master aug book quest probs

I have been doing the acrylia caverns task, where you need to kill 80 sanctum mobs and loot 20 toes. Yesterday I collected 7 toes (off sanctum mobs) but only 4 of them registered as looted. All of the mobs I killed there gave me task update message so all the toes should have registered. I bugged it each time it happened, but was wondering If there was something I had overlooked or If anyone else has experienced this.

have you checked if it has to drop from a certain mob? there is a difference if they drop from a_mob1 and a_mob2, its not enough that its from a certain zone.

[Boleslav]

I agree that it sounds like a bug. If killing the mob triggered a task message, then the loot should count.

There are some cases where different mobs drop the same loot and not all of those mobs count toward the task. One such case is Thought Horror models in The Deep for the Dwarf quest. Only the mobs with the words Thought Horror in their names counted toward the task, Horror Guards (same model) did not count. I could understand drops from those mobs not counting.

But in his case, killing the mob triggered a task progression message. So clearly, the drop should count.

In the book quests I have done (not Acrylia) looting the correct item from any mob worked, it didn't have to be looted from the mob specified to be killed. If it was from the 'correct' mob then you have a double check that it should have worked, sounds like you did the right thing bugging it.

Were you grouped at the time? I've noticed that some of the quests update the loot when a group member loots, while others require you personally to loot.

[KyrosKrane]

Did you loot them personally? (As in, were you the one who pulled them off the corpse?) That was the problem for me; if someone else looted, it didn't count.

Are u sure u are looting the item u need off the right mob? I know in acrylia that even in the sanctum area that not all mobz are sanctum and that the ones that are looted from the non-sanctum will not count towards the quest.

The naming requirements are very specific in aug quests. For example 'a goblin laborer' in Stillmoon Temple does not count as a valid mob for the patch of goblin skins. The mob must have the name 'stillmoon' in their name to count. It sounds like you've a similar problem if not every Grimling is named Sanctum whatever.

[Greymantle]

I have had the same thing happen, i am now at 223 grimling kills (sanctum) 15 toes looted ten counted. Buggged and petitioned. No help from either. I have given up on this for now.Wayyyyyy more trouble than its worth. Exspecially given the dearth of the great reptile teeth to actually make the stuff.

I have been having the same problem in Stillmoon, and it seems to be tied to whether the mob is an "instance-specific" mob or not.

Most of the mobs in the zone, even though it is an instance, are just normal mobs, but there are certain ones that you HAVE to kill to complete the instance--for example, the Warlord. He is surrounded by guards, and those guards can drop skins, but looting them did not give an increase in my quest count.

I think the instance is treating those mobs as something different than it treats normal yard trash, and as such, they aren't counting toward the total.
