Guild Wars 2

I’m currently on LW S3 step 5 "Elixir Cookin’ " and I cannot progress past “cook the elixir”. I did not have enough uses on my sickle to gather the herbs next to the hotspring so I went to get another and when I came back the herbs that I had were removed from my bags entirely and the herbs are now despawned from the world.

Is there any way I can just restart this portion of the quest? I really don’t want to do the start of the chapter with the dragon again… I have the rest of the mats still in my inventory but now it’s impossible to progress.

As you can see there’s literally nothing that I can harvest in the area.

take the ingredients to https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Blister_Cauldron to cook the elixir

Alright that worked so thank you.

This kind of gives the impression of having to do something else but I guess that’s related to the heart in the area. I thought I was going to have to restart the entire thing all over again.

I have the same problem as in the original post only the solution proposed by Bonezz.4961 does not help.
It keeps telling me i have to go collect the herbs when i interact with the cooking pot which is now green on the map, but i do not see them anymore as Bonezz.4961 posted above with his screen shot.

EDIT —-—- UPDATE —-—-

Correction, i was trying to put the ingredients in the wrong location, just as Bonezz.4961. Please see nottsgman picture for details.

Also i tried stopping and “continuing” the episode again which did not help.
I have also reported a bug in-game for it.

If the picture in your attachment is your map, you haven’t gone near the hottest hot spring yet. Keep going east to that undiscovered PoI, and you cook the elixir there, not in the big one that sometimes gets attacked by ice monsters.
