    Problem with Gnomish Smithing DoN Cultural?

    Having a problem, was curious to see if the eq community has noticed this or can corroborate it. I posted also on my server forum and on eqplayers, no information there yet.

    Background: Gnomish smith, 190 skill, level 36. Completed journeyman smithing with no problem, wearing journeyman items.

    I can get the quest for the expert level book from Vidi Cogsworthy with no problem. However, when I grabbed a cleric friend and went to The Hole, my kills of the required mob were not incrementing the quest counter, and my loots of the drop of mercury were not incrementing either.

    I tried it in group, out of group, me getting the kill shot, me solo (not an easy task at level 36), and no combination of these were successful in getting the counters to increment.

    No information from GMs in game, and I did /bug report this.

    Any other gnomish smiths out there have this experience, or can advise what the problem may be? I know I'm killing the correct mob! For now, I'm either stuck on the progression or will have to wait till level 45 before I can request the master level (and do a lot more smithing).

    Thanks for your attention!

    Did the same with a friend of mine (he was a gnome wizard). What I ended up doing was letting him solo, I just Reverse DS'ing the mob. So long as he got the exp hit quest was updated. As a cleric, I could stun the mob without doing damage too, so it gave him time to cast spells etc
    Worst case senario, try deleting the task and re-asking for it.

      Did both of these, neither worked. Guess I'll be waiting till master level to do any more cultural smithing.

        I'm having the same problem with the quest in The Hole. I'm Human, but we have the same quest for the expert stuff. I reported it as a bug and logged off and on a couple times to see if it was any different, but no luck. Extremely frusterating. I havn't tried deleting it and getting it again though. Don't know why it didn't occur to me. Hopefully that will work cause I really want to make the stuff, dang it. I'm glad it's not just me though.

          At least I know its not just me now. I was afraid my UI wasn't displaying it right or something.

          The good part is that I discovered you can still make the armor from the old molds, you just cannot make the augmentations. I also discovered that the journeyman augs will fit into the Expert armor, so I now have a full set of cultural gnomish expert armor with journeyman augs.

          Maybe I can hurry up and get to Master and hope its fixed by then!

                  Give it a few years and it will be someone saying "I wonder if Ngreth broke something...."

                    Ok, it is broken.

                    Actually any task that requires the hole (or a few other zones where the data "set" has changed) is currently broken.

                    They are looking at a solution, but there is currently no ETA.

                      Ok, doesn't affect me because I'm not working on any tasks ATM...but any way to find out what these "other zones" are so people aren't spinning their wheels trying to complete broken tasks?
