Guild Wars 2

my friend was trying to get the cold resistance buff, the pool took all the ingredients but did not give the buff, 2nd time he got there with all ingredients, he gets not ready yet…

I just tried to make the elixir at the hot pool — it took my grawl stone, berries, and egg shells. I did not get the buff and the daily did not update.

This is my first try at the daily elixir since the story came out.

I too am unable to get the buff, though my situation is slightly different.

I had to stop midstory yesterday (after successfully receiving the buff) as it was getting late. Log in today and the buff has expired on the character and I die to the cold. Weird that the buff didn’t carry over like every other PvE buff in the game but w/e. I gathered the ingredients and the pool just ate them without giving the buff.

So, I (or at least my main) cannot continue/finish this LS chapter. Which is really garbage.

If it helps, I did not complete the Quaggan Karma Heart in the hot-spring area. I can’t think of any other data that may be helpful.

Update: I managed to successfully obtain the buff after the most recent patch.

As a precaution, I deleted all of the leftover ingredients (suet, eggshells, firestone) from my inventory and used the winterberries for magic and collected everything fresh. In the same sitting, I made it over to the hot springs and “made” the tonic. The dialog hung for a couple seconds but my character commented on the smell and gave me the buff.

I hope this helps anyone who might be stuck.

The same thing happened to me this evening, AFTER the latest patch.

I had previously successfully made the elixir as part of the story, yesterday. When I tried to make it today to reacquire the buff, it took my mats but did not give me a buff. I re-gathered the mats and went to try again, only to be told I wasn’t ready yet. I gave up for today.

I posted a reply to get around this in the other thread about this same problem.

I have a problem similar to the OP— I have the stuff, but it keeps telling me I’m not ready. The spring can be entirely clear of enemies, I can have enough stuff to make three potions and I’m not ready. The pool doesn’t consume my ingredients, though.

I have what could be the opposite problem. I had the buff, was about to do the instance in the area that needs it and logged out for the night. Came back in a few minutes ago an the buff was gone.
