    Title: QA 906 - Note isn't doing the blue highlighting effect in Battle of Highvale
    Reproduction Rate: 2/2 (qa and live)
    Blocker? No
    Details: The A note for Nena in Highvale paper doesn't have the "blue glowing effect" that all notes for quests in the "battle" scenes usually have (like Battle of Solace Bridge). When doing the Find Word of Nena's Charges quest, the markers are working just fine, but the note is not glowing blue.
    Steps to Reproduce: Have a character with the option to reset quests and reset all quests. Go to Battle of Highvale scene. Speak to Wounded Knight, get amulet. Speak to Samael, finish his quest. Speak to Dying Knight, receive Word of Nena's Charges quest. Go to the location noted below and observe the A note for Nena in Highvale does not have the blue glowing effect on the paper.

    It's intentional that the letter doesn't glow. Instead, the player is given compass markers that say "Search Here to Learn Children's Fate?" It's up to the player to discover the correct evidence near the search marker.

    It may be important to note that the blue glowing effect automatically compels a compass marker to appear; every quest item with a glowing effect will have a compass marker. However, we can add a compass marker that does not have any associated object.

    Ahh thanks for that information. Just having the marker, and leaving up to the player to decide what to do sounds completely fine. Thank you for looking into this!
