I’m having the same issue. I went through with a friend (second characters for both of us). My journal shows it completed, but when we finished the first quest in Maguuma, I wound up back in the tutorial. I can’t exit, can’t tp. My journal doesn’t show that I’m on the quest, but I’m stuck there.
Jofast’s Waypoint is contested. However, Warmaster Jofast and some of the usual group are there. Unfortunately, so are Risen. There is no event going on. This breaks down the whole Gates of Arah chain of events. So, Anchorage is contested, too.
Yes, the look is different but the recipe (ingredients) is the same. I am not disagreeing with you that there is something wrong with the recipe. I am pointing out that there are a lot of strange things in the crafting recipes. If I were to make a guess, I would say that the simple recipes might have originally called for just the ingots and the leggings failed to get switched.
Actually, here are a couple of screenshots. I have two identical recipes with just different names, 1 of which is a karma recipe. I also included one of the lower level karma ones that shows odd requirements. The recipe he’s talking about looks to be one of the ones you start with when you take armorsmithing. My armorsmith has the same recipe, and I know I did not level up making leggings.
You would have used karma, probably from a heart vendor. You’ll also notice how many you need of each item – it’s much more than normal crafting. Like I said, I could be wrong, but I’ve picked up a lot of the recipes from karma vendors. They’re mostly very odd like that. I have one on my leatherworker for whispering pants which is the same as a recipe I discovered, but the stats are different.
I took a look at my armorsmith (who has the same recipe) plus checked around my other crafters who have karma recipes. I think you’re right that this is one of the starter recipes. It’s not the recipe wiki has listed, and, like I said, it more closely resembles some of the lower level karma merchant recipes.
Right, but you don’t use the filigrees in the recipe – you use the filigree gems in the recipe. You make the gems, then use them in the recipe. You need to make 3 brilliant gems and discover the ring, earring, and amulet recipes using them.
I am having an issue where certain things I’ve crafted, specifically certain insignia, are not showing up in my Discovery Panel. I’ve attached a screen showing the items in my inventory, but not being available to craft.
Perhaps you’ve discovered all the recipes that use those insignia. There are only 6 recipes per insignia, so it’s quite likely. (head, shoulders, chest, pants, boots, gloves)
Your choice of guardian spirit has nothing to do with the quest. It is the result of choosing your character to have the important quality of Honor the Spirits. I don’t think the choice of animal spirits comes into a story at all, no more than the choice of a god by humans.
Saucermode is correct. Once you’ve learned all the recipes using an item, it no longer will show up in the discovery pane. Also, if you have an invisible bag, items in it do not show up there either.
In the chain of events, Jofast gets taken by the Pact, and then an NPC will show up ‘waiting for reinforcements’. When you talk to him, he’ll start an escort quest to Meddler’s. Shortly after reaching there, the event should go to something like "The Pact is strategizing at Caer <can’t think of the name>‘. Then, Warmaster Chan will spawn in Meddler’s to be escorted with some men to Anchorage.
Jofast being contested might just be the usual every 15 minute or so event where it goes under attack and needs to be defended, or it may have fallen and need to be retaken. The other day, Warmaster Jofast got stuck just outside of Shelter’s Gate, and that blocked the whole chain.
Yes, it works that way with all levels. You’re most likely going to get a common dye no matter whether it says (rare), (masterwork), or whatever. Frustrating but not a bug.
The event to take Anchorage (which is just one of the many steps leading to Arah) starts in Meddler’s. It might be helpful to know which server you’re on and what stage the Arah meta event is on. Is Jofast’s contested?
Trollhammer, oddly enough, my ranger also didn’t run into this while leveling, and she even took the option where she had to kill the krait in Maelstrom. My guardian, however, started running into it recently, in cases where I know my ranger didn’t have issues.
My thief pulls some distance, but not nearly as far as my ranger since pistols don’t have the range of a bow. Even if she is running into a leash issue (which seems unlikely since they will fight for awhile at that spot before turning invulnerable and running off), it hardly seems fair since we don’t turn invulnerable when we run from a fight.
Kazi, in my case, the mob came to me. I never moved at all. It came over to me while I was attempting to revive a castaway. I did damage and it turned invulnerable and left. I never had this bug until the last few weeks.
I have personally found that it is related to last time harvested. I have tested this with two different characters. Ori resets around 24 hours; ancient wood is considerably less.
At least some of the system mails count towards the 10 limit (although it doesn’t show in the count). I know the Halloween ones did, and others may as well.
It has nothing to do with choosing Priory, It has to do with choosing to help the skritt, which is the only race that all other races can choose. Hylek, skritt and quaggan are choosable by human, Asura, and Sylvari. Ogres, grawl, and skritt are choosable by Charr and Norn.
I had that happen with my Norn during the Halloween stuff. It’s a graphics glitch, and, thankfully, you’re the only one who can see it. It was fine the next day.
For me, specifically, it started when she went under water, came back up, and went down again. Her underwear and part of her skirt disappeared. On land, I also noticed that the area where her sleeves/gloves were was transparent, making her look like she didn’t have most of her arms.
Happens all the time. Anything from the Forge is a gamble. It might be awesome, it might suck, and it might be soulbound. It may be related to what you put in (for example if one of the items you used was soulbound), but it seems to be random in my experience.
I was in Frostgorge reviving one of the castaways. There were no mobs around. Partway through the revive, an Icebrood Norn (name may not be correct) swims up and starts beating on me. I have to stop the revive process because he dignificanyly knocked me down in health and I start attacking him. After approximately 1 hit, he turns invulnerable and swims off. I said screw this and left.
Yesterday, I had Risen kiting my thief. They’d run off, start to heal up after becoming invulnerable, and then head right back at me, running in a circle. They were also stacked so that I couldn’t tell how many were there – there were 4 when I started, 2 when I finally died. She also had it happen with centaurs in Kessex.
The issue has become increasingly prevalent. I didn’t personally run into it until the last three weeks or so. A lot of the krait quests have become virtually impossible to do.
That has happened to me more times than I care to think about. I spent hours stuck in a chest guarded by a champion troll because I was considered in combat and couldn’t waypoint. I’ve been told they consider using waypoints as a satisfactory solution instead of using /stuck. I don’t. /stuck generally allows you to move a short distance while using a waypoint may put you all the way on the other side of a zone if it’s contested (or you don’t have it unlocked). It also uses up plenty of silver, at least for me. I used to submit bug reports in game when it would happen, but it got to be so often, I stopped bothering.
I’ve noticed the same thing. It’s not a response to the number of people in the area, either. In the cases I’ve run into, there are few other people around, and sometimes I’m the only one. I noticed it in Lornard’s and the eastern side of Gendarran close to Lornar’s. I’d kill a dredge in the tunnel, turn around, and it would have respawned. It’s just crazy. It’s as if the spawn rate is permanently amped up for a high number of players.
Silly question here – are they copper ingots or bronze ingots? Jewelers, to the best of my recollection, are the only ones who can make copper ingots. Everyone else makes bronze ingots. Also, if you have an invisible bag, objects in it won’t show up.
No worries. Technically, the bowl of staple soup vegetables is used in other recipes and that contains celery, but you have to have that made to use it in the discovery panel. And you can always eat all that rabbit food
You can’t discover it because you have the recipe. Also, when an item doesn’t show up to be used for discovery it means either you know all the recipes it can be used in or you have an invisible bag.
Warmaster Jofast is retaking her camp. However, she is currently stopped just past the bridge where she remains, leaving only to kill nearby Risen. The quest says 1 dolyak remains, but it’s nowhere to be seen, which is probably what’s blocking her. The quest ‘shield’ isn’t anywhere around, either – just the ending marker. There’s no circle showing the current location of the quest.
I didn’t realize this was a bug until recently when another of my characters showed up and there were actually golems there. My main had managed the quest by putting all the little artifacts in the box since that there were no golems or anything else around to help get the heart. The artifacts give around 2% or so toward completion, which makes it very slow and painful to do. If there are a lot of people trying to do it (as there was with my main), it becomes even longer.
Jofast’s is working again. I watched no change through 2 fights at Shelter’s Gate then logged for a bit. It was working when I came back. Not sure what was going on there.
Tarnished Coast has a few other issues going on besides Arah. Jofast’s camp is stuck with 3 defenders remaining and about 80% or so on the Risen waves. No more Risen are coming. I was headed to Jofast when Shelter’s Gate went under attack, and when I saw those numbers, I figured it would be done by the time I got there, so I headed to Shelter’s. Instead, it stayed at the same level. I went to investigate – no waves of Risen, just a couple of NPCs left standing. The merchants continue to sell like they would if the event was over, but it doesn’t register. Also, Fia is MIA. She used to constantly run off looking for gorillas, but I haven’t seen her since the last update.
Ok, maybe I can help here. I first tried this with a friend on the same quest. We got stuck, quest didn’t progress, plus we kept getting eaten by the destroyers. We leveled up and came back later. What did finally get it to work (and may not work for everyone) is he went to Tchkik while I stayed back to res the other skritt. It was neither pretty nor fun, but the quest updated allowing us to finish.
I noticed this in Timberline killing krait to help the quaggan there. I would get a krait down a bit and it would move back (sometimes no more than a step or two), turning invulnerable. After about a dozen times, I gave up on it.
Also broken on Tarnished Coast. Anchorage is contested but the Gates of Arah are not (although the door is firmly closed and it clearly is not in the hands of the Pact). I can’t say for sure where it is stuck, but Warmaster Chan is nowhere to be seen and he’s the one who establishes Anchorage.
Thank you very much!
