Talk:GemStone IV Launch

WINTERDAWN - Are you able to verify via your logs that what you added were the original descriptions of your rogue emblem and cleric insignia items? Based on my research thus far, the nouns for every GSIV conversion giftbox item have been consistent within each profession and only article and adjective fields varied. You would be looking for an object called "a wrapped/unwrapped [character name] giftbox' dated Dec 2003 or later, which also contained "a small rations kit" (race/culture-themed snacks)"a silvery blue potion", and a scripted flask or drinking vessel of in various combinations. - NAAMIT (talk) 07:03, 17 July 2021 (CDT)

Hmm. The stats are identical and I know my rogue never got re-rolled so I assumed those were it. Now I need to go figure this out. I searched for "[character name] giftbox" in my logs for that period but nothing came up. I found the announcement message of the giftboxes, and I know I read it, so why do I not have the cleric/rogue stuff? It's possible I lost Arianiss's in a re-roll, but again, puzzling on the rogue.

I did also think all rogues were given boots. I have another rogue I can check too.

Anyways, I found this on March 25th, 2010 for the rogue: In the [character name] giftbox you see a burnished silver emblem, a shuttered brass lantern charm and a heavily enruned gold ring. I still have that ring :D

I am positive the stats for the emblem and insignia are identical to what you listed though.

So I figured it out. For whatever reason, I didn't do it on my cleric. I have no idea why. During the conversion a friend of mine left the game (they were upset at the level crunch) and gave me their rogue, and I think at that point their rogue was on the same account as my rogue and so that caused my rogue not to get one. I searched my logs for "The gift box is provided as a thank you for joining us in the exciting new world of GemStone IV." and only found one result. Sorry for the confusion!

I have a "some polished black leather boots" for a rogue from my original conversion in my locker that I verified with these stats. Is there any set of boots that the description might be off if there was a choice of only 3? I don't want to add a fourth if there was only 3, but don't know which one mine would replace Answered my own question reading the wiki, there was a random generation description from a base pattern.
