I am genuinely miserable and disappointed this still hasn’t been fixed. I’ve reported it as a bug and I replied to the core post about this/ kept reading other’s similar-but-not-the-same issues. But there’s been nothing to suggest this is even being worked on.

TLDR – This is not the “Firestone/Suet” bug. I have not yet been able to complete the story once because I logged out at the wrong time during it.

Basically, on release day, my husband and I completed part of the Season 3 Episode 3 story, all the way up to “Chillblains”. We made the elixir, went into the Bitter Cold, but we were tired and had work in the morning, so gave up for the night and left the game.

Now we are stuck on this story step, can’t move forwards, can’t go back. We can’t craft the elixir again – even having all the ingredients at the hot spring just says “I’m not ready yet”. Can’t restart the story from a place where we can just do it all again (Hell, I’d rather just be able to start the entire story from scratch as long as it fixed it!).

I just can’t believe the radio silence. Whilst not exactly the same issue, so many people have been affected by progress-halting bugs relating to the elixir. Weeks later, still no sign of a fix/ even an apology and a promise its being looked at.

For someone who actually cares about the story and wants to know what’s happening/ wants to complete the achievements, this has really ruined the past few weeks for me.

So, has anyone heard anything? Did the suet/firestone issue actually get fixed? (last post on the main thread looks like it was 5 days ago). Is anyone else in this specific limbo?

I can’t confirm nor deny if there was a fix for your particular problem since I don’t have any characters that need to obtain the elixir more than once but suet now drops for characters that haven’t gotten that far in the story yet and firestones can also be bought by characters that haven’t reached that step in the story.

You can at least get the items but then there is the game’s inability to count … https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Elixir-Recipe/6440883

Have you contacted the CS Team and discussed the issue with them?

As far as counting goes, I don’t think it matters how many of the item is in inventory/bank when the necessary action is gathering to activate the tripwire.

Good luck.
