“How do I start the quests on the pygmy isle or do I need to complete the signature quest: Pirates' Plot first? I've completed 28 so far. There are no more npc quests for me or in the phantom sea.”

I've wondered about the Pygmy isle quests myself. I figure I'm not getting them because I haven't been able to turn in Research and Recovery after getting the bookcase update in the cellar. The only Pygmy isle quests I've done are the ones from the Tradeskill timeline.

[Matia]

The ruby emporers are constantly tossing people up in the air. After once or so, that can get very annoying and disorienting. Occasionally, okay. But constantly bouncing up and down gets a bit sickening. You might look at cutting down on the bouncy.

I'm coming in a little late, sorry if I missed this but is the last marker for "Stretched Reality" supposed to be floating in midair above the tower?

Is it because of "research and components" or because of the bugged dinos ?

I have a single quest left, about the Dinos, i deleted "research and components" since i could not turn it but i cannot get it back.

Trying to do" Captain Greymast". I found that he was not in the Crows Nest (former Sapswill tree) but then spent over half an hour running up and down without getting an update. I've seen all the Island and am sure there is no crew there (unless they are now skeletons.) Can you please make the update area larger?

Thank you

Shattered Seas : Chasing Greymast

I am really annoyed ( understatement of the year )
I am working on this quest for 4 days now and still NO update on any sign of the traders.
I visited the ship
I found the camp
But no frikkin sign of the traders, scoured the isle for 3 days. Spiders wont give any updates either since I finished all their quests before progressing on the sig quest. Ok so I ran the solo zone Bilgewater, killed all mobs and guess what NO trader inthere either. Now I am facing the Captain and he is nasty.

Or I am doing it wrong or there must be a certain order in doing all the quests.
I hope this is gonna be fixed real soon otherwise i dont see any use of coming back to beta.
Btw. Not looking forward in doing Bilgewater solo again for this quest

Have Fun and Stay Safe

I keep seeing people talk about the dinos but I haven't gotten any quests like that. I'm stuck on the turn in part of Research and Recovery from the first island.

[Darcnova]

Dunno what it is, but after I finished Researcher Aillena Beliza's quest, "Pushing Ahead" I was unable to log the next quest, and she stayed at the dig site.

[faerynuff]

Artifacts and Grimlings. These things swarm like mad! I think I might be able to handle them if they didn't powerdrain me. Once they do that you really don't have a chance. It definitely needs to be dialed back a bit. Having to die multiple times from only managing to kill one or two before they kill you to hit quota is NOT fun. (and we need 15! omg..)

Edit: The hominids near the tower have the quest feather and attacking them gives me qyest updates Not sure if this is intended or not but its a welcome change from being jumped by an angry gaggle of grimlings!

SOEBuild=11425

QUEST: A Deinodon is Angry: You are to kill "a rampaging ______" for updates. This quest started out ok with SOEBuild=11425 but due to a later quest in this series*, it's bugged. (see below)

*QUEST: A Deino Saved is a Deino Earned: When you get to the part of this questline that says "I need to find a rampaging deinodon to trap" and "Use a 'Deinodon Tar Trap" on a rampaging deinodon. Once this had been done a few times it seems, all you see are the the results of those finished ahead of you. Several "a rampaging _____" on their sides that won't work for anyone's quests.
It appears they have forgotten to despawn and allow new mobs to spawn for those on either "A Deinodon is Angry" or "ADeino Saved is a Deino Earned" quests.

Quest: A Tail of Two Trails:
Seek out Nuwat Pickletrader at the Merinep ... he is no longer there and missing for me. I ended up gettting a continuation of the signature line from him and he no longer updates this questline and I am stuck.

Quest: Handle With Care
I need to deliver the pygmy care package to Waulon Highpebble. on the Isle of Refuge. He is no where to be found.

Shattered Seas: Enter the Savage Lands
This questline is halted until the above issues can be resolved!

[Shiloh]

Its a bit annoying that many of the questgivers change places, at the same time as they are not shown on map when the quest is finished=) Quite many quests and NPCs are like this, but I'm sure its been looking into already.

[Taiyla]

I am still waiting to be able to turn in Research and Recovery. I realize it's not connected to the Sig quest but I think I've missed out on doing quests for the pygmy tribe.

I am also stuck on the first solo zone for the Sig quest. I can't do it with a merc so I need to find a live healer to run it.

[froggy]

hi after four days I am still waiting for nuwat in menip and waulon on isle of refuge still no fix and also a deino saved is a deino earned is STILL bugged

[Elinea]

Redemption's Folly:

On Death Weave Isle, the end of Redemption's Folly, where the elder tells me to leave and I go back to Three Sisters to speak to Kitkalla, (the quest step tells me to return to Kitkalla) but the spider does not have a book over his/her head, and does not acknowledge me when I hail it.

[Elinea]

Since I can no longer edit, I was able to finish other quests involving Kitkalla and he responded to me on other quests, even after getting stuck on Redemption's Folly. I can't advance any further, because the only two quests I have for Tranquil Sea now, is:

Shattered Seas: Chasing Greymast - Continue to help the Gorir urzarach colony.
Redemption's Folly - Speak with Kitkalla (Located on Death Weave Isle at 392, 169, -395).

Also, I'm submitting bug reports in game as well as posting on here, which I hope works because sometimes I don't like to tab out of game if I'm in a spot where I can get beat on by mobs.

She stayed at the dig site, but she also appears off to one side of the dig site with Clangwhing and Assistant something or other. The Aillena that is off to the side with the other two should advance the quest.

Later on, there's another version of her over by the crafter npc Skrit, that will advance the Testing the Meat quest, even though you can still find her on the side of the dig site talking to you about another previous quest. She is just all over the place lol.

[Elinea]

Okay, figured out my problem with Kitkalla. I was going back to Three Sisters and talking to him there, not realizing there were two of him, and neither had a red book over the head to indicate who I was to speak with. I deleted the quest and read the dialog again and saw where he says "I'll meet you there". Missed that completely Talked to him to finish Redemption's Folly, and on we go!

Where about did you find Kitkalla at 3 sisters? He is not appearing on track

[Alienor]

A dragonfly, a spider is the only quest I can do right now and I am stuck at the point where I am supposed to bring news to Kitkalla. The thing is still sitting next to the Elder, although the quest dialogs implies it is at the 3 sisters. The adventure quest line just ends here, as there are no other quests which can be done on either island in TS or PS.

I agree with the above statement, on the same part, my dirge Fieria has done 28 quests in there so far, and have not been able to advance this questline at all from the above mentioned part...

[Sisca]

I'm still trying to do what I think is the final turn in for Research and Recovery.

Last week I had some issues getting into the cellar and getting the bookcase clicky to actually do anything so in the meantime I went ahead with the other quests. I've now managed to get all the notes and am on the step of Return to Clackwhinge but he's not at the spot just past the first arch. He moved to out near the dig site with his assistant and Aileena (or whatever her name is). That version gave me some different quests to do, which I've managed to finish but I still can't turn in these notes.

The version near the dig site should be able to accept the earlier quests, especially since he gave me new quests, so that I can finish them Seems kind of silly that there are multiple versions of him and once the one you need for the first quest has moved due to some other quest you can't finish it.

[Extemper]

Hi guys, there will be a build here soon that should clean up a lot of pending issues. In particular Clackwhinge should update Research and Recovery no matter where he's at, and Kitkalla should update Chasing Greymast when he's over by the Elder in Gorir. The rampaging deinos should also no longer be scooting around while trapped.

We'll also have ROIs for quests that need them, along with a slew of other quality of life fixes.

[Alphonsus]

OK I give up, been asking everyone for days and I seem to be the only one stuck on this part of "Pushing Ahead"
Aillena had some big energy bubble around her, it exploded, and my quest says "I need to talk to Aillena about what I just saw." The journal says Talk to Belzia, when I talk to Belzia (both npc's of her) she does not update the quest. She tells me to go gather some herbs, but I've already done the gathering herb quest. Don't know if doing them out of order some how screwed it up. Deleted the quest and did it all over, same thing. Placed wards, set off Digmaster's Flare, Talk to Belzia and nothing....

[Borb]

Adeinodon is Angry quest will not update on the first step "find an 'angry' deino"

[Kuulei]

“hi after four days I am still waiting for nuwat in menip and waulon on isle of refuge still no fix and also a deino saved is a deino earned is STILL bugged”

This is where I am still stuck as well.

[PSDuckie]

Quest: Stretched Reality
Issue: The bag icon shows up on the mobs at Malvonicus' Folly before the player gets to that step of the quest, causing confusion.

Quest: Artifacts and Grimlings
Issue: The book icon for the quest turn-in does not show up on the map, nor does it show up above Assistant Shortspanner's head.

[PSDuckie]

For some reason it isn't letting me edit the post again, so sorry for the double post.

Quest: Captain Greymast
Issue: The book icon for the quest turn-in does not show up on the map, nor does it show up above Overseer Clackwhinge's head.

[Kalika]

After rescuing the Far sea crew from the lizarmen village i got 3 quests, for once everything was fine and clear .... i was surprised. Then i had to gather crystal, 8 of them. I got 4 very quickly some broke but not may like half of them.
After getting 4, 100% of the crystals suddenly broke.

I tried : with a tornado just nearby => did not work
with the detrimental of the caustic slime on me => did not work better.

I tried standing still at zero meters ...

I logged off and will try again later.

And for those that like me deleted the quest in hope that taking it again will solve the issue ?

Shall he give back the quest ?

ROI will be welcome, i probably spend 95% of my time looking for locations ....

examples :
I had to find a pygmee on the wet dock -- took 5 mn scouting all the north shore,

i needed Vines to build a barrier took 30mn to find them ... once i found one i got the 5 other within 2mn ..

I had to find blackwall, i found the 2 pygmee villages i scouted all the three island ... finally the update was inside first pygmee village but apparently it updated only in a very narrow area. So indeed, Blackwall was the first place i visited but i missed the update by 1-2 meters ...

- You should also fix the various issues caused by copies of NPC, like the spider-bear, the gnome, the erudite.

- Next feathers and red books are often missing

- Lot of people got issue speaking to spider-bear in their little houses, not only you don't see any feather but you need to
get really close to them to speak, some friend could not validate his quest with "elder something", told him to jump in his "house" and then it worked.

- When looking for items to harvest it would be nice if the journal entry was displaying an image of the element we are looking for.

[Yajirushi62]

Sorry if these were mentioned already, but heres my random list of quest "suggestions"
Clackwhinge's Celler - various quests, buggy click box for zoning in, needs a pop-up for zoning out.
Researcher Aillena Belzia's quests - inconsistant usage of both Aillena and Belzia to referr to one NPC
Artifacts and Grimlings - the second stage grimlings are all stacked on top of eachother, aggroing one ends with you dead 3s later. they also dont rush you like the quest appears to say should happen.
Captain Greymast - can we get sparklies for the location updates? finding them is a pain. finding the three locations on the right isle of the IoR area, similar quest in Phantom Sea
A Dragonfly, A Spider - referrs to amber emporers instead of ruby emperors
Caustic Collection - needs better collection rate on the crystals, and respawn rates. less than 5% success rate. - note Phantom Sea quest
