Yes Wisdom of the Druids

 * This issue is already open and has been reported ArenaNet_talk:Quest_bugs. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  17:38, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed by a recent patch: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Game_updates/20090917 . I've tested and confirmed the fix. shadguy 12:48, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Admiral Kantoh (Zaishen quest)

 * I've submitted this issue, thanks! --Michelle Juett 22:58, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

NoAttribute Points Quest Reward Crystal Desert
Prophecies Character has quest and lead up quests done however the NPC which gives quest has no quest to give and character is 15 points shy. Again both quests done, Droknars and Crystal Desert yet points not given or alotted and no way to regain quest
 * I was not able to reproduce this issue, but this particular part of prophecies tends to be confusing. Players often mistakenly think completing The Forgotten Ones gives them 15 attributes. In reality the two quests that give 15 attribute quests are Forgotten Wisdom and The Hero's Challenge. If you have completed both of these quests and still do not have credit, you will need to contact support for us to look at your specific character as that would be an error unique to your account. --Andrew Patrick 00:35, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

NoGolem Tutorial Simulation

 * I could not reproduce this, M.O.X. correctly captures the Areas each time I tried this. Do you have any specific steps to get this to occur? Screen shots would also be very helpful. Thanks! --Michelle Juett 19:22, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I had the same thing happen to me. I had completed the M.O.X. quests and gotten my reward but still decided to do the tutorial for the first time. I pinned M.O.X. at area one before the timer started to save time and the dialogue stalled like the person above said. 58.106.158.34 17:27, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

I am having the same issue. I am doing the simulation for the 1st time (for purpose of War in Kryta quests), and have tried multiple times (including waiting for entire dialogue to finish). After Mox turns the Area One blue bar to full, the quest breaks as the next dialogue to go to the next 2 areas does not kick off. I have added screenshot above where the dialogue is frozen. --Apache 04:32, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I also have this issue. The first time I tried the quest, I sent Mox to capture area 1 before Zinn finished speaking (which stalled the quest).  I have now tried several times on different days, waiting until Zinn finishes, but to no avail.  Have resigned out to retry (no luck), restarted GW (no luck).  I cannot get this quest to work. --Epinephrine 21:10, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes Pogahn Passage: no Zaishen Mission quest is available
Fix: If a Pogahn Passage Zaishen Mission quest already exists, add it to the Zaishen Mission quest rotation, if not, create one and add it to the rotation. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 05:37, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Note that the Quest issues template doesn't have a "fix" parameter. --Silver Edge 19:53, 20 November 2009 (UTC)


 * WHY has this not been fixed yet??? >_< [[Image:User Rose Of Kali SIG.jpg]]Rose Of Kali 14:11, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed in the March 3, 2011 update and Pogahn Passage is available as the Zaishen Mission quest today. --Silver Edge 03:55, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Zaishen Bounty - Molotav Rocktail
The option to get the bounty does not appear above the NPCs head. I have 1 completed Zaishen bounty in quest log


 * This tends to happen when you turn in a completed Zaishen Bounty within a few days before the same Zaishen Bounty is offered again by the signpost. This doesn't seem to occur with Zaishen Combat, but I don't know if this occurs with Zaishen Missions. --Silver Edge 05:43, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

red The Eternal Grove - Hard Mode mission and Shiro's Return Hard Mode mission book
I went through the mission as the only Human participant along with 3 Heros and 4 Henchman. In my pack I was carrying the Hard Mode copy of Shiros' Return, with all but 2 slots filled. The Eternal Grove mission is one of the unfilled lines. Completed the mission with all 12 Tree Singers surviving. Afterwards I did not get credit for the completion of the mission in the Shiro's Return book and did not have the option to pay 100 gold to have it filled in by the poet in Kaineng Center. I don't know if this matters but this is not the first book I am filling. In Game name is (name removed), e-mail at (e-mail removed) if you need further information. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.1.78.233 (talk).
 * You probably completed The Eternal Grove in Normal mode, because you forgot to switch it to Hard mode in the party window. Or when you completed The Eternal Grove in Hard mode, you had two Shiro's Return Hard mode books in your inventory, one with The Eternal Grove already filled in and one with The Eternal Grove not filled in, and you had the book with The Eternal Grove already filled in placed closest to or in the first slot (upper left corner in the Backpack) in your inventory causing that book to get The Eternal Grove page filled in even though it was already filled. --Silver Edge 04:10, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

red Seek out Brother Tosai

 * It's not impossible to learn Quivering Blade for the Skill Hunter title. You can unlock it by either using Balthazar faction via a Priest of Balthazar or using another character that has completed the quest chain to capture it. Then use an elite warrior skill tome on the bugged character once the skill is unlocked. --Silver Edge 06:40, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * OK fine, I was tired when I posted, forgot about B.faction and runners. :-P BUT, having a workaround for getting the skill doesn't address the fact that the quest is still bugged. If you abandon, it comes off your list but doesn't actually reset the quest chain so you can't restart it (like you can with any other abandoned quest AFAIK). This bug also permanently sets the Am Fah near the Undercity to "neutral," which I'm pretty sure isn't supposed to happen. It's nice for getting quickly through that part of the map, but it still needs to be fixed. -- Tekn0mancer [[File:User_Tekn0mancer-Awaken_the_Blood_19px_sig.jpg]] talk 14:43, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I never said it wasn't bugged and didn't need fixing. I just noted other methods that can be used to learn Quivering Blade until the bug is fixed. --Silver Edge 21:14, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * According to a recent post at Talk:Seek out Brother Tosai, this bug doesn't occur anymore. --Silver Edge 05:41, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

red Wanted by the Shining Blade: Wanted: Insatiable Vakar quest

 * Well it is highly likely that this is not a bug after all. After successfully obtaining the third quest today, I agree with another user that it is likely that these are going to be daily changing quests, similar to the z bounty ones. Arrowmaster 22:47, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

red Wanted by the Shining Blade

 * This is working as designed. Characters are limited to (3) Zaisen Quests, Zaisen Bounties, Wanted: quests. The wording on the denial message is immaterial-- it applies to all of the Zaishen-style "extras" that have been added. 68.59.41.150 04:01, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Troubled Lands
Troubled Lands will not count down the ones u killed.I even abandoned it and got it over and still wont let me get it done.

No Mustering a Response

 * Is this still an issue after various WiK updates? He doesn't appear to move differently from the other named NPCs, who all move somewhat faster than the generic refugees. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:44, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

In the Army Now (Kurzick)
Area: Cantha - Kurzick Territory Quest: In the Army now (Kurzick) (Dienst fürs Vaterland (Kurzick)) Problem: If one of the added kurzick-soldiers dies during the quest, it could be possible that none of the remaining ones can be added to the group to finish the quest. Instead of the possibility to add one of the last kurzicks, the in-game quest marker tells me to go to recruiter Sigmund. Sorry for the bad English 

Molotov Rocktail (Zaishen quest)

 * There's a well known oddity: if you don't zone after getting credit, the game doesn't "refresh" the quest for your toon. That sounds precisely what happened with the one toon affected. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 01:23, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Divinity Coast

 * You don't have to take them all the way to Minah, but you do have to walk far enough into town to get them close to the fountain. (As it turns out, talking to the Lionguard coincidentally accomplishes that task.) This is similar to how it works with other quests that include trailing NPCs: Mustering a Response, In the Army (Kurz/Lux versions), etc. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:47, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

War in Kryta – can’t continue nor abandon quest

Riverside Assassination

 * Checked in with Murro -- turns out I had not witnessed "Evennia Recruits the Ebon Vanguard." Witnessed, and then Lashona and Lovisa (but not Bauer) available to me again.  Did those bounties again and now Riverside Assassination is available.  Got some extra war supplies, so I'm good. :-)

RIVERSIDE ASSASSINATION' problem : i have completed riverside assassination + wanted kimlii, when i got the reward from kimlii first ,then from riverside salma didnt gave me the next quest" a litle help from above ".

Yes The War in Kryta

 * This was apparently fixed by Tuesday (21 Dec) update. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 01:05, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Asuran Allies

 * I cannot replicate this. I have toons that have not even started Zinn's task and a friend whose account does not include NF or MOX. Both of us have successfully completed WiK. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 03:12, 27 December 2010 (UTC)


 * My character had completed Prophecies and "The Knowledgeable Asura" and had Zinn's Task ACTIVE (but not complete). With Murro's quest obtained, still could not get Chark to appear. Once "Zinn's Task" had been completed, Chark did show up. Have other characters with "The Knowledgeable Asura" quest (only) complete (with M.O.X. but WITHOUT "Zinn's Task") and Chark also appears as "scheduled". Undouble 16:35, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

red Salma not transferring War supplies
My gf and I were in same party working on WiK content. We completed the recruit Asura and Ebon Vanguard missions, then went to LA Keep for rewards. We both accepted the quest rewards from Salma, but no war supplies showed up in either of our inventories.
 * Salma doesn't offer War Supplies for those quests, only for Shining Blade Bounties. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 18:09, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

red Riverside Assassination

 * You have described this as a suggestion rather than a bug; although you disagree with the level of difficulty, this quest is working as intended. I recommend that you create an official suggestion, which you can start here, which is the area reserved for your suggestions. (Although developers rarely respond to posts there, they often incorporate the ideas into the game, including those about balance and challenge.) — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 22:04, 1 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I really think it is a bug for this too be so much harder than the other quest. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.246.159.197 (talk &bull; contribs) at 11:58, 2 February 2011 (UTC).

red Douse Your Enthusiasm
&mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 97.113.165.221 (talk &bull; contribs) at 20:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC).
 * Are you saying the quest disappeared from your quest log? Or that you cannot find the quest marker anymore? If the former, festival quests are now supposed to disappear after the festival ends. So if it happened today, that might have been annoying and frustrating, but it is not a bug; the game is working as intended (personally, I think you should get some sort of warning, but ... I'm not in charge). — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:52, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Once a festival ends, festival quests are removed from the quest log whenever a character loads into a new instance (outpost, explorable area, district, etc.). The IP posted 18 minutes after Canthan New Year 2011 was set to end, so this is most likely the case. --Silver Edge 07:22, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Kormir's Crusade
I have tried re-entering the zone as well as completely closing GW and reopening. Nothing has changed.

red Watch It Jiggle (Ooze Pit)

 * If you're already rank 8, you won't get more points for doing it in Normal Mode, you need to move on to Hard Mode. -- FreedomBound [[Image:User_Freedom_Bound_Sig.png|19px]] 01:42, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Zaishen Quest and Lieutenant Langmar daily quests

 * Was that the first time you logged on that pre-Searing character since turning in the Lieutenant Langmar quest that is being offered again? If yes, then you're experiencing the bug noted in the Notes sections of the Lieutenant Langmar and Zaishen Challenge Quest pages. --Silver Edge 04:05, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Insatiable Appetite (Nightfall Quest)
Autoduelist 06:45, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

red Thirsty River (Prophecies Mission)
Autoduelist 07:20, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

I think I figured this out. The mission is different from when I did it ages ago. The ghostly hero and timer stops the moment the boss dies. You have to single click on the ghostly hero again to make him follow. I double clicked so the ghost did nothing and didn't display the "I'm standing here" dialog. The first time I single clicked on the hero there was some stuttering until I reached the next gate. My party "jumped" across the screen similar to when network packets get lost and your character is in different location then when you last saw them. But the mission appears to be working.

red A Tasty Morsel (Nightfall - The Ruptured Heart)
Autoduelist 09:39, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

I figured out that the walkthrough description bug for rezoning was incomplete. The player has to select Abandon Quest in a town in addition to rezoning to avoid the bug. I updated the wiki with the new information. I filed the bug initially because it was unclear whether there was a code regression (ie - it used to work) with the quest and the work around.

No Destruction's Depths
did not recieve credit in my hard mode book

--The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.141.73.84 (talk &bull; contribs) at 02:25, 27 April 2011 (UTC).
 * When you completed Destruction's Depths in Hard mode, did you have a Hard mode version of the Hero's Handbook in your character's inventory and did you have more than one of them in your inventory? Also, does Gedrel of Ascalon, Kodan, Tyr the Skaald or Lexx offer to fill in the Destruction's Depths page in your Hero's Handbook (Hard mode version)? --Silver Edge 04:41, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
