Loreroot Guardians Start Visible

[Fyrd Argentus]

Fyrd etc. as Bongo

The whole business of drinking the potion to see the loreroot gaurdians doesn't make sense right now, as they start out looking like humanoids, and don't change when you drink the potion.

Wasn't there supposed to be a different picture at first?

I'll try to get snapshot proof with my other skulking alt.

Another alt, first time approaching the guardians, screen shots.  No changes.

What would be the intended behaviour?

As far as I am aware, there has never been an alternate illustration of the Guards.

weeellll...in the old days, they started out as (normal) trees, you'd drink the potion and see them as they are today, then they'd disappear

nowadays, they are there in their true form from the beginning, then you drink the potion for help in battling them, then they disappear

maybe one day we'll have such illusions cast over all sorts of guards/NPCs

I do not have the artwork for their original forms. If @Muratus del Mur or another doth possess of these illustrations, then I will be able to restore their appearance.
