I am in the city of harvest already and the quest says to hire a boat to go to norgard. I am at the ferry dude but when I ask him for passage he says that I don't seem prepared for the journey. If I just jump on the boat without doing the passage through him the quest doesn't get completed. Is there anything I should do to make him do the passage for me?
You may have just missed a step or keyword in the stuff before getting to Harvest. Sometimes its easy to overlook, maybe try retracing your steps?
Skip it and just take the ferry to norgard. I completed that quest line and "Go to Harvest" is still in my journal. You do not need it to get the end quest XP
Is this a bug? It sounds like this part needs feedback, well I haven't done it yet but just so we get these quests worked out before release.
Two things: 1. it should be placed in the bug section to get attention by our quest writers! (@Lum the Mad) 2. Not visiting Harvest takes the fun to find a nice side quest
https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...-passage-to-estgard-but-doesnt-really.104544/ -- no official bug number yet, though. I guess I should tag a dev in there again.
I smiled about this Sometimes I got the feeling, too, things would be bugged "forever". Well, now I would think: at least for a good while ... Let's say: it was bugged for a long time, but some day ... it was unbugged. The day isn't far away ...
One of my alts still has the quest from Arabella of "Enter the Lunar Rift" from the time of character creation! I've entered many lunar rifts with the character since then, but it never goes away. Another quest that seems to get hung up is finding records of the Obsidians for the researcher NPC in Desolis. Also, when doing the Path of Courage quest, at one point you have to visit Demig and Ferig. If you do one before the other (no spoilers!), you won't do the other, so the mission is stuck in your quest list "forever", too.
I did notice, while on the dock, the minimap shows a boat at the end that is labeled estgard, but when you get down there where the boat should be, there is no boat
