    The quest says "I'm not sure whether to lie to her or tell her the truth".
    The chat options are getting me nowhere.
    I have tried saying "Syenna is dead", "your sister is dead", "Syenna will be here soon", "your sister will be here soon", "Syenna will be back soon", "your sister will be back soon" and I have also written it in Spanish, since some quests have accepted the answer in this language. But nothing I say makes the quest complete.
    Should I say something else that hasn't occurred to me?

    When in doubt, say "help" to the NPC. It's often a catch-all interaction that can advance the quest.

    I submitted a change to add extra conversation options that should help directing you to the correct response.

    Amanda doesn't give me any new options.
    Some of the options and answers are:
    Help: "I´ll need no help until my sister returns..." or "Have you seen my sister?"
    Sister: "My beloved sister is Syenna."
    Harbormaster: "The Harbormaster of Etceter is a diligent worker..."
    Syenna: "I'm waiting for my sister, Syenna..."
    But there are no new options, nor does the "help" option give me more help, nor does the quest complete.

    Did you speak to the harbor master?

    You get these responses when the quest is over.

    Did you just finish the quest when you said "help" to the player? Please let me know if you still have the "Talk to Amanda" showing in your UI. This task may have archived itself when you said "help" to Amanda, or when you left Etceter.

    I talked to Avitas and he sent me to talk to Amanda and I got the quest "Talk to amanda".
    I went to speak with Amanda, I tried all the answer options several times and I wrote what I put in the first post, without the quest being completed.
    After your post yesterday
    I've been two more times and I'm still at this point:
    Whatever I do and whatever I say, the quest is still in my journal, and I haven't received any rewards either.

    I don't know how kisses sound in English, but in Spanish they sound like this and I'm sending them to the team: muaks muaks!

    If this helps any, I took a new character that has never been in Etceter before. *I* am able to complete this quest just fine (Step by step):

    [9:49 AM] Ghost: Oh! You startled me. You weren't who I was expecting... I must have misremembered my dates. Could you help me sort through my confusion?
    [9:49 AM] Ast: help
    [9:49 AM] Ghost: My sister, Syenna, should be returning soon... but I have become confused about exactly when that shall be. I ask of you this favor: Please find the harbormaster and ask him to confirm when my sister will arrive at port. I want to do as much as I can to make our home feel ever-so-festive to celebrate her arrival!
    [9:49 AM] Amanda the ghost wants me to ask the harbormaster when her sister is returning.
    [9:50 AM] Ast: Goodbye
    [9:50 AM] Ghost: Fortune favor you, outlander.

    [9:51 AM] Harbormaster: Welcome, human, to the free city of Etceter! I am Avitas, the master of the harbor, and I serve all who seek to book passage onward to Elysium and Xenos, ho hah! All it takes is a bit of coin and some patience!
    [9:51 AM] Ast: syenna (You need to manually type this word and press enter)
    [9:51 AM] Harbormaster: Syenna? Hoh, hah, why do I know that name...? Oh! You spoke with Amanda the ghost!
    [9:51 AM] Ast: Amanda
    [9:51 AM] Harbormaster: Hah ho, I know of Amanda's ghost. A victim of Obsidian experiments. Her mind is shrouded by the fog of time. She has waited centuries in her broken house for Syenna, her sister that will never return... for she also died long ago. Amanda's ghost will never know rest.
    [9:51 AM] I should return to Amanda and talk to her about her sister.
    [9:51 AM] Ast: Goodbye
    [9:51 AM] Harbormaster: Go, you must, go you shall, Xenos awaits you all!

    [9:53 AM] Ghost: Welcome back, outlander. What news from the harbormaster of my sister's return?
    [9:53 AM] Ast: Your sister arrives soon.
    [9:53 AM] Ghost: Oh, wonderful news! Your kindness is welcome in these troubles days. I'm so happy I asked for your help. Thank you!
    [9:53 AM] You gained 32000 experience needed for skill development!
    [9:53 AM] Ast: Goodbye
    [9:53 AM] Ghost: Fortune favor you, outlander.

    I think somehow Lilith Ayin somehow got into some kind of bugged state?

    Thank you Anpu!
    The character that is at that point is Isabel Ayin, but I also have this quest with Lilith, tomorrow I will try to do it with her, to see if the quest is completed and I will tell you what happens.

    With my character Lilith Ayin, the quest is still unfinished.

    Avitas: Welcome, human, to the free city of Etceter! I am Avitas, the master of the harbor, and I serve all who seek to book passage onward to Elysium and Xenos, ho hah! All it takes is a bit of coin and some patience!
    Lilith Ayin: Syenna
    Avitas: Syenna? Hoh, hah, why do I know that name...? Oh! You spoke with Amanda the ghost!
    Lilith Ayin: Amanda
    Avitas: Hah ho, I know of Amanda's ghost. A victim of Obsidian experiments. Her mind is shrouded by the fog of time. She has waited centuries in her broken house for Syenna, her sister that will never return... for she also died long ago. Amanda's ghost will never know rest.
    Debería volver con Amanda y hablarle de su hermana (This is in Spanish, in English it would be something like "I should go back to Amanda and tell her about her sister")
    Lilith Ayin: Goodbye
    Avitas: Go, you must, go you shall, Xenos awaits you all!

    -------------------------------------------------------------------


    Amanda: Welcome to my home.
    Lilith Ayin: Syenna
    Amanda: The Bay of Storms can be dreadful to cross, but I know Syenna will sail back to me one day.
    Lilith Ayin: harbormaster
    Amanda: The harbormaster of Etceter is a diligent worker, but I do not recall his name for some reason. If memory serves, the harbormaster traditionally spends his days at the Pilgrims' Docks and his nights at the Bilge and Barnacle tavern.
    Lilith Ayin: help
    Amanda: I'll need no help until my sister returns, at which time I shall throw her the most elaborate banquet!
    Lilith Ayin: sister
    Amanda: My beloved sister is Syenna.
    Lilith Ayin: Syenna
    Amanda: The Bay of Storms can be dreadful to cross, but I know Syenna will sail back to me one day.
    Lilith Ayin: your sister arrives soon
    Amanda: My beloved sister is Syenna.
    Lilith Ayin: Goodbye
    Amanda: Fortune favor you, forastero.

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    I try again


    Amanda: Welcome to my home.
    Lilith Ayin: your sister arrives soon
    Amanda: My beloved sister is Syenna.
    Lilith Ayin: your sister is dead
    Amanda: My beloved sister is Syenna.
    Lilith Ayin: Goodbye
    Amanda: Fortune favor you, forastero.

    -------------------------------------------------------------
    And again


    Amanda: Welcome to my home.
    Lilith Ayin: your sister arrives soon
    Amanda: My beloved sister is Syenna.
    Lilith Ayin: Syenna arrives soon
    Amanda: The Bay of Storms can be dreadful to cross, but I know Syenna will sail back to me one day.
    Lilith Ayin: Syenna is dead
    Amanda: The Bay of Storms can be dreadful to cross, but I know Syenna will sail back to me one day.
    Lilith Ayin: Goodbye
    Amanda: Fortune favor you, forastero.

    @Lilith Ayin , I logged into your character to check your quest state. I saw that you did complete your quest. However, the problem is that the task didn't archive itself. I'm going to double-check the logic which clears the task and add a special feature to Amanda's "hello" response to force the archive of that "Talk to Amanda" task if it lingers. This change should be in with an upcoming update.

    For some strange reason, Amanda doesn't work for me.
    I don't get any new options or the task is archived when I type "Hello".

    [​IMG]

    But if you say that I have completed the task, that's it, that's no problem. I'm sorry to have caused so much inconvenience, thank you very much for having attended.

    And for some other strange reason the screenshot I had taken to show it is not shown either. Pero yo soy así, si ha pasar algo extraño, me pasará a mí :confused:

    to copy an image link from discord, you want "copy link" not "copy message link"

    It's too soon. It can take a couple of days for one of my fixes to make its way to the Live server where you play.
