    Maelstrom Supply/Provisioning Missions

    After the box to select which item to turn in to the Maelstrom officer, the following occurs. (I'm choosing Fish Glue, for reference, but I'd recommend double-checking the other items.)

    "Ah, I see you've brought us Three blocks of fish glue. It would be my pleasure to issue with 5 Storm Seals for said delivery."

    That's a randomly capitalization in the middle, and I'm not sure why there's a "with" in there. . .

    Two confirmation boxes later comes the following:

    "Proceed with delivery?
    Item: 3 [en]
    Reward: 5 Storm Seals"

    I'm sure you're all familiar with the [en] thing by now. . .

    Lastly, after completing the delivery, we have "My thanks, Private Third Class. Here is your reward. I hope the Maelstrom can count on your assistance in future." The word "the" seems to be missing before the word "future."

    *Just checked, and all of these same issues happen when turning in Ash Branches, as well.

    Seems like there's an awkward text flag transition, and then a broken one. The [en] is definitely a cell flag error in their spreadsheet; either it connects to the wrong cell, or the wrong one was filled in, etc. As for the first, my guess is that it's pulling pieces of text from a formula of options, and one of them was just worded awkwardly and it didn't get noticed until they were put together like that.

    Think of the person's answering machine who says, like, "[Person's voice] Hi, you've reached Anonymoose, please leave a message and I'll get back to you asap... [computer voice] is not in right now. To leave a message, press one or wait for the tone."

    Both errors have been corrected, and the changes will go live in a future patch. Thanks for the post, Viri!
