Guild Wars 2

Yesterday I done it with my other character everything was fine, today I went same place did same things and the event does not appear.

Tried every scan 50 times running and spamming wasted 50 candy corn – the event just doesn’t start.

Edit: Wait it started after 30 min of spamming :/

If that’s the one with the burning village in Harathi Hinterlands, you need to actually start the event by finding a Suspicious Location in a hard-to-see place.

While standing on the mossy bridge, perform “Etheric Scan”. A Suspicious Location should appear near one end of the bridge, inside one of the gaps on the stone railing. Inspect, and the burning village appears.

Approach it, and perform “Aqueous Scan” to find the Suspicious Location that gives you the bucket. Make sure to stay out of the area enclosed by the flames until ALL the flames are extinguished.

(Putting the place to activate the event in a spot a little further away is probably deliberate, because it’s not fun to suddenly have a ghostly fire lit around you, which then burns you to a crisp in seconds.)
