Talk:Avid Reader Badge

Additional Prometheus requirements

My level 33 and 41 characters was unable to get the badge from Prometheus so I'm guessing that the character needs to be level 50. I am unable to test whether the character just needs to be level 50 or needs to also have the alpha slot open. User:StarGeek/sig 19:32, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

from this thread, it seems that the dialog doesn't open up until you do (complete? succeed?) one of the incarnate trials. I can't tell from the thread whether it's a specific one or any of them, though the latter seems likely. For now, I'm going to put in "must complete an incarnate trial".

Confirming that just being level 50 is not enough. ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 09:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

And now confirming that unlocking Alpha via Ramiel isn't enough. About to hop on a trial to totally confirm. ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 09:14, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

On second thought, apparently it is way too late to hop on a trial. Alternately standing in Pocket D/RWZ, broadcasting and asking in global channels, no bites. Looks like the final part of my confirmation will have to wait until tomorrow. ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 09:49, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Ha-ha. Reading is fundamental. I totally only saw the first line in the patch notes, somehow. I BLAME IT ON IT BEING MIDNIGHT. Oh, god, the unending WAITING... and WAITING... ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 09:55, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I've updated the article to reflect this requirement, along with some other Spruce Hammery tweaks. I've tentatively removed the section detailing the dialogue options from Promethius you need to select for the badge on the grounds that A) they each lead into each other and are the only option that becomes available after completing an Incarnate Trial and B) Rothstein's dialogue options are not documented in this way. Should we decide both should be there, it's easy enough to add it back. --GuyPerfect 16:38, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Your point A is incorrect -- there's only one dialogue path that leads to the badge. Your point B is a faulty conclusion -- If Rothstein's info is not like Prometheus' and you feel that both have to be exactly alike, then update Rothstein. And what you call "Spruce Hammer" I call "removing information." We've been down this route with you before (the LRSF strategy info). If you don't think information belongs on a page, find a new place for it, but stop deleting information from the wiki. Zombie Man 19:12, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I agree with Zombie Man about removing the info. There have been requests for the info on the channels I've been on. Having it available is a good thing, IMO. User:StarGeek/sig 19:32, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
