Report #1697
Skillset: Poisons Skill: Anatine
 Org: Serenwilde Status: Approved Jun 2017
Furies' Decision:
We will add a new source of anatine that is not the eels. No timeframe, depends
on area designer willingness.
Problem: Anatine is currently gated behind mobs that only spawn for a very
outdated quest in Oleanvir Valley. Due to recent affliction changes anatine is
now far more important for combat than it had been previously so its scarcity is
now a concern that impacts actual combat.
[A:13 R: 1] Solution #1: Allow gourmet ghetto eels, which already attack with
 clumsiness, to be extractable.
[A:16 R: 0] Solution #2: Allow adders to spawn without the quest. Either
 remove the quest or update its requirements and allow
 those who complete it to have access to more adders
 (rather than gating all adders behind the quest).

Solution 2. Preferably just remove the quest entirely and let adders respawn.
Adding it to additional creatures after that is fine, but there is no point to
having always-dead-adders.

Sol 1 prefered, but I wouldn't say no to someone taking a look at making the
quest more viable.
---[Shedrin on 5/17 @ 02:39 writes]:
Support either or both.
---[Danquik on 6/3 @ 04:49 writes]:
Sure, both options are good
---[Veyils on 6/3 @ 15:27 writes]:
Support for both.
---[Ciaran on 6/5 @ 11:59 writes]:
Support either solution.
---[Aeldra on 6/12 @ 19:51 writes]:
Fine with either
---[Falaeron on 6/14 @ 22:38 writes]:
Ok.

I'm not a big quester myself but folks have raised a minor issue with the eels
being a farmable mob. To give voice to their concerns "The Ghetto eels. That is
a quest that has high chance of failing due to time constraints, not getting
things properly, not doing things with correct planning etc. Most people need to
repeat the quest. Will be frustrating if any ingredient goes missing and the
mobs are more likely to go missing if they are needed for poisons." If the eels
are farmable for a common venom it may be benefical to look into increasing
their number or repop time.
