Quest: Baan Dar's Boast

Mordria

Anyone know if this quest is bugged? After I poison and kill the stranglers I get no stems.

traigusb14_ESO2

Yeah, has been for about a week. Sorry.

Mordria

Thanks.

Jagath

just submit a bug report and hopefully they will fix it soon

Mordria

I did.

Yeah, apparently this quest has been bugged for about a month. I have been trying to finish it for the past 3 days as I do other quests around the area and nothing. Not one poisoned stem drops, and all the people I have seen trying to do the quest also can't get any poisoned stems.

I got them in about an hour recently. From that I'd say it probably isn't totally broken...but it seems like the drop rate is way too low.

traigusb14_ESO2

It worked the 2 days before the last big patch, because I did it then. Was a 100% drop.

I spent about two hours on it until I got all three. Leveled twice, filled my inventory with vendor junk three or four times. I don't recommend this path.

It's not like you get anything of note from beating the quest (just a junky reward), so just come back when they fix it.

Hahahaha..

Oh, man. Thanks for the laugh

It is still bugged. The poison lasts about half a second and you seemingly have to kill the strangler in that half second. I have killed dozens of stranglers by doing Crushing Shock IV and then E to Poison With Dark Poison and then repeat over and over. About seventy percent of the time I get nothing at all. and the rest of the time I get supple roots which don't count. This quest cannot be completed.

baan dar is bugged,it seems the only way around is to keep killing the stranglers,it took me about an hour to get the 3 required to move on!!

NoxOculis

Mitrenga

Yes, still bugged. This and the traitor's quest.

We wanted to pop in and give you folks a quick update. We have identified a fix for Bann Dar's Boast and will be pushing it in an upcoming patch.

JamesCooke51_ESO

Good. It's been driving me crazy. When can we expect the patch?

Calipto

Look at ZoS being all productive! keep up the good work guys

Mordria

Great news! Thank you, Tristan.

Just one of many fixes that should have been deployed today.

just tried this quest today. (VR10 version) after killing at least a dozen, and getting no poison stems, I just said "enough", reported it, abandoned it, and moved on. its a shame to, as im trying to avoid having to go to craglorn and grind it out(im VR11, with 1,600,000VP till VR12) and me having to skip this one quest may have crushed any hopes of that. hopefully they fix this quest at some point:/ I am a patient person, and I understand the game is still new, but the ESO era of bugged quests needs to come to an end.

ThatSpazChick

This quest has been broken through two patches now. I just tried to do it for a third time yesterday, even abandoning the quest and starting over to see if that helped. I spent 20 minutes trying to get a single stem and nothing. I'm VR2 now and I have been patiently keeping it in my quest tracker since I got it at the appropriate level. I really just want to get it done.

Well, some complaints on other threads have been that ZOS sometimes pushes things too early and ends up breaking others...just look at 1.2.3.

I can be patient as long as they thoroughly test their patches before releasing them.

Coming from a Mac player (laugh all you want), I am still waiting for them to fix the memory leak issue, even though they claimed they did in previous patches. But, they haven't.

Still bugged

If having outleveled the place it by random do not offer any drops as you gotta pick them up or something... it seem to be my issue when I was trying to do it.. think I was like 1-2 levels above the max level or something when was on my DK in that area.

As of how system is.. if you are level 48 you wont gain loot other than crafting mats from eg. level 41 mobs.

Innocente

Just in case it is not 'fixed', here is what the sequence is to get the drops -

* Damage a plant to the point that one more hit will kill it.
* Start using the poison skill on it; do NOT hit the plant yet.
* Watch for a green ground fog around the ground; it is very faint and difficult to see. It does not last long.
* Keep poisoning it until either you have to kill it and regen healh, or the green fog appears.
* When you see the ground fog, do NOT poison the plant again; kill the plant immediately!

The green ground fog is very hard to see and does not last long at all. It also pops only maybe 1-15 poisonings. Hopefully, the quest will be made more doable. But if not, this technique works. Note that your level does not matter to the drops; only killing the plant while the fog is on the ground matters.

So I figured I would res this thread for a bugged treasure chest I found after going through the portal to the tropical beach area. I am unable to interact with it. Anyone else see that? Did some searching but I haven't found anyone who's mentioned it.

Other parts are glitched too. 1) the area where you place the barrel to play one of the pranks doesn't bring up a contact/interaction point. I left it for a little while and came back. It was there later and I was able to place the barrel.

2) On screen "use wand of fowlfire" doesn't consistently show an icon for the controller button when trying to cook chickens. The words appear, but on XB1, there should be a little green A button icon that should appear. It only happens sometimes.

Here are pics of the chest and location.

That necro...why not create a new thread for this?

Maybe I misunderstood forum decorum. I thought it would be preferred that I did not create a new thread.

Ah yeah, it's generally better to start a new thread and not necro; it's against forum policy or something. People tend to get sidetracked at the "necro" bit like me
