I've just spent ages levelling up my weapon smithing so that I could complete this quest. however, now the quartermaster won't accept the "improved bronze shield". Screenshot attached

 

I have tried moving in and out of that area, and logging off and back on, and the problem persists.

Could be something to do with gem slots. Heard someone else had a similar problem elsewhere. You may have created the item with a gem slot when the one they are looking for requires none. Obviously this is a problem and should be fixed to allow both an item with or without, but if you're looking for a fix before they do a hot fix you could try this...

[sdcrichy]

yes i had the same problem, you have to make the shield again until you make one with a gem slot in it.

 

not sure if this is a bug or HCS have made it like this to make it a bit harder to finish the quest.

[rowbet]

Given that it requires pure bronze ore, I would certainly hope this is a bug. That is particularly because this quest blocks a stream of other quests. requiring (potentially) multiple craftings with rare items for a quest doesn't seem appropriate.

 

If it isn't a bug, then the quest should stipulate what is actually needed.

[Anakiro]

It's an oversight. Those crafted rares have random chances at sockets, so I've replaced the shield with the Improved Lithistle Bow, which should come out exactly the same every time. Having an item in there that required a rare component was probably overkill anyway.

 

The fix will go out with our next build.

cheers Anakiro, that should make it easyer.

 

but i am bit disappointed it's took this long for a answer back about this.  i put this in the bug forum about a week ago and never had a reply. i said to someone last week that my post's never seem to get answered much by HSC when i tell them about a bug.

I'm really sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. Last week seemed to be right around when everyone wanted to take holidays. I know I was out of the office myself.

 

Also, please know that all threads in the bugs forum get read! We're working on content and features for you guys at the same times as getting to bugs right now! If a bug's not game-breaking, it will sometimes be put on the backburner until someone can have a look at it. We definitely appreciate every anomaly you guys report!

Just tried this stage of the quest with my second alt, Quartermaster Lynch won't accept the Improved Bronze Shield shield (no sockets). did anyone find a solution?

[Irradiated]

Yes.  Either:

1 Keep trying until you get a socket

2 Wait for patch, quest will require normal bow rather then rare shield

[Fizban]

Thanks Irradiated, so it actually requires a socket on the shield?

[Alpion]

It seems to have worked with a socket...so that's the key for now.

[Fizban]

Yep, completed it with a socketable shield:)
