Sauranok Will Point The Way - Quest Text
When going in to complete this quest, Sauranok had very strange text. It only read: "mage."
It wasn't capitalized, it didn't have any structure to it, etc.
First I needed to find the quest id. I used the SQL 'LIKE' statement to search with wildcards - I could have just done it with an = and no %'s... but I wanted to show you some other methods. I could have gone LIKE "%Sauranok%", and it may have given me more options in the output that I would need to pick from.
SELECT `Entry`, `Title` FROM `quest_template` WHERE `Title` LIKE "%Sauranok Will Point The Way%";
The output was:
+-------+-----------------------------+
| Entry | Title |
+-------+-----------------------------+
| 28909 | Sauranok Will Point the Way |
+-------+-----------------------------+
Okay - so Quest ID/Entry = 28909.
Because I couldn't remember the correct column name for the part of the window that was showing me "mage.", I needed to do the following:
SELECT * FROM `quest_template` WHERE `Entry` = 28049;
I'm not going to post the output this time, because it would be very long and messy. But I noticed that OfferRewardText was equal to: "$c."
$c is a variable for "class", so... because I was playing a Mage, it displayed "mage."
I needed to find the correct text for this, so I went to Youtube and found a 10 year old video (around the time of actual Cataclysm). It showed me the following text:
<Sauranok nods toward you>
Paladin.
So, oddly enough the text quest was essentially correct - it's just the class name. However, there does seem to be an extra line above it, and the class name should be capitalised. The formatting for this uses "$B" to go to a new line. For more information on these variables, see here.
The final SQL fix for this one was:
UPDATE `quest_template` SET `OfferRewardText` = "<Sauranok nods toward you.>$B$B$C." WHERE `Entry` = 28909;
