Guild Wars 2

I can’t even pick up the scabbard…my character goes through the animation but nothing gets picked up.

The event chain advances to returning to the starting point, but the game does not recognize the sheath’s presence (as I can’t pick it up – it disappears as soon as I try).

After trying this quest four times and failing to get the scabbard (couldn’t tell if I had it anyway after picking it up) I ran back to the circle and ran around for 5 minutes. Eventually it jumped to the final cut-scene and finished out. o_o

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

There is no item, interacting with the scabbard sets a virtual flag that allows completion of the quest. We had too many issues with the scabbard being dropped, lost, or deleted, so removed the actual item.

Regardless of the reason, it’s a good thing you guys went this route. My GW1 ranger has been carrying a certain boss’s head around for the pass 2 or 3 years …

This is still bugged. Nothing happens after the scabbard is presumably picked up. I know it’s not an actual object, but that objective of the quest shows completed, and all I can do is walk aimlessly about with no guidance from Sieran.

I tried it again today, and it worked. Previously, the second objective (searching for relics) would complete, but the “Pick up the scabbard” objective would not open, leaving me stuck, so I think there is still a little glitch somewhere.

The only thing I did differently today was make absolute sure that Sieran was behind me, and not off fighting some pirate (which I ignored at first). I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I can confirm, that as of March 17th, there’s still something icky going on in this quest.

There are clickable “Dwarven Relic” items, but they’re just flavor stuff, totally useless. Now I’m totally fine with that, except that when you click them, your skill bar flipped as if you picked up an item! It just flips and goes back to weapon skills. Anyone would think that’s a bug. The catch is: The scabbard is right there on the lake floor.

So, if you’re “stuck on this”, just swim around until the “Search” part updates. Then, you’re close to the scabbard. Look for it directly on the ground. The rest updated fine. Just go to the marked “escape” area.
