Oh Oh Oh! Vault wipes. Such fun! Now all we need are a few PINGs to make it feel even more like home!

There appears to be five quests, one associated with each of the paintings. We can complete four of them, but one (something to do with Shards) is activated but not complete. It is finished off when you touch the Forest painting, but I can't figure out (either from Chogon's cryptic clue or just by touching the "fifth" of everything) how one completes the Shard quest. BTW, this info comes out of the python.log file.

Where is the "forest painting"? i have looked and not found it. i have found 5 paintings but none look like a Forest painting.....

I hope it's okay to say, but I heard maybe early next week.

It's actually the Woodsy Clan painting. In the Majestic Realm area with the green hedge.

Ok so I assume to get into the forest we first need to complete quest #5 / "Forest Portal Rune" / "CRT:Shards". Call it by whatever name you will. Stage 2 is "Find Willow's Portrait", this part is obvious. Stage one really baffles me though:
Find the Shard of Fire
Find the Shard of Stone
Find the Shard of Shadows
Find the Shard of Treasures
What are these shards, and how do I find them?
According to the relevant kNodeChronicle's:
Q5_Stage = 1
Q5_Status = received
and none of the Items (Fire, Stone, Shadows, or Treasures) has been found yet

Select one of the 4 quests and click accept. In your topleft text bar it will say what to collect.

As far as i can remember there is only 1 quest which asks you to find 4 things, but I can find no 5th such item.
So it must be from one of the other quests. Clicked thos all again, but no luck. Vault wipe seems like such a big thing to just see if a bug works, but I hope we then can find it all. :twisted:

feels like climbing a barrier in the City and then fall through a missing plane.

i cant repeat any of the quests, none of the "buttons" will activate...so i am stuck, no forest until update

but it is great to see things working so much better, the only major bug remains the Wandasorus

Yes, Mac.. same for all of us probably... the Quests start and go on for about two rounds of goals then stop posting the next goal. Then they are inactive in the Quest list.

I think most of us are seeing this, and I have at least one Ticket response where Cyan acknowledges that this is not how it is meant to be, and that they are working on the resolution.

I realize that this means that it feels like there is little to test (since we can't re-start the game fresh) but I am hopeful that the next release will allow us to search farther.

Cheers,

According to my sources, only this mysterious quest 5 is meant to be repeatable. In regards to your quote (apologies if it was answered elsewhere), quests only show two rounds of goals because they are complete after that. I think it would be helpful if it indicated the completion somehow. (Aside from checking other sources. Mwahaha)

*Ahem* Anyways, I hope they get things fixed in the next build, (even if that means giving us better hints in case we aren't doing something we need to be doing)

Well, completion of a quest is shown: the split booksymbols become one symbol for each of the 4 quests, and then you can't select the quest anymore as it is done.
I think also that these 4 quests don't need to be repeatable, the aim is to find a certain rune. Once your magi has it, she doesn't need to redo those quests. Unless your rune can be stolen, lost or broken. :lol:

'But I don't think MQ will be that kind of MMO.

Right, that might rune the experience.
