i have the quest "ask alchemist for medicine" in solace bridge outskirts. it says to talk to the alchemist. i talk to him and it just opens the buy / sell window and does not progress the quest.

i have logged out and back in again and it still does that.

 

See my step to step guide here: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...ge-outskirts-the-complete-quest-guide.160964/

Now head outside and head to the East. Look for the blue Alchemist marker on your compass and go there. Find the Alchemist and speak to them. Click the Medicine keyword. Click the help keyword. Receive the Obtain a Fresh Zombie's Olfactory Gland task.

 

@morilina, turn off "skip conversation with merchants"

 

yes, it was the skipping conversations that was the issue. sorry that i did not get that posted sooner. bloody holidays. ^_^

and it would be great if could not skip conversations on merchants that have quests. that would make it easier to know when there's a problem vs a setting issue.

 

fix needs testing as of 1495

 

Not sure if the fix ever was put in main game, but a returning player Hrzl had this same issue today.

 

fix needs testing as of 1528

 

Tested on QA with new toon. Confirmed working as expected.

1. "Skip Conversations with Merchants": Enabled
2. Skips conversations with blacksmith, adventure trainer, craftsman trainer: as expected.
3. Did not skip conversation with Alchemist while quest "Ask Alchemist for Medicine": as expected

 

Confirmed on live in build 1529, , with "Skip Conversations with Merchants": Enabled I received the Obtain a Fresh Zombies Olfactory Gland quest.

[10:20 PM] Alchemist: Shhh! Quiet is required! The undead are about!
[10:21 PM] Good day, traveler. Need any alchemical paraphernalia? Medicine? Help with zombies?
[10:21 PM] Ast: medicine
[10:21 PM] Ackerley: You say one of the refugees needs medicine for his fever? Well, I'll need you to first help me with a task.
[10:21 PM] Ast help
[10:21 PM] Ackerley: I have a theory that "fresh zombies" still have their olfactory senses and use them in stalking their prey. Be a lamb and incapacitate a fresh zombie, remove its olfactory gland, and return it to me? I need only one gland. You should be able to find some fresh zombies in the graveyard across the road. But becareful of my scent-emitting devices therein!
[10:21 PM] Give a Fresh Zombie's Olfactory Gland to Ackerley
[10:21 PM] Ast: Goodbye
[10:21 PM] Ackerley: Farewell, traveler. Be careful.
