Sergeant Herla - They Won't Need It Anymore4. Got this to update whilst on another quest. It's cool to fly around the ruins, and you have to for the upstairs part, but because you're flying over mobs you don't want to fight, you're going to miss the ground triggers.It's currently extra misleading because after finding the first two objects, you're expecting a third, not something to spawn on you (though the different interactions makes it interesting).A suggestion: Use 3 ROIs instead of one big one for the ruins. For the clicky objects to find, these can still be broadish ROIs for searching. But for the mob spawn use a tight POI dot, so the player knows exactly where the update should be. If they're hovering over the spot and see nothing, most players will have the sense to land, if only to look closer. But at least they'll know their in the right place. My biggest problem was I was still having to search the entire ruins, not know where OR what I was after.5. When I got the spawn, there were mobs in the room already on roughly the same spot. I had engaged them for another quest. I honestly didn't notice the extra mobs appear and just saw the quest update afterwards. (I'm a small fae with flight buff on, giants are big, you don't see that much!) Might be better not to have normal mobs on the same spot as this quest spawn.6. Dialogue handing in the quest, makes out you didn't kill the giant and plant bosses, Jenluk and Thorncreep. But they're easy kills and I've taken them out for the loot both times I've been in the ruins now. So the story is rather inconsistent with the reality of what players will do.7. The quest summary then says "I was able to destroy the strong creatures" - but you aren't required to take out all three, the quest only has you kill one of them.8. Looks like the quests are giving a set of armour. The names aren't consistent though. My fury has "Corrupted Mist Panther Skin Cap" vs. "Mist Panther Skin Boots" which aren't "corrupted".Lieutenant Rockshatter - Plan of Attack1. Quest description reads a bit oddly, has sort of has "asking for a map of the ruins" in there twice. Commander Bludeye - Invasive Species1. I like the dialogue with this guy! In fact the same goes for lots of the NPCs I've picked up quests from so far. Some of them really have attitude. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />2. The priest reward 090_871_priest_primary_1h_crush_2 has no icon, no proper name, and no visible appearance.

Zone: The Withered LandsQuestgiver: Field Marshal VishraQuestname: Lost SoldiersTo add to previous post about this - wandering NPCs cannot be hailed by left-clicking. You have to target them then hit h to hail. Not sure if this is intended or a bug

Logistics Officer Solanis - Many Mouths to Feed5. Typo in quest summary "Solnais" should be "Solanis" Commander Bludeye - Invasive Species Removal 1. Typo in dialogue before quest: "I has expected as much"Researcher Silviss -Something Amiss1. Typo in dialogue before quest "Id like to see how they do their infection" - should be "I'd".2. The first quest step has the same text as a previous quest, and it doesn't fit here. "I need to enter K'val Ruins and destroy the strongest creatures I can find there". Copy 'n' paste error?3. The giant corpse gives errors about being too far away to click it, when you're standing right next to his top half, or even standing in him. The clickable range needs to be larger.4. When you click the spores, they don't despawn. They stay there, but you can't click them again.Researcher Grelga - Not As It May Seem1. Are the soil patches supposed to be under the berry bushes for Something Amiss? It sort of makes sense, but mayeb a little harder to click on.2. Grelga's Spade, the icon looks like a spear. Isn't there a spade icon that was used on the house items, or am I mis-remembering that?3. The water objects aren't despawning when clicked on. You just can't click on them again.4. As a side note, I like how these quest objects are fitted into the forest. It feels quite naturally placed.

Reseacher Drallvin - Mournful Baying1. Didn't find anything wrong but I liked the surprise when you turn the wolf in. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Researcher Grelga - Not As It May Seem, Again1. This is not flagged as repeatable in the quest journal, but looks like it should be?

Lief Tenderton - The Corruption Runs Deep 1. Typo in dialogue before quest, "discouraged to create new camps in those areas" - should be "from".2. Clicking the camps does not change their appearance or make them despawn. You can click them again, but it doesn't update again.3. When I clicked the 4th (last) camp, then I think I saw the graphic change. Is it the pots on the top breaking? The change is visually really minor! I'd expect the whole stone slab to break in two or something.Terit Tonhoof - Corruption Abound1. This quest auto-completed when I killed the last animal. Should it do that, without going back to the NPC to hand it in? The other repeatable quests so far don't.2. Comparing the repeatable quests, this one seems a good length, so does Invasive Species Removal. But Still More Mouths to Feed was a pain. It's more in depth which is nice once but not one I'd want to repeat. Not without a lot more beetles and berries all over the forest.3. Should it be "Corruption Abounds" for the quest title? I think that's the saying.Vadicus Entiri - Culling the Vicious1. I really like the "tiger-striped hides" description, making you look closely at the mobs. The forest is rather dark but you can see the difference. 2. The 1^ mobs for this quest are easier than the normal ones to kill. Seems like they have less hit points, because they burn down much faster. Don't seem to do any more damage either. Certainly don't require taking a group along as the NPC suggests, and with the quest labelled heroic as well.3. Dialgoue handing in the quest, this makes no sense: "It seems the raptors are starting to becoming out of control."strange looking satyr relic (drop) - Rotten Tenders1. On the item description it says level 75 for the quest.

Lief Tenderton - Withering Hope1. Dialogue before quest - I like how you say you can't tell the withered treants apart from the forest easily until they hit you - this really has happened to me quite a few times already! They're the aggro mob you're most likely to pull when flying through the area. Yesterday I was debating feedbacking that as an issue, but I've come to like the way they blend in. 2. The withering saplings don't update the quest. Not sure if they should, the name doesn't exactly match.Vadicus Entiri - Creating Chaos 1. No ROI for the caves.

Lief Tenderton - Ancient's Legacy 1. Hailing the ancient treant and seeing the dialogue is very difficult due to his size. Not sure there's any fix for it, but I was looking straight up vertically to see the chat text bubbles. Then I discovered I can stand on the nearby rock and still hail him - that works much better.

<cite>Soresha wrote:</cite><blockquote>Can I Keep It?1. CUUUTE!!! I love the animations and puppy sounds!2. I handed in the quest. The dialogue says you give the pup away, I wanted to keep it! But the dialogue says you don't. After the quest completed I then had a giant wolf spawn on me for no reason I can see(!) and I still have the pup following me.</blockquote>Same problem here. I did it twice and both times a giant wolf attacked.Sergent Herla - They won't need it anymoreIn the K'val ruins, at -3737, -718, -1099 I had to gather some kind of root called "a strange glowing root". The message when I clicked it was "collect orders": the second part was "orders" instead of "plant" or "vegetation".When I handed the quest out, I was a bit bothered by the dialog. I told Herka that I had found a particularly large plant creature who was "in charge" of the area and I had gathered a bit of a root. I didn't realise while in the room that there was a "very big plant" and that the root "was part of it" at all.Edit: went back to the area and there isn't any "big plant" anywhere. It may be a named that is not up, but if it is, there definatedly should be a big plant or something on the platform, some creeping thing with the named on top, well anything but a very big empty space.

Silnas - Seeding Hope1. I got the onscreen message about it being a good spot, then clicked the soil and got the error message for not being in the right place. It seems the area trigger for the announcement is larger than the clicky?2. After placing the soil the next step is to obtain insect carcasses and has a counter. But the big red sparkley is stll there and the onscreen message about being a good place to dump the carcasses comes up when you enter it. Isn't this happening a step too early?3. After getting the carcasses quest item, for the fourth step I return to the sanctuary. The red sparkle is no longer visible, though the onscreen message does come up again.4. After using the carcasses item, the mound changes to looking healthy and had a green sparkle on it. Not convinced it should be sparkling at this point? Or if this should appear for the next step for the saplings?5. The sapling still follows if you take off and fly back - very nice! I think previously quest following NPCs despawned doing that?I like this quest. Saving saplings. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Brint Thornwood - Tending to the Broken1. The broken stele fragment objects don't have a sparkle on them. Not sure if they should. They're not too hard to spot.Meat-stripped Skull (dropped item) - Picked Clean1. The skull item description gives the quest as level 75.2. This quest has a "not more insects!" feel to it. And then achieves nothing for all your inspecting. But bizarrely, it's actually a rather fun way of killing some extra mobs. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Bleur Blunderbur - Creating More Chaos / More Culling the Vicious1. These are not marked as repeatable in the quest journal, should they be? Or is it because they're labelled heroic and they can't be displayed as both?Vadicus Entiri - Multitudinous Extermination1. This quest is broken, can't get the large insect updates. I think they're in the wrong categories:The assaulter and sentry insects count as small, I'd expect them to be medium.The bombast which is paired with a little mulcher doesn't update any of the categories, I'd expect it to be large.The bombast on it's own updates as medium, again I'd expect it to be large.There is nothing I can find that updates the large category.The named boss doesn't update any of them.

Brint Thornwood - Removing the Corruption 1. Typo in dialogue with Aureon: "one of the protectors of this land which has become corrupted by its evil magics" - should be "who" or "whom".2. Another typo on Aureon: "corpse of the plants" - should be "corpses".3. Three minutes to get back to the NPC is doable but fairly tough. You need a moment to read and comprehend the instructions. Then I took the horse up to Sanctuary of Waning. I set the waypoint on the map POI and flew tight against the edge of the ravine, shortest flight path possible. I had 40 seconds left when I clicked on him. Also it continues counting down during the animation as he's cleansed and only stops the countdown when the step updates after the animation. So that costs you another 10 seconds. If you get knocked out of flight by a mob or the dragon debuff you've probably had it.4. Kerr respawns after a bit and you can then see him corrupted again. Not sure if you should see him here after this step? Or is he visible to all players all the time?Kerr Wanderroot - All You Need Is Time1. The ritual is awesome! So awesome I was going "wohoa!" and looking at it, and didn't engage the mobs attacking him! So he died. It's a little artifical having his corpse despawn then he reappears so you can try again, I don't know if they can knock him out or something less permanent?2. I hailed him and started the ritual again. The second time, I killed the mobs, the ritual finished. Kerr sat down and got up again and reset to his position at the shelter. But the quest step hasn't updated. There's not quest continuation/completion icons over him. If I hail him, I get a repeat of the earlier dialogue "I can't thank you enough for helping me escape that insanity".3. I tried deleting and re-taking the quest. But now the cleansing sequence won't start even once. I'm gated on this quest now.4. Left-clicking on Kerr does not result in a hail action. Something is up, you have the target and press "h" for hail to get his dialogue up, either at the start or during this quest. The only right-click menu option on him is to Assist.

Multitudinous Extermination - follow upIf you go into the insect caves and talk to the queen before completing steps in Multitudinous Extermination she will give you a quest to place spores.This is given out of order it and will break the questline it is in if you get it before you are supposed toIt should be after the quest Multitudinous Extermination to kill insects of different sizes when you hear the voice tell you to come see her. If you have already done the spore placing quest you will not update when you find the source of the voice.

Scout Master Kilkarn - A Helping Hand 1. Initial dialogue - "Do you need help getting back on your feet." - should that have a "?" at the end? 2. Also in initial dialogue - "such as skilled adventurer such as yourself" reads a bit odd. 3. Typo in quest description - "combine" should have a capital "C". 4. Typo on scout Kiosha initial dialogue - "way to dangerous" - should be "too". 5. The quest step calls the scout "Leluh" but the name on the NPC is "Lelah". 6. Typo in the quest step for "Aide Scout__Mayak" - has a double space in it. 7. I like how the scouts tell you you're killing the wrong mob, even when you just have to kill something that's in the way! 8. Scout Lelah's quest step wants "raptor hides". It doesn't specify which raptors. The scout dialogue says lurkers or hunters. But the quest won't accept the 1^ lurkers or scourers, only the corrupted raptors. I think if you want to kill the harder ones, their hides would be just as good. And there's more of them, and much easier to find being in one place. 9. At some point I lost Scout Lelah, I don't know how! Maybe flying around. Pretty sure she didn't die. Then I lost Scour Kiosha too, at the end of my second fight with a deer, she started running back to the caravan. I couldn't stop her. If I went into flying she despawned but when I land again she respawns and immediately starts running back again. Must have been what happened with Lelah too, they're resetting prematurely for some reason. Only thing you can do is go back to the caravan and get them again. Hope this isn't deliberate, because it's a fair distance and rather annoying! 10. Typo on scout Mayak initial dialogue "I am very week" - should be "weak". Scout Master Kilkarn - Wheel of Misfortune 1. Quest description: "The one guy said he might have stuff for me to do" - erm, placeholder text? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" /> 2. Searching around it took me ages to find the wheel in the ROI. Was getting a bit annoyed.3. More placeholder text in the quest summary! "I found some fun stuff to do and even got some loot." Ok own up, which of you devs is guilty this time? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" />4. I still have the "a repaired wagon wheel" item in my inventory after completing the quest.Some general feedback on ROIs in WIthered Lands:It seems the quest ROIs are all rather large in the zone, compared to previous content. My suspicion is you've pre-defined ROIs for each named mini region in the zone - like the K'val Ruins, or Queens Hive South, or Mourning Lowlands. Maybe the coders have written something to automatically generating these ROIs for you, hmm? They do hug the edges of the terrain very cleanly in each area.But this isn't working well for me as a player. By reusing a standard ROI you're saying "it's somewhere in this region". It's creating a broader region to search than in previous zones where the ROIs were drawn to match the quest specifically. It's fine for kill quests because you can find mobs more easily. But for clicky object searches it's proving a pain in the looking for an object in such a wide area.I'm not lazy, and I actually LIKE search quests within (my definition of) a reasonable area to cover. But these areas are too large. And the minor frustration from struggling with one quest wouldn't be so bad but it escalates as you work through the zone, and encounter the same minor frustration on successive quests. Leads to a general feeling of things taking longer than they should to find and some of the quests here being a little bit annoying. NB: I'm up to the Caravan camp quests at this point.I realise it's probably more work, but for the quests involving searching for objects, please consider going back and drawing ROIs which are a bit tighter to where the object/s will actually be found?

I had gone to Queen's Hive South yesterday, so that's the area these findings relate to. Today all the virulid bombast seem to update the medium category. Strange.2. The Queens' Hive South ROI is labelled for large and and medium, but I found no large there at all.3. I went to Queens Hive North today. The conqueror's are updating the step for large insects but the hive-guardians are not.4. I read the small, medium and large to be an indication of size. Therefore expecting the bombasts to update for large. However it seems "large" here mean "tougher, nastier" ie the 1^ harder mobs in Queens Hive North. Maybe this could be clarified in the quest step as "tougher" or something instead.5. Now on the step to locate the voice in my head - the queen won't talk to me when I try to hail her. I get nothing, can't progress the quest. Reading up what other people have said, I never got any quest from her previously for spores like they did. I found the queen today before reaching this step but she had nothing for me. So maybe that bug is fixed, and I've got a new bug?EDIT: *phew* insects are confusing!6. First there is no POI for the step to locate the voice in my head step.7. Talking to Adephala is difficult. I couldn't see a quest continuation icon on her due to her size, eventually found it was her from the feather on the map. I hailed her many times before I could get the dialogue to pop up. Trying to swing the camera up to see her and the dialogue results in swinging the camera under the terrain and looking at the ground from underneath.NB: Yes I'm a fae so I'm small. But I protested loudly during testing at the 50% shrink you forced on us for our flight form, and now guess what, I'm struggling to talk to massive treants and insect queens. Please find a way to make this a little easier on us!8. Ok so, during the dialogue with Adephala the next quest Good to be the Queen is offered. But I think problem is the "locate the source of the voice" step isn't being updated when you first hail her and therefore the Multi Ext quest isn't completing.

Adephala - Good to be the Queen 1. This quest has both an ROI for the Queen Hive North and individual POIs for the pod points - intended? 2. In the queen's dialogue and the quest description they're called spore pods. In the quest step, the cast bar when you click and the onscreen message however they're called scent pods. 3. The quest step says to put the pods around the TWO hive areas, but there are only 6 points in the North area, none in the South. It would make sense from the story perspective to put some more in the South area as well. When I initially looked at the map I thought "why aren't I treating the other area as well?" 4. Thank you for making it auto-complete, and not making me have to find my way back down the cave through the mobs to the queen again! Researcher Eruin - Calming the Angry 1. After accepting the quest, if you re-hail Eruin you get the same initial dialogue again. 2. There was no onscreen message like "Your attempt to calm the holgresh did not suceed!" When I used the spell item, I got some unintelligible dialogue from the holgresh forager but nothing else. I was puzzled for a moment because there was no feedback. So I just killed it anyway and then it updated. But all the onscreen message said was the step was completed. I think it just needs another message to convey the story and result when you use the item. Researcher Eruin - The Path to Peace 1. Continuing from handing in Calming the Angry, I got this quest offered at a dialogue point and read the description. It talks about fruit which Eruin hasn't mentioned yet. I then click through another dialogue and it's in the next section. This seems out of order. I deleted the quest and re-hailed Eruin, as if I'd stopped here. The same thing happens. He says "are you willing to try again" and you says "sure" and then you get offered the quest before he's explained what to do. Only when you accept the quest do you get the next dialogue about the fruit. So the quest is attached one node too early in the dialogue. 2. The spell item works fine, but then hailing for the next step doesn't work on holgresh forager or skycaller NPCs. It does work ok on warrior, encanter and fireflighter NPCs though. 3. If you don't follow through and talk to the NPC, cancel the dialogue option (or just back away) then return to the NPC, you can't get the dialogue back up again by hailing them. So you have to go find another NPC to start again. 4. If you don't follow through and talk to the NPC (or can't on some NPC types) the spell effect never wears off. I've created perma-mezzed holgresh throughout the zone, and they can't be killed off! 5. If you use the spell on an encounter of holgresh, eg there's a group of encanter, warrior, fireflinger, it doesn't work well at all. You can individually mez them with the spell, but you leave one or two unmezzed and they aggro.The free ones aggro then reset then reaggroing repearedly and you can't kill them. Then sometimes the mezzed ones try to assist and attack you momentary when the aggro one attacks, before quickly resetting again to mezzed.All this also leaves you stuck in combat.6. On completing the quest the popup window says Quest Description - not Summary. The text inside initially reads like the description (it's instructions of what to do) and then concludes with the outcome as well. a wounded soldier - Effects of a Personal Kind 1. Handing in the quest, the popup window here says Description. Shouldn't it be summary?

Lieutenant Washburn - Dispatching the Elders 1. Typo in initial dialogue - "We are going to go..." should be "aren't". 2. Problems with the mobs in the cave one-shotting me, but I put that in the zone feedback thread. Not going to try to complete this for now, dying repeatedly is too painful! Scout Master Kilkarn - Parched Scouts 1. If you stop after handing in Wheel of Misfortune, then re-hail him to get the next quest, you get a repeat of the previous dialogue when handing in that quest. This has you saying "Yes I have it here..." again, but you now don't have the wheel because you already gave it to him. 2. The barrel despawns after killing the holgresh heister that was on it. I found this a bit confusing. Normally if there's a green sparkly object you have to click on it. So after killing the mob I was like "huh? where did the barrel go? oh ok, it seems it's updated"This is extra confusing when, due to the mobs being in little clusters, you end up fighting several at once and the heister isn't the last to die. So you're still fighting on whilst the barrel despawns.3. No POIs for the dehydrated scouts. Ok they're right next to you, but still!4. The dehydrated scouts switch to refreshed, and then after a few moments respawn as dehydrated again. You can then re-use one scout a second time for the quest, which doesn't make much sense for the story. Once someone has watered each scout, can you not leave him permanently as a refreshed scout for that player to see from then on?5. Handing in the quest the popup window says description not summary again, and the text is both instructions (not in past tense) and then the result. I'm starting to doubt myself but this seems odd compared to the normal style?

Vadicus Entiri - Multitudinous Extermination1 - Had to ask always-helpfull Soresja to find the update for large mobs.At first I roamed the whole hive without finding the northern part. Then I realised that there were 2 blue areas on the map. Couldn't find how to access to the second part from the outside so backtracked and found the underground way through the hive.I started killing everything in sight and went here to check what other people said. I saw Sor post and thought "ok, it's the ^ mobs". Killed everything, ran around in circles and then let it drop and asked in chat.Soresja told me "the corruptors work, up in the sky"... And then I finally looked UP and found the mobs. I had killed everything in sight but never once did I saw those mobs. Even after AEing just below them, I never aggroed one.It definatedly needs changing. At least put those mobs closer to the ground!2 - I have no clue at what means "investigate the insect area around the hive" but I see a book icon on my map for the queen which seems weird as I haven't heard a thing yet.3 - we shouldn't be able to speak to the queen before being on this step imo.There is no POI for her to locate the voices in my head.4 - "voices in my head" part doesn't update. I'm going to skip "Good to be the queen" and wait to see if it gets fixed.Orienteering BadgeI like this quest, I wondered what the badges were leading too, now I know. I tell the combine NPC that I had found a corpse but hadn't seen any other corpse which is false: I did found the skeletons sparkling in the hive.(starting loc is -2860, -532, -1193 )

Captain Haliran - Holgresh See1. First encounter of 3 holgresh only updated as Defeat attacking holgresh 1/6. I didn't get credit for the other two mobs. Might possibly have been because the other guard came it to help too? This only happened once, after that I got all the credits for them.2. The guards are too close together, or maybe shouldn't trigger if another already has. Because when I triggered one guard, I triggered another at the same time. Ended up with 2x groups of 3 holgresh which is probably a bit much for some classes.3. After completing the quest step, I'm on the quest step to report back. But approaching another guard triggered another fight again.4. Again when handing in the popup window says description not summary. Or am I going crazy now?Captain Haliran - Holgresh Do 1. Dialogue before quest, "what we used to signal we needed help" - should be "use" and "need".2. The dialogue is telling you to go help the fight trying to push through the pass. The quest description then tells you to hunt warpriests and stick their heads on pikes - this makes no sense at this point in the quest, it's like a spoiler for what is to come.3. The quest has a tiny ROI for finding the caravan which looks odd because it's small, semi-transparent and faint. Maybe it should be a larger area, or if you want to pinpoint the location a POI dot would be better here.4. There's no ROI for the warpriests or the treants.5. After placing the fourth pike, all four of them despawned again. Also one of the green sparklies was still visible at -843.46, -667.80, -571.27.6. The pikes look like flaming torch things, sorry for being picky but they don't have skulls on them as per the quest.7. Completing the quest, the popup window says description again.8. Typo in the completion text: "and to placed their heads on pikes" Scout Master Kilkarn - Safety in Numbers1. Holgresh foragers in the ROI aren't updating the counter, though attackers and fireflingers are. 2. I got the area trigger for being in the right place, and then used the flare item on that spot. When you use the item for the flares, the quest immediately updates and the caravan and NPCs spawn at the same time as the flare is seen going up. Can you add a delay to this? Or better have them actually come running down the pass to you.3. The caravan spawned on the same spot as the quest update location, where I was standing. I was then trapped, stuck under the caravan object! Had to get a CoV out of there.My poor little fae, squashed under a caravan! We had a plan, they were supposed to come running down the pass, not fall from the sky on my head! After going to all that trouble to help them, that wasn't very nice. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> 4. What spawns is the caravan, the scout master and captain. Where are the other three scouts now?5. Typo in dialogue on Captain Haliran at then end "while giving us aide" - should be "aid". (I didn't give them a person!)6. Again the popup window completing the quest say description not summary.

Researcher Deros - Interesting Discoveries1. He says you're not supposed to kill them. I couldn't see a way to do this without aggroing them, and you drop invis trying to click them. I did it by using a tank merc to hold aggro on them whilst I clicked the objects, then running away.2. When you get back there's nothing in the dialogue about whether you killed any of them or not. Though the amount of gold given was quite high (62g).Researcher Deros - Wispy Winds of Change1. No ROI for the wisps back in the forest.2. The first quest step, once completed, updates to placeholder text: "I did some stuff!" Researcher Deros - Turning Point 1. The dialogue has you offering to get something from the corrupted satyrs. The quest description then says Deros asked you to get a budling from them, but there's no mention of a budling at all in the dialogue. He could perhaps suggest that as what to get?2. The budlings weren't easy to find. A more precise ROI would help here.3. I used the tender on a budling, and the quest step flashed in the tracker window. It attacked me. But nothing else happened. I killed it and still no update. Quest seems broken.

Totemic Reinforcement: (Crafting quest)On top of the 4th clickie spot not popping for totem placement, gating all crafters working on these quests, I found a new bug.Someone else was there working on the first three totem placement points -- and I could see ZERO placement points for a couple minutes after she placed the first three. I knew exactly where they were from earlier reps of the quest, but the small rocks to click didn't spawn without considerable lag. Am wondering if there's some timer going on that shouldn't be there.

a strange spirit - ???1. The spirit has no quest feather icon. I just happened to spot it and try hailing it.2. In the dialogue, when you first click on "Where are the pieces of your spirit then?" you then get the same dialogue repeated once more.3. It doesn't actually give you a quest, I'm assuming it should, with ROIs and the info in the dialogue?strange partially digested bones - Dramatic Satyr1. Somehow I managed to loot a second of the quest starting items, after I'd started the quest. Should that happen?2. I *think* it was this quest but ack, I can't remember for certain now. You don't get updates off every mob. The step flashes in the quest tracker window, but you don't get the usual onscreen message to tell you "no items found". So it's a little confusing why it doens't update.Leiutenant Silthiria - Not Quite There1. Initial dialogue says the cart is shattered, but the graphic is a very intact looking cart.2. Typo in quest description "Once of the caravans" - should be "One".3. Killing marsh elementals isn't updating the first step of the quest. Seems broken.4. Typo in the NPC name - should be "Lieutenant".Right Place, Right Time1. Typo in quest description - "stela" should be "stele".2. The popup window for completing the quest says description not summary (Am I going crazy about seeing this? But other testers are saying it should be summary at the end too.) Elder Kionn - Spell Flingers1. The quest doesn't tell you to get the books from the fireflingers, and the other holgresh don't update the quest. The quest title only hints at the fireflingers being involved.2. Sometimes you kill a fireflinger and the quest step flashes in the tracker but you don't get an update. If it's not given on every mob, then normally you'd get an onscreen message saying "no items found", but there isn't one. This is a bit confusing.3. I'm in the pass for this quest, and the water barrels have the green sparkly on them again. This makes no sense, I already completed and turned in the quest to get those. Don't know if it's linked to this quest or not, but I didn't notice it happening when here earlier.

Elder Kionn - Alligator Skin Bag1. The dialogue with Caleuh says "swamps stalkers" (typo?) to cut their numbers (initial and at end), The quest text (begining and end) says alligators for their teeth - these don't match.2. The actual mobs are called marsh stalkers - which matches neither the quest step text or the dialogue with Caleuh.3. Handing in the popup window says quest description not summary again.Queen Caleuh - Weakened Budling1. Typo in dialogue before quest: "When Is aw them i nthe swamp" - should be "I saw".2. This quest and some of the previous ones, it feels the quest window pops up to accept it too early in the dialogue. The NPC doesn't continue explaining what to do until after you've accepted it. So you read the description of what the NPC said (past tense) in the quest window prior to the NPC actually having said it. This just feels wrong and out of order. Moving the quest window popping up to the subsequent dialogue node would probably fix a lot of them.3. The quest step doesn't give any instructions on how to save them, but Caleuh said I'm supposed to bring them back. This is a bit confusing. It doesn't feel right to attack them (though I did and worked it out from what happened). There needs to be explicit instructions to weaken them first so they'll follow you.4. The dialogue with Caleuh talks about how they're in groups and you can't save them all, and you'll end up killing some. But the NPCs aren't in encounters, they're single. So this doesn't match. I didn't kill any.5. Awesome! The corrupted silfaye fly after you when you fly back! I love that. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Queen Caleuh - A Stone's Throw 1. In the dialogue before the quest, this doesn't read very well "If you can get them from them and bring them to me".2. The ROI for this quest isn't very helpful, covering the whole swamp when the stonehorders are in a few places on the side.3. Killing the corrupted stonehorders doens't update the quest. Doesn't even make the step flash in the quest tracker so it's not just that it doesn't update on every mob. Quest seems to be broken.

Surveyor Gredaina - From Under Our Noses1. Returning to Gredania to hand in the quest, she doesn't have a quest completion icon over her. Captain Val'kirr - No Word From Above1. Ta'lur talks about "this orb" being damaged, as if it should be right in front of him. But I don't see anything that looks like a communication orb on the platform with him.Emissary Ta'lur - Unexpected Weather1. Typo in dialogue before quest: "we can afford to lose anyone" - should be "can't".2. The quest description says he's asked me to rescue the farmers, and it's one of the steps. But this wasn't anywhere in the dialogue.3. It would be nice if the four farmers didn't all say exactly the same thing when hailed, and your response too. Sometimes in these quests you get a couple of different responses.4. There aren't many storm elementals, only 10 across the two areas? The quest requires 8. I was the only person here and cleared out one area, then moved to the other. When I was done only 1 had respawned in the first area. Emissary Ta'lur - Plan of Action 1. Typo in dialogue before quest "energy we can use to power the orb," - ends in a comma not a full stop (and I've forgotten what you Americans call that?)2. There are cloud progenitor clickies in the area with the storm elementals close to Alivan, but this isn't covered by the ROI.3. The priest quest reward is Mist Panther Skin Cap. This has lower stats than the Corrupted Mist Panther Skin Cap I got from a quest near the start of the zone. It makes sense to replace a corrupted one, so maybe the stats are the wrong way around?Overseer Vrek - Pay For Their Crime1. The reward for this is 090_871_priest_primary_1h_crush_2. But I already have this weapon from somewhere else in Withered Lands - a previous quest I think.2. Having trouble with these mobs again, like the elders they're destroying me with Totemic Decimation. And this is marked as a solo quest, not heroic.Keeper Orlis - Scattered to the Wind1. There aren't very many pages, when you need 8 of them. I cleared out both areas and then was going back and waiting for respawns.2. Typos in the book The Founding of AlivanPage 1: "The time I spent working.... have shown me" - should be "has"Page 1: "Calws of Vesheen" at the bottomThere's a mix of whether the class name is capitalized or not on each page.3. I do like the book text. Especially the rogue calling him "Kerawhatzit"!a strange seed (clicky object) - Salvage Mission1. You can click the same seed repeatedly for all the updates. They don't despawn.2. Toiler Feera doesn't have a quest completion icon over her.

Captain Val'Kirr - The Call Home 1. In the quest summary on completion, it calls it a brief conversation. I wouldn't call it brief! That's underrating it.2. The dialogue with Nevedaria is great, well written. Explains the source of the corruption and Vyskudra. Though it doesn't address whether the corruption can be lifted. I could understand her saying no, but you don't even ask. I don't think after coming so far you'd just express surprise and then let it go.All the way through Withered Lands that's been the objective in many of the quests. It's even in the patch notes to describe the GU: "Save the forest from corruption, aid the armies of Norrath in reaching Skyshrine, explore the intrigues of dragon kind and save their embattled city!" So we're on two missions - to get the New Combine through to Skyshrine and to fight the corruption. 3. The dialogue has you saying you "helped to drive back the corruption" - which is accurate, we haven't removed it. But then Nevedaria says "You cleared the forest barrier??" - which to me makes it sound like we got rid of it all.Surveyor Gredaina - Still Under Our Noses1. Like the first version of this quest, there's no quest completion icon on Gredaina when you return to hand the quest in. Toiler Killrey - Out of Our Cold, Dead... Ok there is an ROI, I guess I couldn't see it under the swamp ROI for other stuff. My mistake earlier.3. Should Thunderlash give AA xp? He's not very tough but is a named creature.4. Returning to Killrey you go through the dialogue, but the quest doesn't update and complete. The dialogue just runs out.Researcher Coroy - Some (More) for Study Didn't find any glitches, but I like the tone in the dialogue with this NPC. And the repeat quest dialogue really made me laugh! "And you want me to head back out into the swamp with the stormwings, and elementals, and crocodiles, and who-knows-what-else that wants to eat me, right?"

Commander Selgrat - No One Left Behind2. The dialogue on the Combines Soldiers has the signature style appearance with a green background. But this isn't a signature quest. 3. Your reply to the soldiers is grammatically incorrect and reads oddly: "You need to make your way back to Alivan. She is expecting you". That makes Alivan a "she". Should be "The commander is expecting you". 4. As mentioned above, the soldiers don't update for me either after the dialogue with them. Quest is broken. Researcher Wedinn -Repellant1. In the dialogue before the quest you say "All right, I'm listening. What are you thinking?" twice in succession.2. He says the tearweed sprouts are here the village in the dialogue, but they seem to be across the entire swamp.3. Found some sprout objects, which have the mouseover popup but nothing happens when you click it. Can't progress the quest. Devotee Zaak'an - Beacon of Hope 1. Typo in dialogue before quest: "There is a small nook in teh valley" 2. The rock for placing the beacon doesn't have a sparkly effect on it. There is a precise POI, but probably should have a visual aid.3.The green glow on the placed beacon switches on and off very sharply when you rotate your camera or move around the area.4. The sabatogers that spawn are fine, don't seem to have the nasty one-shotting Totemic Destruction on them.5. Killing the mobs that spawn when you place the beacon did not update the quest. Can't progress it.5. Typo in the quest step and on the NPC names: "sabatoger" should be "sabotager". Devotee Sa'kala - Ritual Sacrifice 1. In the dialogue and the quest text it's called Valley of Dragon Bones. But on the map the region is called Valley of the Fallen (which frankly sounds much nicer!) This is potentially confusing. 2. Not getting fetishes from despoilers, savagists, soothseer, luminary, skyrender. Looks like they're just not dropping.EDIT:3. They are dropping from the elder holgresh in the caves. This doesn't seem right, the quest is about the holgresh in the Valley of the Fallen.I managed to get 3/12 before I got one-shotted by Totemic Destruction again /sigh.Overseer Vrek - Pay (Dearly) For Their Crime 3. Returning to Vrek, there's no quest completion icon on him, for either of the quests. 4. Why is this guy upset about disturbing the remains of both dragons? Rolandal was one of the Claws of Vesheen and to be mourned, but if Hechaeva was a child of Vyskudra and aligned with the Awakened, then s/he was an enemy.5. The dialogue implies the second quest is repeatable, but it's not being offered again after completing it once. Is this because it's once per day? I know in DoV beta the repeatable quests didn't have the time delay set, so maybe it was taken off the other repeatable quests in Withered Lands for testing but not this one? Just making guesses here.6. The second quest isn't marked as repeatable, but it implies it is.

Not sure if this is the right area to post this. The Skyshrine Beta Buffing Bauble needs to be Lore because people are buying them up then posting them on the broker for 1 to 70 plat.

Scout Master Kilkarn - Wheel of Misfortune1/ Had a sheer stroke of luck and found the wheel pretty fast. It may need a bit more sparkles around it, there are some but it's pretty well hidden and not really looking like a wheel.2/ The treant parts are chest drop, in treasured chests and are lore. I think it should be a body drop and not lore. I had a bad RNG dropping the branch and left behind me a trail of treasured chests with a lore/no-trade item in them, it was a bit frustrating.3/ There isn't a woodworking table anymore at the entrance of the zone where the POI is. No table in the grotto either.

Stormwing whelp pet is fighting?!My lovely stormwing pet has been accompanying me everywhere, and she's joining in the fights. Cool as this is, I thought it's supposed to be a non-combat pet?I can't control her from the pet window, it says "No Pet". When I target her, she's showing as a level 90 2-down. If I try to heal her, it says "target not grouped". But she's doing 5-6k slashing damage! She doesn't attack every mob I engage reilably, sometimes she ignores the fighting, so not sure what exactly is pulling her into combat. I know this has got to be a bug, and you're going to take it away, but oh my, what a fun bug while it lasts! I have a combat dragon pet! <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Orienteering Badge(Thanks Whil for getting me started on this one!)1. The ROI is totally misleading because it directs you to search the area outside the south hive. The skeletons are inside the hive.2. The skeletons don't despawn or at least lose the green sparkley when you click them. When you're half lost in the tunnels, you end up trying to click the same one again.Devotee Sa'kala - Ritual Sacrifice3. After completing this quest, rehailing Sa'kala gives a repeat of the same dialogue when handing it in. I suspect he should be giving the following repeatable quest.4. If he should be giving the repeatable quest, he doesn't have a feather icon for it either. Frightening Effigies1. This quest is weird, you don't actually place the effigies yourself. I expected the usual mechanic of a sparkly spot on the ground, click it, and then the object appears and the quest counter updates. Instead its a proximity update, and it does it for you. At first I thought it had bugged out or something.2. There is also no visual indication on the ground of where to go to place them. You're flying behind with literally only a waypoint to the POI to get you onto the right spot for the quest to trigger. 3. As Whil says, no ROI for the holgresh for the second step.

Phaerus Thunderstorm - quest after Clearing the brush (tradeksills)I took the quest "Clearing the brush" when I arrived in the area without realising it was a tradeskill quest. I then gathered the brush, turn in the quest and the got offered the next one and saw it was a TS quest. As I wanted to do those later, I refused it... But the NPC is not giving it anymore so I can't take it back.

Sanctuary of TearsQuest: Right Place, Right TimeGiven upon first approaching Elder Kionn and two concerned satyrs. First step of the quest is to listen to the conversation between them. However, only the dialogue from the concerned satyrs is present. Elder Kionn is missing ALL of his dialogue. After the conversation, he does offer to finish the quest however.Also, I have run across multiple quests offering the same rewards. At New Combine Foothold, quest: Invasive Species (level 90) given by Commander Bludeye gives the same reward asLocation: Alivan, quest: Pay for Thier Crime (level 93) given by Overseer Vrek. Im sure that a quest given when first entering the Withered Lands shouldnt have the same rewards as one at the very back of the same zone. Item in question is a Legendary Dagger (mage reward) if that matters.

Queen Caleuh - Weakened Budling & Researcher Desos - Turning PointI had no problems finding about having to "kill" the budlings first as I was on the Turning point quest which made them aggro. It still feels weird to have to kill them first, the text of the quest should be more explicit.It seems tehre is a weird interraction between those 2 quests. Here is what happened to me:- use budling tender on a budling -> budling aggroes -> kill it -> speak to budling NPC and bring it back (Weakened budling update #1)- use budling tender on a budling -> budling aggroes -> kill it -> speak to budling NPC and bring it back (Weakened budling update #2)- use budling tender on a budling -> budling aggroes -> kill it -> no NPC spawning, nothing happends- use budling tender on a budling -> budling aggroes -> kill it -> no NPC spawning BUT Turning Point updates- kill a budling -> speak to budling NPC and bring it back (Weakened budling update #3)I was able to turn the quest in to the Queen.Researcher Desos had only a feather above his head and not a book. He gave me next quest in line but never updated the previous one (if somebody could come around and ding it for my poor Leucosia self...)Sanctuary of Tears general feedbackOk, so, on our way there we had to backtrack to kill treants.Then kill whisps at the entrance of the zoneThen kill corrupted tenders by sanctuary of mourningAnd now I must go to K'val ruins <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />It's a bit frustrating to have to cross the whole zone on every new quest <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Second feedback is: the marshes are confusing.

Quest: A Voice in the Forest. There is needless confusion here because the quest wants you to talk to Silnis (with an I) at the Sanctuary of Mourning and everybody (including me) tries to talk to Silnas (with an A) at the Sanctuary of Waning. Silnis is nowhere to be found at the Sanctuary of Mourning. Making two NPCs with nearly identical names is really sloppy.Quest: The Ultimate Sacrifice. Can't enter the instance (I presume it's an instance). Client stalls at 'Waiting for Zone Server.' If I disconnect and come back in, I'm still in the Withering Lands. This is different from every other case of this stall that I have seen in that zoning did not happen. When I log back in, I get the error message "That zone is currently unavailable." There is a variable delay before the message appears. In one case it posted to the chat window almost immediately after logging in. In another case, it didn't appear for almost a minute. Very odd.

The following issues should be addressed next update:In Search of Satyr - The satyrs around the Sanctuary of Mourning should spawn more reliably.Multitudinous Extermination - Should update correctly and have a correct ROI for the source of the voice in your head.Wheel of Misfortune - This quest should more reliably drop the treant pieces to repair the wheel and you can no longer complete the quest out of order.Turning Point - This quest should no longer become gated for those who were able to get the next quest in the series. Return to Researcher Deros if you got hit with this bug and he should be able to complete it for you.The Voice in the Forest - You can now speak to Silnas to complete this quest within the Sanctuary of Waning.Also, we found the issue with the zone in for "Ultimate Sacrifice" however it will require a full art build for this to be fixed which is scheduled for this coming monday.

Yes, it's not safe, but it's not "impossible" either. I did have -one- death going from one side of the zone to the other, but it shouldn't be impossible for someone who is really looking. I had that death early on when I could have been flying (and thus should not have had it at all). I revived further along the path than I died (to a safe spot in front of the ruins).Any 90 tradeskiller, no matter adventure level, can have a flying mount. It is possible to get through from one end to the other without dying on a low adventure level, but not 'safe' or easy.I'll copy my 90 sage that's even lower in adventure level and give it a go with her as another proof.I was going to harvest with my carpie but forgot he hasn't maxed that yet. I didn't want to use a brawler for my non-90 harvesting, but I'll copy my 90 provie that's finished the harvest quest.

Elder Kionn - Gathering of the Elders Found some of the same things as Whil said above. Also:1. No ROI for the swamp. I'd agree it doesn't warrant individual POIs but should have the standard swamp one here?2. The Elders don't actually move after saying he'll head there right away. Should they start walking or something?3. Typo in the dialogue when handing in: "As a reward for helping us in readying ourselves for this very important task. I would like you to be witness ..." The full stop after "task" should be a comma because the sentence isn't complete.4. The quest completed. But dialogue continues and says to place your hand on the ritual stone. There is no new quest given to me however, should there be one before the zone in? If you stopped at this point, missing or forgetting the instruction in the dialogue to click the stone, you'd not know there was anything more to do.5. Clicking the ritual stone object the cast bar says "Examine", not "place hands". And all you get is a chat message "This stone can channel magical energy when tuned to an object". Nothing happens.6. Re-hailing Kionn doesn't give you any new or repeated dialogue to help you either.7. Ok I finally worked out it's an option on the right-click menu, gah! This is really not intuitive, can it not replace the default left-click action at this point? And over a quest, or maybe put a quest icon over the stone, or something?(Stuck waiting for patch for zone-in now.)

What fun!There are only 11 (Plus the instance otehrs have talked about) that still have problems which prevent me from completing:I Want All of Them! - Pups don't follow.Not As It May Seem, Again - Researcher Grelga doesn't have a book and won't give update.Orienteering Badge - I have ROIs on my map, but there's nothing there.The Road Less Travelled - I'm supposed to talk with Elder Kionn, but he doesn't update.Beacon of Hope -Beacon working - no update after sabatogers killed.No one Left Behind - Soldiers have books above their heads, but don't update.Out of Our Cold, Dead... - Thunderlash won't spawn.Repellant - Tearwood spawns are unclickable.Some More for Study - Eggs are not clickable. New ROI after last night's update points me back to the NPC even though I haven't collected the eggs. NPC doesn't update.Strange Motivations - Researcher Verisa has a book above his head, but doesn't give update. Quest text says, "I need to tell that guy that I did stuff."The Second You Observe Something... - Found the spot to release the bug, but no update. Text says, "Release the capture teralid, and observe" - missing a .?Thank you for all the great work you're doing!!

Yes, it's not safe, but it's not "impossible" either. I did have -one- death going from one side of the zone to the other, but it shouldn't be impossible for someone who is really looking. I had that death early on when I could have been flying (and thus should not have had it at all). I revived further along the path than I died (to a safe spot in front of the ruins).Any 90 tradeskiller, no matter adventure level, can have a flying mount. It is possible to get through from one end to the other without dying on a low adventure level, but not 'safe' or easy.I'll copy my 90 sage that's even lower in adventure level and give it a go with her as another proof.I was going to harvest with my carpie but forgot he hasn't maxed that yet. I didn't want to use a brawler for my non-90 harvesting, but I'll copy my 90 provie that's finished the harvest quest.</blockquote>It can be done, I agree. Keep in mind that on Test_Copy, there's tons of players around. I was never able on Test to cross the Holgresh canyon without getting aggroed 3 or 4 times. Yes, TSers can fly BUT the "skies are not safe" so they may die because of flying too. I always liked the quest in Fens for the caches, but there are only a couple of points where you really have to dodge mobs, there's a lot of safe ways. In Withered Lands it's not the same and I think crossing the whole zone is a fair bit too much.

Researcher Grelga - Not As It May Seem, AgainStill buggedBrint - Tending to the brokenReturning the broken fragments to the Protectors of Growth is weird. I would have thought actuallyspeaking to one would be required, or at least dumping the fragments on the spot. Just crossing the area and having the quest update is strange.Leif Tenderton - The road less travelledNo ROI for "the holgresh valley" (it's the first time we're sent to the north of the sanctuary of mourning in the timeline).

Researcher Dreldin - The Second You Observe Something 1. Typo in dialogue before quest: "To run most effectively, They..." (shouldn't be capitalised) 2. The quest only says to release the beetle, the item says in the right area. Nowhere does it tell you to target an insect mob and then use the item - this is unintuitive. At first I was just trying to use the item within the ROI and that doesn't work. I figured it out from the error message about not having a target.3. The freed beetle spawns as a grey level 1.4. The rogue hive mobs attacked me, not the beetle5. I died, flew back and the freed beetle was still there. The item isn't clickable. I killed the freed beetle and that reset the item. But someone else might not realise their freed beetle was still up, or might not go back to the same place and not see it. Then you'd be very confused.6. Second attempt got the same level 1 freed beetle and the targetted mob attacked me. Killed it, but the quest isn't updating. I suspect it's supposed to fight the freed beetle, but doesn't because it spawns at the wrong level?

Dialog before getting the quest: Invasive Species RemovalFrom: Commander BludeyeHis Dialog: Exactly. I've heard the creatures are crawling back through the halls of the ruins, andI thought you might want to get your hands dirty again for us. What do you think?First choice: I has expected as much. So, just take down whatever I find, I imagine?Should be: I have expected as much. So, Just take down whatever I find, I imagine?

Researcher Verisa - Strange Movitations 1. Typo in quest description: "She wants to know ... " is missing "is" out of the sentence. 2. Took me ages to find the body for the "other evidence" in the 2nd step. The sparkley effect on it is too small to be seen, at first I thought it didn't have one. After I spotted it, when I went right up to click it, then I could just see the sparkle. 3. The 2nd quest step does indeed have placeholder text again. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />4. Quest doesn't complete, you get the closing dialogue but the second step doesn't update at any point. HexapolaShe has a quest completion icon on her, visible on my map. I cannot work out why, or see any current quest related to her. I went down there and tried hailing her and nothing happened.

Researcher Deros - A Storm of Corruption 1. Typo in dialogue before quest: "one of the silfaye are in need of help" - should be "is in need".2. This is another case of the quest being offered too early in the dialogue. It's been happening a lot in WIthered Lands. You get the quest description to read before the NPC has finished telling you about it.3. Also this NPC doesn't tell you what the silfaye wants, you don't find out until you go to her. So putting it all in the quest description rather ruins the discovery of the story, as it plays out. The quest description really doesn't need any more than "a silfaye needs help investigating the strange weather" as a lead in.4. Typo in dialogue on Lopa: "If you don't want to share details" - should be "the details".5. Typo in 3rd quest step once updated: "Sactuary".6. The weather changes and spell are very cool.The shout from Vyskudra might be missed, would be useful to have it in an onscreen message as well. I don't remember seeing one.7. It's a bit odd that the silfaye doesn't say anything about what happened you after the dragon and the storm returning. There's nothing, not even if you re-hail her.8. Typos in the quest summary on completion:It's in the wrong tense. "A silfaye has stated" and "She has asked" - should remove the "has" from these.Then "With this device believed he would be able" - "she believed SHE would be able" perhaps?"his druziac magic" - "her"9. Love the dialogue option "You enjoy that, I am off to go check out that dragon!" haha.10. This is a really great quest. But if you've done the end of the main quest line first (like I did) it doesn't make sense. For me, Nevedaria has already dealt with Vyskudra and so starting this quest and having the perma-rain start up is like going back in time.Also it's confusing if you already know about Vyskudra, because the silfaye isn't quite right - she's not a dragon of Skyshrine. And the storm is not linked to the corruption. And by the time I did this quest, I already know this.Could you add this quest into the chain for the main line? I know it's on a Deepwater Cirlce guy, but still? Make it so you have to do this one first, somewhere before completing the final quest with Nevedaria. It's a good quest! No reason not to do it.11. OMG... am I perma-cursed with this storm?? It's not going away after I finished the quest. And if it goes when you talk to Nevedaria - well yeah I already did that.

Emissary Ta'lur - No word from above, Unexpected Weather & Plan of ActionThe emissary is lacking a completed book over his head and only shows a feather on all his quests so far. The three quests updated just fine.Keeper Orlis - Scattered to the windI think I only found 7 pages and got last one on the repop.

Researcher Deros - Of Mud and Muck 1. I got all 4(?) updates for the samples in the second quest step off the same marsh elemental. Retook the quest and same thing happened. Repeated a third time, same thing again.First quest step - when it completes, the first sample (will) for the second quest step flashes in the quest tracker window.Second quest step - kill a marsh elemental, and if I get no updates, the "you don't find any quest items" onscreen message comes up 4 times. This happened 3 or 4 times.Then I kill an marsh elemental and get all 4 samples update at once again, with the 4 onscreen messages for them. 2.No POI to return to Deros on the fourth quest step.3. Deros has no quest completion icon when you return to him.Researcher Deros - Mud Masque1. There might not be enough mud goo things (I've forgotten the exact name), or maybe they don't respawn fast enough. I was flying round the swamp for a good while checking and rechecking the buds to find 8. I could be wrong, but felt like I was waiting for them to respawn. And I don't think anyone else was around at the time - could be slow with more people doing it at once.2. No POI to return to Deros for the second step.3. Typo in quest summary on completion: "I__disposed of the goo." has a double space in it.Dramatic SatyrThe dropped item to start the quest, strange partially-digested bones, dropped for me again. I clicked it to get the quest but got the error message "You have already completed the Quest "Dramatic Satyr". Since the quest isn't repeatable, and the item is no-trade, should it be dropping again? Or is it meant to be repeatable like the once for the insects?

Tracker Morin - Manpower Mishap 1. I already saw the scout's bodies over the last few days. Maybe they shouldn't be visible to people not on this quest? 2. First step - Mayak updated when within close range of the corpse. But second step - Leluh isn't updating, despite running over her corpse a few times. Quest seems broken.

I updated the dialog and quest text on this one heavily, because it was referencing a quest idea I had before I changed it. It’s more accurate now.</div></li><li><div>Changed the beetles needed for Many Mouths to Feed to have their default action be “gather”, so you no longer have to right-click them to make them work. Is anyone else having difficulty finding the spawns needed for this quest? </div></li><li><div>Upped the clickable range for the giant needed for Something Amiss. Also, the spores now poof when you click on them as intended.</div></li><li><div>Soil patches for Not As It May Seem are no longer in the same place as the berries for Something Amiss. Also, the water objects disappear when you click on them. Not As It May Seem Again should be properly repeatable and should turn in properly now.</div></li><li><div>Researcher Alleng should no longer talk to you in Di’Zokian. Where did she learn that, anyway?</div></li><li><div>Not Quite There should update and complete properly now.</div></li><li><div>Out of our Cold, Dead… okay, I fixed a couple of things here. Killrey should update the quest properly. However, I got reports of Thunderlash not spawning or spawning in the wrong ROI… I’m not seeing that. He spawned fine for me and where I intended him to.

I'm not sure how many players multi-box but I'm speaking for all those who have a headache and are in a grumpy mood: Plan of Action, From Under Our Noses and Interesting Discoveries are not group updating quests and, though they may be doing Plan of Action because someone told them they needed it so not to get knocked a$$ over teakettle when flying the other two will never get done.Plan of Action is going to be very very interesting to hear about when it hits live servers. I'd really recommend you guys take a look at number/rate of the spawn for the storm cloud progenitors.

Plan of ActionI remember when I did this, I wasn't really sure what "storm cloud progenitors" were. Didn't know what I was looking for, a mob or object or what. I happened to stumble over the ground clickies. Now someone in game just asked about them, he didn't know what he was looking for either. So it's not just me. Something in the dialogue and repeated in the quest step to explain it better would help.Researcher Verisa - Strange Movitations Typo in quest summary upon completion: "overthrow or enslave the trip from Holgresh Pass" - should be "tribe". Researcher Dreldin - The Second You Observe Something1. Typo in quest description, calls the NPC "Deldin".2. Could use an onscreen message or some other way of explaining what's happening from the story perspective. You spawn the freed beetle and it attacks you, but nothing to say why or what you're supposed to do next. Something like "the beetle turns on you!" instead of it just happening. Because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be fighting it or luring it to the other beetles or what. I killed it, then the step updates, so then you think "oh ok, guess that was right then".3. Same typo in quest summary on completion, calls the NPC "Deldin".4. The "a captured teralid" item is not removed from your inventory - should probably be after completing the step to kill it, but I've handed in the quest and still have it.Armsmaster Veyx - Some Good From This1. The "virulid acid" item description says in the Hive of the Queen. But the quest happens in the Hive of the Rogue.2. Veyx is not recognising you're on the second step when you return to him. No quest completion icon on him, and on hailing you get dialogue implying you've not gotten the materials yet. Commander Selgrat - No One Left Behind The quest counter updates and the soldier starts running off after you click the option on his first dialogue node. But there's a subsequent dialogue node with more text to read and another option to click. I didn't have time to read it or click it. I think the update is firing a step too early in the dialogue.Devotee Zaak'an - Beacon of Hope Quest description says "from Tunare's Tears" - the swamp is properly called "Tears of Tunare". Might be better if they matched.Researcher Wedinn - Repellant Before the patch there were sprout objects around the swamp but you couldn't click on them. There were plenty around though. Now I can't see any sprout objects, anywhere in the swamp.Handler Shirsha - I Want All Of Them!1. The wolf pups don't have quest continuation icons on them. Not sure if they should.2. You get one pup, take it back and the counter updates. The dialogue on Shirsha says "I see you have some friends with you" - should be "a friend" since you're only bringing one pup at a time.3. Next dialogue node, same thing. She says "You're safe now, little ones" - should be "little one" singular.4. It would be nice if the pups you brought back spawned behind her so you could see them - from both the first quest and this one. Maybe they should be doing this, but there's nothing.5. The second quest step says to take the pups back, but I already did.6. Shirsha isn't recognising the second quest step. No quest completion icon on her, and no new dialogue. Cannot hand in the quest.

If you use the bug spray on a mob in an encounter, only the targetted mob is affected and feared. The other/s aggro straight onto you without any delay. Which I suppose makes sense, but it confuses observing what's happening when one runs and 1 or 3 others charge at you. For the sake of simplicity, it might be nicer to make it an area sprat and have the whole encounter was feared.3. Typo in dialogue when handing in: "It seems to make them quite agressive" - should be "aggressive". 4. The Tearweed spray item is not removed from your inventory when completing the quest.

A Timeless Instrument (crafting quest). I sort of skimmed through a couple threads - didn't see it so:I'm supposed to craft some daggers for Phaerus. I got the quest on 2 of my toons - popped one on the horse to go back to starting area to use the crafting stations - other just stood at Phaerus, afk. While I was on the horse, I went afk and started dinner. About 20-30 minutes later I got back to the computer and find both toons have the step to make the daggers completed and I am to return to Phaenus with them. One never left so it was just a hail for her to get Essentials 92 - the other had to ride all the way back to get hers. So, you have some gremlin somewhere making daggers and sticking them in afk'ers bags. I love these kind of quests! Edit: Okay, apparently I have gremlins. My partner just said I probably got updates when he made the daggers. I don't have any text that says that but yea, it makes more sense than your gremlins. /ignore mode on

Armsmaster Veyx - Some Good From This, Too1. For the first quest step, there's a POI at the Armsmaster's location as well as the correct ROI for the Hive of the Rogue. Both are labelled with the step text, but the POI is wrong.2. The acid items are now removed from your inventory when you click a mound object. But the mineral underneath is no longer clickable. Quest is broken.Handler Shirsha - I Want All Of Them! 1. Completing the quest, the dialogue suggests checking back with how the pups are doing. I rehailed Shirsha, and she repeats the initial dialogue that led into this quest. But no repeat quest is offered. 2. The wolf pup pet has the same bug as the stormwing whelp had: it spawns as an equal level 2-down NPC and gets pulled into fights, then autoattacks for 5-6k slashing damage.On that note, whilst the stormwing pet isn't attacking any more, it still appears as an equal level 2-down NPC. Not like a fluff pet (which doesn't have a level).

Armsmaster Veyx - Some good from this, tooThere is a POI showing on top of the armsmaster when you take the quest (you should only have a ROI for the hive at that time).

Tracker Morin - Manpower Mishap 1. When you hail Kiosha and go through the dialogue, she starts following you. But the 3rd sub-step for "Locate Kiosha" doesn't update. Quest is broken.2. After you have Kiosha following you, the first instance of Kiosha which you found doesn't despawn. It's still there (with the same dialogue if you rehail her). Maybe just because the step didn't update properly though.3. The one that follows you is a level 90 NPC and is attacking mobs you fight on the way. Is this intended? Or another case of the stormwing/pup NPC type bug again?4. When you kill a mob whilst Kiosha is following you, she gives the same dialogue about "that's a nice kill but we need fawns" - which is from the quest back at the caravan outpost.5. This Kiosha following you has the same bug as all the scouts have in the quest from the caravan outpost. They don't follow, they run away from you! If I fly, then land, it spawns her next to me again. She immediately runs off back in the direction we came from and never returns.

a strange spirit - Whispers in the Swamp1. Took a few seconds for the quest step to complete when I returned with the spirit pieces.2. Took even longer to get the unstable spirit to spawn. I was moving around, don't know if that helped.3. When the unstable spirit spawns, the strange spirit doesn't despawn. It's still there, hailable and repeats the same dialogue from the previous step.4. When the rejuvenated spirit spawns, again the strange spirit is still there.5. The dialogue on the rejuvenated spirit says "I have diminished" - shouldn't it be the opposite? It's been made whole and grown in size, not shrunk.6. Again a good few seconds delay in the last quest step updating and the quest completing, after going through the dialogue on the rejuvenated spirit.7. The quest summary text says "a whirling mass of unstable spiritual energy ... which caused the energy to collapse into a larger ball of spiritual energy." The unstable NPC is actually kinda small, and not as impressive as this description makes it sound. Also if the unstable is supposed to collapse into the rejuvenated, the sizes are wrong because the rejuvenated is the largest. This suggests the unstable NPC needs to be scaled up to be much, much bigger, 2x or 3x it's current size. Then what you see would fit the story being told.The delay in the updates on this quest is weird. I'm not seeing general lag, or having trouble with other quests in Withered Lands this evening. Is it possible to have delay associated with a particular NPC script? Curious fae is curious.

Researcher Verisa - Strange MotivationsI spent more than an hour trying to find the update for this quest on the part "search for any other evidence". I killed everything but the named (died on it), I ran around in circles by air and on foot, moused over everything in the ROI, even backtracked to the holgresh pass and searched the caves there to no avail. Is the item I'm searching for in game?EDIT: got some additionnal tips from Soresja, seems the update is supposed to be a body with very small sparkles somewhere in the bones on ground floor. I can't find it for the life of me. Best guess is 1/ it doesn't respawn or 2/ it poofed with an update (last reported finding of this body was the 23th)So far I completed 93 quests in the zone with 2 waiting completion (strange motivations and manpower mishap) Am I still missing some?

The Ultimate Sacrifice1. I still think this quest needs to be given by Elder Kionn immediately after the preceding quest, not only after you zone in. People are going to miss it, and the whole ending of this story!2. Typo early in Kionn's dialogue: "the corruption that has plagued these lands have grown well beyond our normal control" - should be "has grown".3. This is too much text! All four elders' replies come up at once, then all disappear at once. You can't read it all in time, and the chat bubbles overlap blocking each other until you get your camera angle right. I'd suggest either getting rid of two of the replies, or staggering them to come up in sequence.<img src="http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1214/eq2000003bweb.jpg" />4. The onscreen message about the soul being absorbed is late coming up each time.5. The delay after each sacrifice is definitely too long, the elders just idle. It drags the whole thing out and looses the impact somewhat. People are going to be watching this thinking "yeah yeah, get on with it. just kill yourself already..." Especially since after the first one you know the rest are going to do exactly the same.6. Piunt doesn't say anything before stabbing himself.7. All the elders are using an idle animation which has them yawning. Really not appropriate behaviour for the seriousness of the ritual!8. There's no clue how to get out of the zone. Ok I guessed it was the ritual stone again. But perhaps something in the second quest step, to avoid spoiling the final dialogue?9. There should be totems around the ritual area, as per the tradeskill quest. Otherwise why did I bother making them? Plus they look cool, and could easily be added to this instance irrespective of whether they're placed in the Withered Lands zone yet, right?10. Again the option to leave the ritual not the default on the ritual stone. Like when you click to enter, this is not intuitive! Please make them the default actions, I don't see how the examine action really adds anything at all. Silnas - The Recollection of Events1. No ROI for the swamp for the first quest step.2. Silnas says they are herbs, which look a bit like reeds. The quest step says to collect herbs. Ok, but the objects are called "withered reed plant" - which to me makes them actually reeds and not herbs at all.3. No POI for SIlnas at the ritual spot for the second quest step.4. No quest continuation icon on Silnas for the second quest step.5. The second quest step says to return the herbs to Silnas, I expected this to update before clicking on the fire. There isn't actually any quest step related to starting the ritual.6. The clicky area for the fire isn't centered over the graphic for the fire pit. It's not easy to click on. Wouldn't hurt to stick a red sparkly on it either because the fire doesn't really look like an object.7. The light explosion effect is centered on the same spot as the clicky area - that is to say it's not centered over the fire pit either.8. This sentence of Kionn's dialogue doesn't quite make sense, needs rephrasing: "The transition will not be swift as this corruption took a long time to manifest as will it take to dissipate."9. No quest continuation icon on Silnas after the ritual, when on the step to talk to him.10. Typos in quest summary, it's not in past tense: "Silnas has said ..." should be "Silnas said" and "he plans to use" should be something like "he planned to use".11. The wither reed plant items are not removed from your inventory when clicking on the fire pit, or after completing the quest.

Currently, I only have one quest in my quest journal that can not be completed:Orienteering Badge - When I go to the locations of the ROIs there's nothing there.I have 90 completed quests in Witheredlands. There appears to be no further quests which I can receive.Also, perhaps because I had (before other fixes) gotten some quests out of order, I have not been able to receive Manpower Mishap. I had someone who has the quest show me where the quest giver is, and he's not there for me to talk with. So, I'm unsure if I may have missed another quest (or quests) before Manpower Mishap.I haven't received The Call Home either (nor any other level 94 quests).Out of Our Cold, Dead ....Thunderlash - I was told that he pops near the cliffs. I had spent several hours on multiple days trying to spawn him by waiting near the cliffs while everything was dead in the area marked in blue. Instead I moved back toward the swamp and killed the two on the swamp side of the NPC and Thunderlash spawned out there - way away from any cliff.

Whilhelmina

03-30-2012, 07:34 PM

No, it's the matron that spawns nears the cliff when you kill the youngsters.Thunderclash is a ground spawn in the water and triggers when you walk on the spot, so if you come by air, it's not there.

Tracker Morin - Manpower Mishap1. Kiosha updates ok for the first quest step now.2. For the second quest step, no POI for Tracker Morin.3. The cookies given as a reward are level 20, is this a bug or are they intended to be traded to low level alts? The health regen on them is really low though maybe because of the additional crit chance?Tracker Morin - The Combine Wants YOU!1. The dialogue and quest description ask you to map the swamp. Morin talks about "if we need to cross it". The first quest step says "within the Tears of Tunare". Sounds great but none of this matches the locations for the updates, which aren't in the swamp at all. They are west of the swamp in the Hive of the Rogue and the Valley of the Fallen.2. No POI to return to Morin for the second quest step. Tracker Morin - Gator Aide 1. Typo in dialogue before quest: "I don't have much else that needs done" - should be "needs doing".2. No POI for returning to Morin for the second quest step.3. Quest decription at the end, first sentence doesn't make sense: "Tracker Morin asked that since they now have a good map of the swamp they might be able to attempt a crossing soon." Probably should be "Tracker Morin said ..."4.

I Want All of Them! - The intro dialogue to this seems a bit disjointed. You ask Shirsha, "Are you looking for more of the lost pups?" and he responds with "Great!".Invasive Species - the scout reward, Dagger of Withering Hopes, is marked as a spear.Withered Lands Fossils (collection) - There is an item in the collection called "A Tigerapter Skull"... this should be "A Tigeraptor Skull" (with an o, not an e). <a rel="nofollow" href="http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=5572" target="_blank">http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/s...h.shtml?id=5572</a>I Want All of Them! - I popped out my mercenary in the New Combine Foothold just before returning to Shirsha and my pup disappeared.They Won't Need It Anymore - I can't find the update for "evidence regarding the corrupted wolves and their handlers" anywhere inside or outside of the ruins. I've been all over multiple times and am stumped on this step.Many Mouths to Feed - The longberry bushes are very hard to see, can you up the sparkle a bit on these or tweak their color some? They really blend in with the ground.Need More Information - Two minor issues with this quest. After accepting the quest I saw I was still able to click the plant I got the quest from (at -3235, -756, -287), and it popped out a plant to kill. After I killed it I did not get credit for the seedling update. The other 8 spots I found gave me credit. The second issue is that the turn-in ROI is showing the wrong location.. it's close, but not quite right.Need More Information - The turn-in dialogue for Researcher Alleng has a typo on this line: "There are few who know as much as I do about the plants, and I have the best chance of finding whatever clus lie within those seedlings." The word clus should be clues.

Has anyone else gotten it?Lost in the Woods - It seemed odd that the wagon disappeared as soon as I was finished speaking to Blaera. It staying around at least until you turn-in the quest might make a bit more sense.Porto Bunglefoot - I still see his quest feather much further away than I should. (currently seeing it at Sanctuary of Waning so I'm assuming this never got fixed from when it was originally reported a couple of weeks ago)Withered Lands Essences (collection) - I was ready to bug report an anomoly in the air... then found out what it really was.

All three are the same level/con. The only difference I see is that the scourers I found are inside a cave (which isn't in the ROI region for the quest) and the others are not. edit: Just tried an alpha inside the cave and it didn't update, so basically only scourers are.More Culling the Viscious - Just picked this up. I think the issue with this, and Culling the Viscious, is that the only description is "raptors with tiger striped hides" (striped is typoed as stripped, by the way). That describes every raptor. If only the scourers update this step then the quest should be more specific.Little Lost Raptor - The mother raptor ran off before I accepted the quest, which does not give sufficient time to read the paragraph on the quest acceptance screen if you want to be able to follow her. Please don't have her move until the quest is accepted--some of us like to read what we're doing. Why would we trust a raptor anyways? It'd be nice to have to option to kill it immediately instead of allowing it to get to its destination. Anyways, I made sure to examine and slaughter every last egg after that. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" />Little Lost Raptor (again) - This quest shouldn't be repeatable... you're insulting our actual intelligence to insinuate that we would be foolish enough to fall for this more than once. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" /> It should probably be marked as Heroic as well. edit: Looking through my screenshots, I also noticed that if there are hatchlings there when the nest resets, the hatchlings do not despawn. This caused my AoE to grab even more than just the ambushers.Picked Clean - teralid hive-guardians do not update this questMultitudinous Extermination/Good to be the Queen/Adephala - PLEASE make Adephala stop moving so quickly.. it's making it so hard to read and click on the dialogue boxes! (and a laugh to the quest being named "Good to be the Queen") edit: after going through this full dialogue it took a REALLY long time because I absolutely could not click on the correct box when she was facing me due to how much it was bouncing around. I also had to stare at the ground and read the dialogue text there because the box movements were making me naseous.

On my coercer I had a corrupted tender as a pet. Every once in a while the tender gets stuck in a casting loop. It looks like it is trying to cast a spell on me. From the graphics it appears to be one of the damage spells, so guessing he doesn't want to be my pet? LOLAlso, the corrupted tender is KOS to the New Combine Foothold guards. If I have a corrupted animal as a pet they are not KOS to the guards. Is this intended? Not complaining - it's a risk that I take when making a pet, but wanted to make sure its what is supposed to happen.Many Mouths to Feed bushes are too dark against the colors of the ground, trees and bushes. The only way I was able to find them was to turn my graphics way down, so nothing showed but the trees, bushes and mobs. Perhaps put a few light branches in the bushes so they stand out and/or sparkles? This was already mentioned, but wanted to add that I tried different settings to see if it helped which it didn't.Little Lost Raptor: When the mother gets to the nest it takes too long for the ambush. I almost left thinking the quest was broken. Edit: I found the matron up again on her nest with a feather over her, but couldn't take the quest again. Is it supposed to be repeatable? If so, it wouldn't let me take the quest again. Culling the Vicious: In the blue area on the map the only raptors I could find were many withertalon lurkers and one lone withertalon hunter even using track. None of these updated the quest, but I didn't expect them to as they had spots not stripes. If the update mobs aren't in this section, it shouldnt be colored blue. Finally - Is there a reason to do the repeatables over and over for anything other than coin? i.e. title, reward? I didn't see any faction hits, so wasn't sure if this was just to get money or if there is something else.ok that's all for tonight.

Tending to the Broken - Are the broken stele fragment debris clumps supposed to be pitch black in color or is there an art issue there? Also, when returning the fragments the Remnant of Growth mediums don't say anything... it'd be nice if they acknowledge that you brought the fragments back somehow.Removing the Corruption - Swashbucklers and Brigands need a throwing weapon reward choice for this quest. A bow is useless to me. We went through this with Great Divide and Eastern Wastes for months, please don't do this again.All You Need is Time - I failed this the first time (got distracted taking a couple of screenshots, it was too cool!) and when I restarted it I told Kerr "I am ready, nothing shall harm you!" then got a narrative message that "Kerr Wanderroot could not be found." However, it did progress fine, Kerr did and said what he should, that message was simply out of place there.Good to be the Queen - The ROIs for the scent pods are not disappearing for the ones you've already placed. edit: Just finished this quest. As it auto-completed, I'm very confused as to why I bothered with it. The insects are just as aggressive as before and you're just left shrugging your shoulders wondering where to go next.Right Place, Right Time - I recall, I believe Soresha?, mentioning a while back that the dialogues for this quest were going by too quickly. It seems that they have been slowed down some, but it still is a bit fast paced, especially when the two concerned satyrs are talking almost right over each other.

What They Can't See - asks you to kill "stormwings" near Alivan but gives a ROI out in the closer tears area. Killing Stormwing invaders out there does not update the quest. Only stormwing watchers seems to be updating the quest; either the invaders need to be added as giving updates or the quest text needs to be corrected to mention only watchers.

So on the overland I'm down toStrange MotivationsI have still not been able to find the update (continuation?) for this quest.I didn't go on test yesterday but other than that I try every day for this update for a while.Has this quest been in fact fixed? I've tried other areas as well as maybe the update is not in the ROI?Any help/input is welcome.

Up, Up and Away I logged in, immediately getting a popup window for either the achievement Up, Up and Away. The popup window showed a reward item, a charm, "Badge of Honor". But I didn't get the item, it was not put in my inventory. I did get a chat message "You have unlocked the ability to adventure beyond level 90!" This is confusing. Is it a clicky you're supposed to use to unlock the levelling beyond 90? Did I not get it because my toon is already 92, or is this a bug? If the unlocking is done automatically with the achievement, why have the charm item shown? Untapped Potential 1. I logged in an old copied 90 toon, who even after the recalculation has under 280 AA. She gets the quest "Untapped Potential". I used the beta buffing bauble to bump her to 320 AA (though it also unlocks the levelling anyway). Not certain this is a valid way to test it, but the second quest step didn't update. Assigned the points and still no change. Zoned out and back into Great Divide, nothing. Maybe it only completes if you gain the 280th AA by normal means, through xp? But then what's going to happen to someone pushed over 280 by the recalculations? Hope it looks at the new, recalculated total. Can't tell since the window for that pops up at the same time when you log in. 2. When the quest was offered, I'm sure it showed an item (Badge of Honor again?) as the reward. But on the actual quest in my journal, it shows no reward item. 3. Tried deleting the quest - ok good, it throws a message saying you can't. But it would be better to code the UI to grey-out the delete button in the quest journal for all quests in the Required category, so players can't even attempt it. Would just make it clearer. 4. So erm, did you already tell people having the DoV expansion was going to be a requirement for levelling beyond 90? Did I just miss that getting announced? Because it was news to me, reading the quest. Not that I'm objecting, you need the expansion to get the content for those levels anyway.Lieutenant Rennik - The Lands Above 1. Why am I NOT surprised he's a dwarf? <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> *pokes fun at the writer* 2. Excellent story recap. Engaging to read, not too drawn out, and makes sure people know the basic background before going into the new content. Very glad to see this being added! Are all you designers listening? PLEASE USE THIS TECHNIQUE MORE IN THE FUTURE! @Cyliena - please make sure you get this pre-quest dialogue on ZAM too!3. No quest update icon on Vishra. And I can't hand it in. BUT this is probably because I've already done his other quests.4. Re-ran it on TestCopy with a toon that hasn't done the Withered Lands quests, and it handed in fine.

The Lands Above - I hailed Rennik again after accepting the quest and he went through the entire quest dialogue a second time. Also the same issues as Soresha: I cannot hand in this quest and Vishra has no book for a toon that's already done Vishra's other quests. Had no issue turning it in on a char who hadn't been to Withered Lands before.A Helping Hand - Our characters tells Kilkarn that Vishra sent us to find the caravan, but I never got a quest to do so. I basically stumbled upon the caravan area by chance. Is there supposed to be a hand-off quest?A Helping Hand - I assisted Scout Kiosha first; while getting Kiosha's updates, Scout Leluh's raptor hide line was flashing like I had gotten a "you have not found any quest items" update. I did try killing a raptor and it did not update with Kiosha with me, so the quest tracker is just confused (Kiosha's deer updated fine as well).A Helping Hand - "a corrupted mist panther" that I killed that was stationary on a rock at /way -1843, -579, -1205 did not update this quest. The roaming ones did update it.A Helping Hand - All of the "a withertalon scourer" in and outside of the cave around /way -2204, -598, -615 was not updating Leluh's step.Wheel of Misfortune - The quest name made me think "Wheel of Morality, turn turn turn!"... <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" /> On a more serious note, the description in the New Quest box says "The one guy said he might have stuff for me to do." When I turned in the quest the Repaired Wagon Wheel was not removed from my inventory.Orienteering Badge - When I handed in this quest I got a double turn-in sound. Not sure if that was something on my end or not but I've never heard that happen before. Nevermind, it seems I'm having some lag on my end today.The Path to Peace - I cannot speak with the holgresh (the only thing it says is "[Grunts and snorts]" when I first calm it, otherwise no response) and I have no fruit in my inventory nor is there a right-click menu option to give the holgresh fruit.Spell Flingers and Effects of a Personal Kind - Neither quest has the "You did not find any quest items." message when you don't get an auto-update.Holgresh See - For being vv mobs these attackers have a LOT of health. *splat* Closest revive place is the Waning Sanctuary? Couldn't the Combine Caravan have a revive spot where those two tombstones are at?Holgresh Do - No ROI for the warpriest and treant updates for this quest.

Safety in Numbers - It appears that only holgresh attackers update this quest, yet the quest asks for any holgresh along the path. This should probably be updated to state just holgresh attackers along the path. A lot of attackers are sunken into the ground as well. The flare update spot is very finicky with where you need to stand as well; I had to take a couple steps north of where the update for finding a safe location was before it'd let me use the flare.Frightening Effigies - ROI spots are not disappearing when placing effigies.The Path to Peace - The fruit update works after last night's update, thank you.Abduction! - Morin did not have a quest feather when he was offering this quest. (I'm siding with the holgresh on this one... it was deserved after the caravan sent us to their caves far, far too many times. Cheers, holgresh! edit: Okay I honestly laughed my butt off when I saw I could answer that turning in the quest as well!!) After turning in this quest, Tracker Morin goes through the intro dialogue for Casting the Prints.

So I briefly logged in tonight (about the time the login servers dropped) and noticed "Your inventory is overflowing" Only to find that most if not ALL of the sweet quest and looted gear from Withering lands has been changed to lvl 91 or higher.This is very dissapointing. Not only to lose the use of the gear, but to think I worked my butt off and had some very close calls on a lot of kills to have it stripped from me until I reach lvl 91.As a loooooooooong time player and having a character as old as Cimee, I was not fortunate enough to have 280 AAs built up before the release. So not only am I now trying to grind my inky rear end off to get the AAs, I'm losing gear that was helping me do so at a rapid rate.Hope this is just an oversite and I can re-equip the items soon. Also did not see any mention of this in the update notes....bleh

Wispy Winds of Change - No ROI for this quest. Nevermind, just wasn't scrolled out far enough on my map.Interesting Discoveries - I found it funny that the quest step pointed out that you should avoid killing sifaye. They're rabid, there's no way to avoid that if you want the updates! Nice joke, though, even if unintentional.Whispers in the Swamp - "a corrupted sifaye stonemender" did not count at all toward attempting to update the appropriate step. The mobs in Valley of the Fallen are 93-95^ so this quest should probably be marked as Heroic.Whispers in the Swamp - The strange spirit does not have a continuation book over its head when you return with its essences. No unstable spirit mass spawned after I got that update; I had to run around the strange spirit in circles to get it to spawn. I saw both the strange and rejuvenated spirit after defeating the unstable and there was a lag time between the dialogue and the quest completion (both disappeared afterward). There was also no completed quest book over the rejuvenated spirit's head for the final turn-in.Zone Travel Horses are still showing up as quest feathers on the map.Weakened Budling - I have no idea how I'm supposed to save the budlings. I was given no quest items and there's no right-click option to do anything special with them.The Lands Above - Still can't turn this in on a character that's done Vishra's quests before. It won't be a big deal for live servers but I'm sure people on Test who already tested this content would appreciate it allowing them to turn it in.A Storm of Corruption - ROI for Lopa is nearby, but wrong.Weakened Budling - So a helpful person on Test helped me out with this step and we figured out what went wrong. If your mercenary gets the killing blow (and this may go for anyone in group without the quest), the budling simply dies instead of follows. When I finally got one to follow me it spawned about 8 of them, very spammy! (see pic below) It only updated as one despite that happening.<img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/209khtj.jpg" width="845" height="546" />A Stone's Throw - The quest states that the Queen's enchanters are working on the stones, yet the queen is the only one there. Minor detail in the scope of things though.The Ultimate Sacrifice - Overall, very well done. My only comments are that you got the message about souls being absorbed on the first four elders before they even completed the ritual and that the stones I made and placed during the tradeskill quest were not present around the ritual area in the instanced zone. Also, shame on them for not informing Silnas of what they're doing! <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" /> (shouldn't his name be Elder Silnas now as well?)The Recollection of Events - Silnas is duplicated under the tent and at the ritual spot when you return with the herbs.

I can only interact with one very small section of the fire and it's really difficult to click on, please make the entire fire area interactable. At the end of Elder Kionn's dialogue both Silnas and Elder Silnas (hah so much for my comment a bit ago) respond the exact same line, it's pretty odd.

I don't recall a single person from the New Combine Empire sending me to them.Pay For Their Crime - Should be marked as a Heroic quest. The Scout reward is a repeat from another WL quest earlier on (sorry don't remember which but it's been in my backpacks for quite a while now); yes it's not lore but honestly most Scouts by this point will likely just transmute it anyways.

Heya folks! Sorry that I've been quiet. There's a lot going on around here, so I've been pulled in a bunch of different directions, but I have been reading your feedback here, and making fixes.So for Shirsha's quests, the pups should now disappear appropriately. The only issue I'm not sure on is them poofing when you pop another pet - I'll have to look into that one. I'll also make sure that they aren't attacking things - I thought I had that fixed, but it's still happening, so I must have missed something.I somehow missed the feedback on Whispers in the Swamp, so I'll get to those today. I'll also try to get all of those "Heroic" quests marked appropriately.Oh, and for They Won't Need It Anymore - I finally got that fixed, but here's the issue: the quest had to be changed to accomidate the Wolfmaster spawning appropriately. The quest will now need to be completed in order, rather than having all of the steps available from the start. I added a new ROI to the step for the Wolfmaster, too, so you get pointed right to where he is rather than have to search for him. Since he caused me so much grief, I'm happy to let you guys kill him as easily as possible (he's a jerk).I also fixed up the wounded stormwing quests in the Tears of Tunare, especially No Mercy Here. Check them out if you haven't yet.Oh, Invaders should count toward the kill requirement in What They Can't See... now.IF there's anything left you're still concerned about regarding quests, let me know here or in PM. I'll look at it or have the appropriate designer take a look at it.Thanks again, guys!! You were a tremendous help in this testing cycle, and I appreciate all that you did. You guys rock.

NEW [BUG] SOEBuild=8696TPorto's first tradeskill quest: Preserving the FlankWhen you finish making the items, the quest is updated in your journal to the point of having to turn it in, however Porto has no book and asks if you need more salt. I had to actually hail him a couple times, filling my bags with salt, before he suddenly took all items and updated. I never did see a book. I would have thought this was a one-time fluke, but I had popped over from Everfrost to Test at the request of another, who also was experiencing this. So I was able to reproduce the same problem they had.[BUG] SOEBuild=8696TIf you are grouped with another tradeskiller and both are doing the same questlines at Santuary of Tears with Phaerus Thunderhorn:Clearing the Brush: clicking on the tainted plants is a group update currently I dont think this is intended.A Timeless Instrument: Crafting these in a group also updates each other's quest. I crafted 2 daggers and the party grouped with me crafted 3 and it updated both our journals as if we had crafted five (5) and we were able to hail Phaerus Thunderhorn and turn in. It should NOT be a group update as it created the next bug (see below)Totemic Reinforcement: Crafting the 4 totems while grouped created another bug! I had 2 and partner had 2 totems done, the quest updated in the journal as having all 4 completed. So we hail Phaerus and were asked to place the totems. We couldn't has we didn't have all 4 and what partner placed, totems 1 and 2, didnt update me and to solve the issue, partner crafted 2 more totems and I had to delete and redo the quest. Another issue is that there is a delay of up to 10 minutes, to place the totems after someone else did.

The Road Less Travelled 1. First step - find a way through the Holgresh Valley - no POI for this. 2. It's actually called the Holgresh Pass, not Valley. 3. It's not clear if I'm supposed to go striaght to Kionn or get an update in the pass first. Lack of POI isn't helping here. Since I'm going back to this quest I simply took the house ride up to Sanctuary of Tears, but nothing updated on the way. Went back and flew through it, killed a few mobs, no update. 4. In the Sanctuary of Tears, Kionn no longer exists! Pretty sure he was one of the guys committing suicide? Maybe this wouldn't happen on live if the quests are chained together, but I don't think I can hand this in. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? I.e. do I need to petition it (nice cloak reward!)

The step instructions aren't clear enough to tell you you're looking for an auto-update at the NPCs.6. Text for updated first quest step (and onscreen message) is wrong - it says "I have reported to Elder Kionn at the Sanctuary of Tears".7. The quest description on completion is placeholder text - "I found some fun stuff to do and even got some loot".

Quest"Good to be the Queen"After queen Adaphala sends you out to place some scent becons around the hive to calm them down, the second step has you returning to Adaphala.POI is in place as well as the flashing text book to indicate a quest finish.Quest says "Return to Adaphala in the hive of the queen"When we got to her, she would not respond to any sort of communication attempts. So we cannot advance or finish the quest line at this time.Last time she "spoke" to us in our minds when she gave the preceeding quest for the becons.

I did it yesterday, was prepared to do the same feedback and then it updated. You need to be right below her to get the update (aka, what she did on first step some time ago, if you could change her radius a bit pretty please?)(thanks for the updates Cronyn!)Random question: There doesn't seem to be any writs in Withered lands (and the TS writs were missing too last I looked). This is a problem: as you gain levels, you gain less status for writs, so not having writs at level 91 will lessen the possible gain of status.

Unexpected Weather - There's exactly the number of storm elementals in the area that are required for *one* person to do this quest. I checked after finishing and the first ones still hadn't respawned. Either the amount of storm elementals required needs dropped (to maybe 3 or 4) or they need to respawn a bit faster.Scattered to the Wind - Not sure how I missed this in my original pass, but it also uses the storm elementals! Geez those things are going to be perma-dead the first week or two.Plan of Action - Is the ROI on the farm fields wrong? I don't see any storm cloud progenitors there. I finally found one out in the Tears, which is also marked by an ROI for this. Not sure why we're given the rod either since it isn't actually clicked on and wastes inventory space during the quest. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" />I finished The Ultimate Sacrifice a couple of days ago and just ran into Elder Pultin out in the swamp. Errrr...

Might want to make sure she doesn't have the quest sparkle when you're not on the quest! Also, why do you give the *exact* ROI for this one? You really should make people actually have to look for her IMO. Thunderlash should be worth AA.I haven't noticed any quest npcs speaking in Draconic, but the Dracurion Overseers by the Emissary do.Manpower Mishap - This rewards level 20 food, really? = I'd rather just have the coin reward, thanks.

Some Assembly Still Required - Emissary's hints need updated; they're all in the swamp and he tells you the swamp, cliffs and a nest. Many thanks to the testers that helped me find the second and third ones, was going nuts.Oh my goodness, a bunch of Deepwater Researchers popped up in Alivan after this quest... either that or I'm *really* blind.Captain, My Captain - Nod to Walt Witman or Dead Poets Society? Well, I guess they're related, so both? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" />First Order of Business - No quest starter feather above the Captain's head for this. The number of whelps should be dropped to 3 since there appears to only be two groups of 3 in this area. No Matriarch is popping. Oi the trigger area for the matriarch is really small! She should also be worth AA.The Call Home - Why is a quest reward shield Mastercrafted? edit: Now that I've run it.. Lady Nevedaria's dialogue is difficult to read/click on with all that head swaying.. not as bad as the Queen's Hives quest but I had to stare at the ground to concentrate on each part. Also, it'd be nice if the shield could be changed into a house item as well; as a dual wielder I have no interest in using it as appearance and I'm guessing others may feel that way (and others won't), so having both options available would be nice as it is a very nice-looking item.Beacon of Hope - The triggered holgresh names are spelled wrong; "sabatoger" should be "sabotager".Some Good From This - I had round-robin enabled and was grouping with someone without the quest, so they got the acid and could not trade it to me. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" />Stop the Buzzing Again - This is the repeatable one I got without ever doing an original version. When you return to Overseer D'luk to turn it in, he gives the intro dialogue and won't finish the quest.Salvage Mission - You mention to Feera that there's seeds near her, but there isn't.

Instead of just a large area "swamp", he is a bit more specific to the 3 regions now.

The cliff spawn was changed and moved in the middle of the swamp, so if you did it a long time ago, the cliff reference was fine. Now it's in the middle. I had huge troubles finding them too.Will give the locs for those who spent a lot of time looking: -146, -745, -97-191, -745, -223-4, -745, -347In the process of redoing all quests as a duo, here is a new one:Removing the corruptionThrowing the boiling stuff on Kerr doesn't update for the group (that's fine) BUT, the second player cannot throw the stuff until the poor satyr has finished his dance for the first one. Forgot to double-check the ding on second char and had to restart.Kerr Waderroot - All you need is timeSame as above: you cannot start the event on 2nd char if the first char is already doing it, so I had to do the event twice. I would suggest putting this on a group update as it doesn't make sense to purify the stele twice.

Captain Haliran - Holgresh SeeI have lots of troubles with this quest as a duo.First, I triggered the event for one char and 1 holgresh validated and 1 defender, instead of 3 holgresh, 2nd waved dinged 2 holgresh.It didn't validated for the second char... and as usual my mercenary (paladin) ended up fighting with the guard *rolls eyes*. I hate when merc do that. Well, not the merc fighting but the guard hitting the merc.It seems that, to update the quest, you need to land the killing strike. With combine guards helping, it doesn't help and if you're a group of 6, getting updates for everybody may be a bit hard.Wheel of MisfortuneWheel still stays in inventory upon completion.

Captain Haliran - Holgresh DoRunning this quest as a duo, the first char was able to place the pikes and get the update but the second char couldn't: instead of the sparkles, I see the pikes and nothing is clickable. It took a good long minute to have the pikes disappear and be able to finaly place them back. Should be a group update or something character based.(btw, I love the updated art on those)
