Trithik Guard Tabard

I played this quest long ago, when the game was still using the old way of listing bonuses for checks. Here are a couple of examples of the old way:

1. You must now pick a random number between 1 and 100 below.
   • Your mind score will be added to the result. (+20)
   • Your luck score (x0.5) will be added to the result. (+10)
   • Your level of mastery in Diplomacy (x0.25) will be added to the result. (+19)
2. Because you're wearing the blue tabard, your LUCK BONUS will be x2.
   You must now pick a random number between 1 and 100 below.
   • Your mind score will be added to the result. (+20)
   • Your luck score (x2) will be added to the result. (+40)
   • Your level of mastery in Diplomacy (x0.25) will be added to the result. (+19)

Could someone check if the line about the Luck bonus is still there, or if it has been removed?--Shadowblack 21:32, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, you are correct. That line about the luck bonus is still there. It's in a silver text box right above picking a number when you roll. --Wetheril(talk) 04:21, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
