Vaults of Madness quest did not appear

molyforest

I just ran through Vaults of Madness on normal mode and the quest start marker did not appear at all. I hadn't done VoM on this toon previously. I had not entered that part of the map yet as had not completed the quest objective for Army of Meridia where you enter the chapel for the council of war, but I entered the dungeon as the group leader. Maybe the quest didn't appear for us because I hadn't "legitimately" entered that part of the map yet?

I asked in zone chat and another player said that they did not have any trouble starting the quest, but that it bugged out after the 2nd boss.

There were also very few corpse loot drops. I picked up about 5 items from the whole dungeon despite it being scaled to my level. I was heals and loot only dropped from enemies that I took down personally. Bosses dropped no loot at all.

Maybe it's to do with my add-ons. If no one else had this problem I fully accept that it's on my end, just wondering.

Hey there @blueyonder,

We've had this happen a few times in the past with various dungeons. If the group leader is further along in the quest, there is a "Point of no Return" where the dungeon advances with the quest and certain portions of it change, which usually makes the quest unavailable in the beginning.

We suggest entering the dungeon alone to see if you are able to grab the quest. If not, we ask that you open a ticket with our Customer Support department, as they'll be able to assist you with this. Thanks for your patience!

Just completed the quest but the quest npc at the end never appeared for us to do the turn in. We tried have the whole group log out and back in and also go out and come back in to no avail

Thanks for your response Gary.

I didn't get around to try to going to pick up the quest alone, but I did go through with a group and get it. But, the first time we went through, the quest bugged after we defeated the second boss, Ulguna Soul-Reaver. The quest was still saying that we needed to kill her. We exited the dungeon, abandoned quest, and reentered the dungeon - we were then able to start the quest again, and this time to play it through to the end.

I love playing ESO and it's not too difficult to be patient when it is so much fun.
