Conversation with Mage Taurnik at beginnning.

 

"Contratulations" needs to be changed to Congratulations.

 

Put to the Test quest talking to Order of Life Preist.

 

"You deserve to know how to came to losing your memory in The Void."

 

Not sure what you want to say here.  May need to be, "You deserve to know how you came to lose your memory in The Void."

Arcane Council Trial Mage Gilbertus

 

"I'm sure you can understand it has as all rather excited."

 

Needs to be "us".

 

Arcane Council Trial Mage Lucas

 

"has saved my bacon more times that I care to remember,"

 

Needs to be "than"

 

Skinner Amella in Othalo

 

"Come back when you have collect 10 Tattered Hides."

 

Unless you want her to have a southern  US accent you might want to change it to collected.

 

Conversation with Scholar Farlin:

"The good news is Tristan can never use the full potential of the Dark Spheres power.  Each spheres counterpart is keeping their power in equilibrium."

 

Both spheres should be sphere's.

 

 

Please tell me that ya'll made changes to some of the conversation boxes.  I've been through here at least twice now and I hope I didn't miss all these the first 2 times through.

 

Guide Martuk Conversation when you enter Eldevin City.

"... allows you to teleport to the central square from anywhere where in the world."

 

Need to lose the where.

When you first get the "My Supplies" quest Mandreke says:

 

"They killed the Eldevin Guards and have taken everything... everything! My wife, my supplies, my money! You have to help me get them back. I'll make it worth your while."

 

Then you both went and forgot all about her! For shame!

Some of them, though I'm pretty certain Amella, Farlin and Martuk are the same as they've always been. This just goes to show, the more pair of eyes over this stuff, the better. :)

Conversation with Farmer Lyon:

"I bet you've never done a hard day's graft in your life."

 

Do you want to say craft?  Not quite sure how graft fits.  Grafting as in political  corruption or as in splicing two different fruit trees together.

The word "graft" is another word that can be used to mean "work". Usually it comes up in the phrase "hard graft".

 

Is this a British-ism?

According to Merriam-webster, that definition is "chiefly British".  But it is a perfectly legitimate word, not slang, even in the US.  Just one of those words that very few in this country knows exist (with that definition), and even less use.

 

I vote leave as is!  The word has been around since the mid 1800s.  The US has foisted enough words on the language, about time to bring back a word from the 'real' English :)

 

(Thank you for bringing this up, Greywolf.  I learned something new this morning checking it out, and that's always a good way to start a day.)

I vote leave as is too.  I found multiple defintions but didn't find "chiefly British" one.

I'm doing the quest "Gesturing", "Speak with Oswald in Othalo", the dialogue box that starts with him saying "I'm all out of ideas..."

 

There's a sentence "Then comes the dancing, so show off you're best moves!"

When handing in the Arcane Council Trial quest, Mage Litha says "You've certinaly convinced me you're capable of joining the Arcane Council." should be "certainly".
 
When talking to Julian, he says "I've caught a few Stickleback today." should be Sticklebacks.

Not necessarily a typo, but when completing the Eldevin Army Trial quest and talking to Captain Garret, he says "And from now on you shall address me as 'sir'. Punctuality is expected at all times from our recruits."

 

I get that he wants you to call him sir, and I'm sure he does expect punctuality, but the second sentence following on from the first makes it sound like he's explaining that he wants you to call him sir because he wants punctuality...which makes no sense as punctuality means "being on time" and is nothing to do with respecting your superior or having good manners, either of which would make sense.

 

Later on in the same dialogue, it's apparent that Captain Garret also expects recruits to be tired, as he tells you to "be weary" when fighting Black Beetles, when I'm pretty sure he means "wary". :)

The tooltip for Animal Skin says "A basic resource used in the Skinning Professions" but as far as I know there's only one of those and it should be Skinning Profession.

Near the Othalo Farm by the river where there are several Domestic Shigras:

That's actually written in Scottish dialect, so idgit, believe it or not, is correct. (though we'd more commonly spell it idjit)
