Guild Wars 2

It’s still bugged. I do expect that the item is available if I did story, no matter what. I am not going to repeat story mode second time because something doesn’t work as it should. Please fix it so item show to character if that character finished story and even if the story was restarted later as it’s main issue here I suppose.

The problem here is that the Elixir creation is a DAILY in the zone. Also, the elixir is required to go into the freezing zone without which you die very fast.

So here is the problem – the programmers fix one part of the issue while neglecting the whole other part. What needs to be done is to have it unlocked from the story itself. You can’t have a daily “You must start the story over EVERY day just to get the daily done” daily.

Please fix this issue soon. Very soon. Separate it from the story requirement, period.

The bug’s still there. I get no suet drops nor can I buy the firestone nor does the grawl offer me one upon building this ugly thing for him.

I “restarted” and “continued” the story several times and tested over with that, but that didn’t change anything.

ah well I’m glad I read all this.. I will hold off completing the story for now.

loaded update and still no Suet drops and Grawl stone not showing up for purchase… Why have a “daily” listed that people cannot complete??? Another missed chest and berries…

It’s still bugged.

I still have the same issue, patch did not do anything for me.

still bugged 15char

Same here. Sun Warming doesn’t sale Grawl Firestone and other items don’t drop at all. Give for players who completed story some pernament item or mastery. If you can’t fix it, delete it! It will be faster and easier. I am quite annoyed, I need only 2 achievements for gloves and still cannot finish them.

This is what I meant (see pic) It says I have done all 4 hearts but I have actually done none. Maybe you guys should check if it’s the same on yours, As I think this may have something to do with it.

Still unable to buy a firestone

cant buy it. a week later and you still havent fixed it. great job

I believe this is mentioned in the update notes… Many players, including myself, preferred “hearts” and therefore map completion staying at 100% after Anet started using “hearts” as “dailies” with LS3.

As in Ember Bay many players seemed to moan about " map completion" disappearing after map completion…
Hope that made sense..

Still bugged – No Grawl stone or Suet..

No, Look at the picture again. Let me help it says in the top corner 4 hearts of 4 hearts complete when if you look none are complete, To make it more clear I had not gone to that map for over 24 hours. Yesterday it was borked like that as well except it was 3 of 4 hearts complete and I hadn’t been in there for a few days, yet none of the hearts were done. The map is bugged out and still can’t buy the firestone.

Still unable to buy a firestone…

The icons in the top left are the map completion icons. They show as 4/4 done because you’ve finished them once to get credit for the hearts on the map; those will always show as completed. The heart icons on the main part of the map will reset every day because they’re repeatable, which is why they’re shown as incomplete for you (since you hadn’t been in there to finish the tasks that day).

Thought I’d add to the chain in a hope of a fix. Grawl firestone doesn’t appear and suet no longer drops. Maybe vendors should just sell the elixir after the story for lazy people XD

I HAD NOT DONE THEM! I had only done the story, I only did the story on release day, Then did the grawl heart to get the stone the second day and I couldn’t buy it and it said 3 of 4 done when 1 of 4 were done. I left the map and came back to it 2 days ago and it said as it said the first day 3 of 4 done. I did the svanir heart and it clocked 100% map complete but still said 3 of 4 and I still can’t buy the stone.

If you do “just the story,” there’s a good chance you’ll finish the hearts.

As a reminder, Suet and such only drop when you’re on the story step that requires them.

My problem is different. I completed the story and bought extra firestones and have 50+ suet. Although I have all the materials, I get a message saying I am not ready when I attempt to brew the potion. I notice that I have a dot on me when I enter the area of the hot springs.

I went back and completed the hearts, but it didn’t make any difference. Got plenty of mats, but cannot brew the potion.

I didn’t restart the story, which shows as completed. What is really strange is that the next day after I completed the story I was able to brew the potion. Now I cannot. So I cannot get the insight.

Basically the best thing ANeT could do is to unlink the entire Elixir making quest from the story.

I’ve done the story and everything.. even tried to re-do story but I’m getting two bug…

-Clumps of Frostbitten Suet are not dropping for me across Bitterfrost Froniter… killing any mob for hours.

-This heart npc Sun Warming doesn’t sell me Firestone upon complete heart.

What is going on Areanet….

You are not alone! Same here.

If you restart the story, you forget the recipe and lose access to its components. You have to replay the story from the first step to the point where you make the elixir again.

It would just be great to buy the kitten elixir from the vendors after you completed the story.

That’s not a bug. Anet recently changed the way those hearts work. If you did them once, the global map heart counter counts them as done forever. It was deemed as a bug it didn’t before.
If you do this with the Ember Bay ones too now, you’ll see the global map heart counter also sees them as done forever.

Any news on the subject?

Still unable to buy a firestone…

This kind of thing should not be happening in a game that is 4+ years old.

I would like to thank Anet and it’s devs for all the valuable information, updates and assistance provided on this issue.

I detect a little sarcasm here.

For now, Anet should just mail the ingredients or elixir whenever you enter the map. It would be a great quick fix. Still strange how something like this always bugs out…

+1

Hey, is this getting fixed anytime soon??? And yes i do mind doing story again….

Never had a problem with this bug prior to Tuesday’s patch. Went to Bitterfrost last night to do dailies (first time there since latest patch) and boom. Bugged. I can’t buy firestone. First time I’ve seen it happen.

Still bugged – No Grawl stone or Suet..

I agree this should be fixed. I got the same problem

Both wife and I still have the same bug as mentioned here. No suet drops and no firestones for sale. So sad.

i don’t get frosting suet drops
and I cant buy firestone
plss fix this

Same here. Unable to purchase the stone or get the correct drops from anything. Please help!

Same here. Unable to purchase the stone and unable to get the proper drops to make the elixir. Also unable to talk to the grawl vendor in the cave.

Edited to state about the vendor grawl.

I also have noticed that I cannot get fire stone on my guardian. I have all ready made it once on all my 9 character I have reactivated the quest chain to be able to try to get the slain the beasts quick achievement. not sure if this cause issue. I have also notice that some time I get the daily elixir rewards on different character. and those character are not even on the new map. something seams bug in this. do not know if the firestone bug and the daily elixir bug have something in common or not. or if those 2 issue are apart from one another. it will need some looking in to.

also I have notice that around 4 character did not receive any chest key on map completion. another bug? or you decided to not give key on map completion and after decided to give key back again?

Keys are never a guaranteed drop for map completion. For non-city maps, you’ll always have a chance of either a transmutation charge or a black lion chest key (with a greater chance of getting a transmutation charge).

Both myself and my husband started the story on Day 1 – got to the bitter cold “melt the waterfall” step and then had to log out for the evening. Now, neither of us can make the elixir, even with the items in our inventory (all freshly collected just in case). Because we never completed the story, we can’t restart it even if we wanted to. The hot spring just says “I’m not ready”.

Has anyone found a work around at all for people who never even completed the story in the first place? As I said, I still have access to the firestones/ suet etc from heart vendors, just can’t progress because the story is on the “Bitter Cold” step already.

Still can’t buy grawl fire stone… -_-

same for me can’t buy grawl firestone

well on each map completion I have always receive a black lion key. on all my character on all map. except this new map that I have received on 4 or 5 of my 9 character. the 4 or 5 other did not receive some. I done like 3 charector or 4 not sure then noticed my other one did not receive one then my last one received one.
