House Yrzu Quests Feedback and Bugs

[Gaptia]

Right in the nose
Same problem when doing quest in group :
Speaking to Annuk'ka advance the quest on both char, but killing him update only the char who spoke to him. Have to /camp for char 2 to speak again and advance the quest.

[Gaptia]

Furthering education :
Still doing quest on both char.
Coax the wisp on char 1, this update both char.
Get the silver hearth on both char, but only one char can combine it to advance the quest. Even when camping.
Blue message : There is no eligible target for this spell.

I delete the quest and retake it.
When killing silvercat, the heart loot was enable on char 1 even if he was past the step.

[Gaptia]

Teacher conference
Find Taliseda :
Again, only one char gets update when killing her. Oter char can't see her until the char /camp.

Scar Treatment:
Uelmondi

Pakiat bluffs is spelled Pikiat

[Beee]

Resonant Zeolite in Meletherial plans (Quest Art Class Dropout) are really hard to find.. Sparkling or something like this is missing

Quest: The Queen's Favor

• Crystallized Aether Essence--these are hard to see, even if you are on top of them. They need a size increase or perhaps an adjustment in color.
  

Quest: Retaking the test
Quest giver: Hassetya
Quest text: Collect aecilite stones from the river in Myhst Valley

The rocks for this update could be more common or be more noticeable, not sure if i'm missing them or they're just not spawning.

Quest: Terra Forma
Problems:
1) Once in the instance, the quest is very vague on what to do. It can be figured out, but it's vague
2) I'm in the instance now and can not find a way out. If there is one, it's not showing nor does the quest tell you how to leave. (update, I found the way out by doubling back. I had to right click "the air" (nothing) to get a exit prompt. There should be a visual aide to exiting the zone and quest test

Quest: Riddle Me This
Quest Giver: Elishuru
Step: 4. I should search for the strange light, "where the plants walk"

I am just not seeing this one. Could there be a little more info given with the clue?

Edit: Someone in General chat helped me. For some reason, I'd thought it would be in the Gardens, since those were the first plants I'd seen walking

On this quest, you are supposed to find a yrzucite stone and 4 Crystalized Aether Essences. The quest suggests you can find them in the "Valley of Myhst" The problem I experienced was that the essences weren't where I expected them to be found and they blended in so perfectly with their surroundings, it took a half hour to locate them, then I still needed help to find them. They are not trackable or targetable. In short, this quest is very frustrating.

Quest: Take Me to Your Leader
Quest Giver: Atkuki
Quest Text: It appears to be a crude map, with a large circle on the easternmost part of the Drukyna Marsh.

I searched high and low, behind the waterfall on the "easternmost" point. The update isn't there, the update is north (but not northernmost). It is on the patch of land of north part of DM. Might want to somehow change the directional wording in the journal/quest helper.

Quest: Retaking the Test
Quest Giver: Hasselya
Step: Finding the smooth Aecilite rocks. The rocks blend into the background almost completely. They need to either be a different color than the background or at minimum tab targetable. As it is they are nigh on impossible to see unless you are right on top of them.

Quest: Tending Garderns
Quest Giver:Silvele

Quest: All's Wells
Quest Giver: Anhasit

Quest: Crystals in the Rough
Quest Giver:Ylseeda

The above mentioned repeatable quests are first available after completing the complete House Yzru Questline (therefore being at 50K faction). It would be beneficial to make these quests available to those that have 40K faction so that they have more options for the last stretch of faction farming which is currently has to be done with two repeatable quests.

Quest: Scar Treatment

The second part of the quest after collecting Metetherial Essence states "I'll need to search Pikiat Bluffs for a piece of Skyfire Crystal" when it should be starfire crystal.

For 'Specific Resonance' the NPC tells you where the mobs are located at when you talk to her in getting the quest, but in the quest journal it doesn't mention it at all. As long as you don't log out you can always scroll back up to see the NPC chat text, but if you log out and back in that text will be gone. Maybe instead of saying 'Attempt the draw on xxxxxx in Plane of Magic' have it mention the places the NPC told you in the chat text.

Shape the Future - it says search for Alishinu in the Metetherial Plains, I ran all over and didn't see her anywhere. Is she hidden away really well, or if she's somewhere obvious would it be possible something is preventing me from seeing her?

[Beee]

Grindig faction .. about 850 points per quest in sum about 30k grindfaction means 35 x a stupid quest
Fount Duty - doable in a usefull time
Retaking the Test - The first part collecting 6x aecilite Stones is ugly.. reduce this from 6 to 1 or 2.. 6 Stones are very hard to find.

And please make more quests do the repeatable quests are one necessary max 2x per quest if not getting malus from other faction

[Elowith]

Retaking the Test - I've seen this reported a few times, but it hasn't been changed so throwing it out there again. There are hardly any stones and/or their graphics makes most unseeable.

+1
Quest: 'Fount Duty' - Seriously needs more subversion fonts.
Quest: 'Retaking the Test' - More aecilite stones are needed.

It's a tedious grind with those two quests, having the updates hard to find makes it even more so!

YES please increase the spawn of the "smooth aecilite" in the river. This is going to be really frustrating when it goes live since it's a repeatable quest needed for faction.

The repeatable quest Fount Duty I am ending up with multiple Black Mirrors in my bag.

[Taiyla]

Would also be nice if the other 3 repeatable quests (Tending Gardens, All's Wells, Crystals in the Rough) that become available at 50k faction would be available at 30k or 40k since you don't really need more than 50k faction.

Morning folks!

I've got a list to go through that I made over the weekend from all the feedback. I'll get working on this today and I'll post a log of what changes you can expect to be coming.

Thanks for all the time you put into the quests over the weekend, and for coming here to pass along what you found. It's much appreciated!

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to put on some music and start hammering away. ;-)

Tried again today and found her right away on first fly by. Either I'm just being more observant tonight, or it is some weird reason like I was in instance 3 last night and in the main instance tonight.

Evening all!

Okay, I think I went through all of the feedback, and addressed most all of what was reported. Here's what you should see in the near future:

• The portal from the Aetherscar instance used in the quest 'Terra Forma' has been changed. It is now two objects playing a portal effect in the zone - one near the entrance and one closer to the ritual site.
• Taliseda's book should now properly show for the quest 'Teacher Conference', when ready to initiate the conversation between her and Salindis.
• The fight with Annuk'ka (along with a couple of others) for 'Right in the Nose' should now be a group update.
• The Silver Heart required for 'Furthering Education' should now drop properly, as long as you do not already have a silver heart or the preserved silver heart in your inventory.
• Added more placements of crystallized aether for the quest 'Queen's Favor.'
• Updated appearance and added a new effect to the smooth aecilite stones for the quest 'Retaking the Test.'
• Updated the journal for the quest 'Terra Forma' to be more descriptive when Uelmondi is performing the ritual.
• Updated the journal to be more specific for the quest 'Queen's Favor.'
• Fixed typos in a few places.
• Updated the journal text in the quest 'Specific Resonance' (and the follow up quest) to point to Metetherial Plains.
• Added more placements of subversion founts for the quest 'Fount Duty.'
• Deleting the quest 'All's Wells' should now properly remove her medallion from your inventory.
• The repeatable quests 'Tending Gardens,' 'Crystals in the Rough,' 'All's Wells,' and 'Vetted Rocks' should now be properly handed out after players complete Terra Forma, rather than after players finish The Majestrix's Trust.

These updates will not be in the next patch, but should be available in the one after that (which should be a little later in the week). Keep an eye on the patch notes, and you should see them go up.
Thanks again for reporting all of these! If you see anything more (or if these are cropping up after they are patched in), please let me know and I'll get to work on them.
Happy hunting!

[Taiyla]

Thanks Cronyn! Opening the other 3 repeatable quests should be a big help when it goes live

Quest: Unusual Suspect
The quest says to look in the 'Drukyna Marsh', but the quest updates are all where the morningdew spawn, which was described as being part of the 'Kandra Uplands' by the quest Elishuru gives. It doesn't become the marsh until you get closer to the water according to the yellow popup text.

Also, last step, Atkuki says: 'Allyrians are all dead-ta! himselfpit* Weak and frail, not at all like mighty Grand Ones!'

I know himselfpit* can't be meant to be in there, but just wondering, what emote is it you were wanting him to do at that point?

I take it you are leaving this misleading direction in the journal info for:

Didn't see my request fix in your bullets unless it falls under typos I guess.

While I don't think that this update would be live yet, I'd like to request more locations/ occurrences of the smooth aecilite stones. Since the quest is repeatable, these may become a choke-point when PoP goes live. Then again, maybe there are MORE and I just can't see them until the appearance is changed

[Karsa]

retaking the test repeatable --
the respawn rate of the aecilite stones is HorroR-bad should be faster and or more stones to farm seeing how many people will looking for the stones to grind out the repeatable... or could raise faction payout too
