Issue with Bastok missions past Fetichism

[thyris]

In Bastok at rank 2, trading crystals to the guards does not increase rank, nor do they even accept them, neither does repeating the fetichism mission. I'm not sure what to do about this error, I'd like to find a way to fix the rank system so that when I release the server to the public players won't run into this issue. I searched the forum, but didn't see anything specific to this particular bug.

Is there anything I can do in the interim to continue to the next mission line?

Also, I'm not sure where to look for making adjustments to the rank system, but if someone could tell me what part of the code or database to look at I may be able to get it working properly for all of us.
