I'm not sure I'm following what you mean. Are you talking about in the leveling guide or just regular enhancements?

And regardless which one you mean, are you saying when you select the Halfling enhancement tree, your list of enhancements is from a different tree than Halfling?

Maybe it's the same thing I posted above, where Warpriest was giving me Battle Engineer enhancements until I closed the program and started over?

Regular Racial/Class Enhancements. Seems if I chose a new path option (Dex Ranger/Strength Fighter) and I am just testing through races w/ 11 racial AP the tree racial tree is whatever the last enhancement tree I was in. So, before I'd switched up some stuff on a pure fighter build and when started a new build and got to enhancements the racial was stalwart defender. Now, went from Halfling Ranger 20 to Gnome Ranger 20 the Gnome racial tree was tempest. However, if you just toggle to a new tree the trees go back to normal. If it happens again I'll post an image.

Thanks for the details.

I'm not having any luck reproducing the problem, but if I can manage to figure out how to do it reliably (or you guys do and post the steps) I'll get it fixed.

After reading your clarification I was thinking "He must have the enhancement screen open at the same time he's changing race on the Overview screen, so of course it's not updating correctly." But then I tested that and it works properly. Even with the Enhancements tab open and the active tree set to your racial tree, changing race in Overview updates the value of the tree dropdown to your new race choice and the first core for the new race tree is properly shown.

I was around 99% sure that would have been a problem, but it appears I (mostly) accounted for that already. Looks like I missed an edge case somewhere.

Thanks for keeping this up to date! It really helps.

Edit: nevermind, solved my own question here I need some sleep.

[QuantumFX]

Would the changes to tomes be a big issue to implement?

Not huge, no. I'm hoping to have an update with just the new tome schedule in the character builder, plus adding the new expansion quests to the compendium, maybe this weekend. Or next week.

I'm kind of wrapped up in other things and can't devote much time to DDO or my DDO tools atm, but I am motivated to at very least get the tome schedule updated. Adding the new quests to the compendium is a bit of a hassle because it also means adding a new patron (not a huge deal) and a new saga (major headache.) I'll see how it goes.

[trancefate]

This would be awesome, your tools are a godsend.

[MIvan]

Compendium is great!
I had those info in g.sheets before.

It would even better if I can import tome and PL info into the builder.
And for completeness have the fate, MRR, PRR and M/R/S Power tomes here.

Yep, agreed. I do intend to connect the compendium tome info to the character builder, but that will be part of a larger update to the compendium. Namely, being able to import characters from one compendium file to another, and also being able to scroll the character list left and right within a single data file to allow having an arbitrary number of characters in any given data file.

Those tomes you mentioned were oversights, which I definitely want to add. It's fairly quick and painless to add them, but no guarantees they'll be included in the next (quickie) update.

New version is up.


Character Builder Lite

I updated the new tome schedule. Regular level 1 feats don't get tome bonuses, but if you exchange a level 1 feat the tomes do count.


Compendium

I didn't add those last few tomes to the compendium. (PRR/MRR, fate, melee/ranged/spell power.) For now, just use the notes field to track those tomes.

I did add Old Baba's Hut to the Compendium despite it not being released yet. I set it to 9 favor, which was my initial guess and then the wiki page got updated to 9 favor, so I figure that's close enough.

The Ravenloft xp saga rewards are currently set to 0 since that info isn't on wiki and I don't own Ravenloft. Also, I assume you can only skip 1 quest with astrals. Both are just info fields; you can track and claim the Ravenloft sagas just like any other sagas.


Cannith Crafting

I happened to toss a Swaying Mushroom Spore Pod into the crafting machines on live and it turns out that they are indeed used for a couple unbound recipes. (They had been listed as not being used by any shards.) Shards.txt has been updated for that.

Tysvm!

It actually has been released. Presumably the wiki was updated correctly...

Also, thank you for all your hard work!

Really? I went into the game to compare the in-game compendium order with my compendium order to make sure the new Ravenloft quests lined up properly and didn't see Old Baba's Hut anywhere in the quest list. Checking again now I still don't see it, and typing "Baba" into the search box turns up nothing.

Also, I never got any response to my thread about what the wilderness area level ranges are for Barovia, so I just plugged in some educated guesses.

It appears both Raids are missing from the Compendium at this time. I just checked and I can not find either listed.

As for Wilderness level Ranges Heroic is Lvl 7 to 14 and Epic is Lvl 20 to 35

[LrdSlvrhnd]

It looks like Old Baba's Hut (the second raid) has a base favor of 9 - ran that on LN yesterday on one character who has only run Into the Mists on HE, and she has 18 Keepers of the Faith favor. 9 from Into the Mists elite, leaves 9 for Old Baba's Hut normal

NOTE: For some reason, my Windows 10 is no longer letting these programs open web links unless I set them to Run as Administrator, so if you click a link and nothing happens, try running as admin. (Right-click the exe files, choose Properties, click the Compatibility tab, then check the box at the bottom that says Run as Administrator.)

If you don't want to run the app as admin, you can also clear the security block on the application and that should let it run fine without resorting to Run As Admin. It happens because the executable file showed up from a foreign source and did not go through a proper installation.



Checking unblock should stop Windows from preventing the app from running.

Have you considered offering the apps in an installer? I could set you up with a simple one using Inno Setup (free).

[LrdSlvrhnd]

Hey Ellis, I was just comparing my favor on one of my characters and I saw that wiki (and thus the planner) list Riding the Storm Out as base favor 9, but I actually have 20 favor for it on LH. Changed wiki, but figured you'd want to know.

I greatly prefer the "unzip and run" style in order to make it as painless as possible to remove them if you decide the tools aren't for you. (Just delete the folder and it's completely gone, with no trace left anywhere on your computer.)

That's a great tip, though; I'll probably add a link to your post from that "run as admin" installation note in the OP.

Thanks much; I'll update that next time I post a release.
