only Clan, founder not a member

Timestamp: 05:20, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Logged by: Rozen 05:20, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Status: new
Severity: low
Description: When starting an invitation only clan, Dethklok, I'm credited as founder, but not a member, because I can't invite myself, because of a message saying I can't manage myself. Kind of 'Chicken and the egg' style problem. You can get around it by changing it to an open clan for a minute, while you join, but I think this should be made known.

Comments

  • Clan founders are now automatically invited to be in their clan. Consider it fixed. --Simon 07:34, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
