WQ Going Missing ?

[schwarzkopf]

I keep wanting to do this WQ on the broken shore, but it keeps vanishing when I fly to the broken shore ? Any hints about what is going on.

Been happening for a while now, I've not run out of my daily quota of those quests.

[TheWindWalker]

Yeah, me and a friend tried to get that every way we could. No dice.

[Golden Yak]

Yeah, the world boss that was spawned by the Nether-dealie is screwing up the quests in that location, overwriting them with the world boss quest. Which, if you've already done, just leaves the area blank when you're in the Broken Shore area. GG Blizz! Patches ruined forever!

[Carem]

There's a world boss standing in that area, overriding the quests.

[Pariah]

When you go there, it's replaced by the world boss that is generated by the Nether Disruptor. Still being able to see it on your map is a bug. The only way to complete it is if your order hall advancement has a trait to instantly complete a mission.

I was running into the same issue- if I had to GUESS, it's interacting strangely with the Nether Disruptor world boss- he causes all the demons in that upper area to despawn, and those are, I believe, what are required for that WQ.

AFAIK that only works for non-elite missions, so one with a gold dragon around it won't complete unless that got changed.

Now, the day both those went up I was able to do them on several characters. So while it could be a world boss phasing issue, it wasn't the other day.

I just used mine on it today, so it works on it.

Not on elite quests which this one is... that is assuming you are talking about the class hall ability that some classes get.

Normally it does not work on elite quest, but for some reason it did work on this one quest

It has always worked on elite quests, the only thing it didn't work on were elite quests that were filled in with blue, the regular brown quests were always completable, even the elite one. I used to complete the brown elites for AP during the first few weeks of having it, for the AP.

[schwarzkopf]

Well, the ones I have never worked on elite (dragon) quests.... unless they patched something in 7.2, it still doesn't.

'non elite quests' is the limit.

Ok so there are two different kinds of elite world quests, there are the easier ones which has a brown coloring in the background (like in the OP) then there are "harder" ones which have a blue background. The browns ones you could always use your WQ completion token on, even the elites, trust me, I did it in the beginning of the expac. But the blue ones you never could. hope that clears it up a bit.

The blue implied rare not harder. Almost all, if not all, non broken shore elite quests were blue which is why people were confused. It's rare and above you can't complete, nothing to do with elite. The quest isn't rare so you should be able to do so.

[gutnbrg]

wish i knew u could use the insta quest finish on it, i went and killed the world boss and now the other quest wont show up on my map

[Deleted]

Yes, I saw the same WQ on Broken Shore. And did the Azsuna invasion. Both were buggy. 7.2 has not been the smoothest patch.

yeah sorry, forgot blue was rare even though they aren't. But the regular elite WQ you could always complete with the token.

Incorrect. Not always - maybe recently (7.2 etc), but not always.

There are three different classifications of world quests:

1. Rarity : Common -> Rare -> Epic
2. Difficulty : Normal (circle), Elite (dragon)
3. Type: Pet, PvP, Crafting, Normal - determined by the centre icon inside the circle.

In bold and underlined are the ones it has 'always' worked with. This is from testing and from the actual description of the item created.
