NPC Match List Support

Match lists are | pipe separated lists containing NPC ID(s) or partial (wildcard) NPC names. This is very useful especially when trying to filter activity updates by name.

NPC match lists are available with the following activity types

• Deliver
• Kill
• Speak with
• Give

Fields npc_id and npc_goal_id have combined

Item Match List Support

To bring similar flexibility to that there of NPC Match List(s), multiple item's can be used for the following activity types.

• Deliver
• Loot
• Tradeskill
• Fish
• Forage

Exploration Box Changes

Exploration used to be managed by the proximities table. Part of the recent waves of simplification this is now managed on the task_activities table to simplify. As a result explore boxes are now visible within the activity pane instead of breaking out as their own sub-editor when editing an explore activity type.

Multiple Item Reward(s)

Not only are multiple rewards now possible through the Reward Item ID(s) field (separated by |) you can also see them render in the Task Preview Window
