Alchemy and Enchanting crafting not working properly after update 44

Gingaroth · October 28

I went to do my daily crating writs after the update, and found the system didn't recognize I already knew the reagents and runes:

Alchemy:

Enchanting:

My character knows all alchemy reagents, all essence and aspect runes, and all potency runes up to her level. These writs should be no problem. Luckily, I could still complete them by unchecking 'quests only' and selecting the right runes/reagents manually. This was the same for other characters I tried afterwards.

I hope this can be fixed and doesn't mean I have to re-learn everything for the stations to funcion normally again.

PS: Thanks for adding the quest markers to the stations, though. That's a very nice improvement, very convenient!

It's under Known Issues in the Patch Notes.
It'll get fixed, sooner or later, don't worry...

Edit, I mean... Maybe I didn't understood properly your specific issue and it is not the same thing noted in the Patch notes, but they are aware there is an issue at least XD

We have Alchemy and Enchantment Writs noted under known issues for this update. We will have this resolved most likely in our next incremental patch. .

Same here. I was able to do both writs though. I just manually put together the enchanting one. For the alchemy one, I had to look up the recipe requirements on a link here: https://benevolentbowd.ca/games/esotu/esotu-alchemist-writs/#writ8

Try using Craftstore and Potion Maker add-ons in the meantime, I got to complete my dailies with those.

So "Bugs and QoL" means "introducing bugs and reducing QoL"...

TaSheen · October 28

Huh. I didn't have this issue doing crafting this morning, on anyone. Maybe because I use Dolgubon's addon?

Thanks for letting me know about the known issue.
I'm not sure this is the same thing, as it's not about a quest marker but about the menu when interacting with the crafting stations, but maybe these problems are related and will get resolved at the same time.

okay ... question: When is "next incremental patch" scheduled?

katanagirl1 · October 29

Is this bug going to be fixed in time or will it be pushed to console patch in two weeks?

Meiox · October 29

this bug will be fun on console, with no add-ons to work around it

If you uncheck the 'quests only' box, you can choose the right components yourself.
It's a bit more work but you can still complete the writ without add-ons.

Alchemy and Enchanting is annoying enough with the help of the marker, without them I will have to look up the right components every time on my tablet.
Maybe you can memorize the right components for all quests, sadly not me

Annoying bug!!

I also use both those addons and had no problem with my writs after the update yesterday.

Greetings,

This thread has been moved to the Bug Reports section, as it is better suited there.

Thank you for your understanding.

Perhaps that will work, but these types of bugs should be elevated in priority because I don’t think we get as many incremental patches as PC or we don’t get them as often, so we end up dealing with the bugs for longer on console.

Do consoles not display the effects of each ingredient the way PC does? I've never used addons, and was able to craft glyphs, potions, and poisons for Enchanting and Alchemy writs long before the QoL changes which added the "quests only" option to crafting stations. Is it fundamentally different on consoles? If so, how did console users complete writs before QoL changes made things a lot easier?

Gingaroth · November 12

This bug has been fixed, the stations are working properly again.
Thanks!

Not fixed for PC EU.
I've been doing dailies in Vivec City, still no quest markers for enchanting or alchemy.

Calastir · November 15

Both were fixed after maintenance on tuesday.

they do display effects.
it's a frustrating bug but we can still do writs on Playstation, it just takes a few seconds longer.

I find it absolutely hilarious that I've not experience this issue at all until today, over two weeks after the initial post. Three days AFTER they were "fixed." PCEU and PCNA. I'm not sure that fix means what they think it means.

Calastir · November 16

Both were fixed after maintenance on tuesday for PC NA, but just found out they're both broken again for PC EU.

Not for me... I'm on PC NA and it is still broken. I had updated my addons and I'm not using any that affect crafting or quest stuff so I'm sure it's not that.

Did my crafting writs on both accounts just now.
Alchemy and Enchanting working perfectly fine on my PC NA account, but not on my PC EU account.

The patch note says this fix was delayed, so they never claimed to have fixed it:

Calastir · November 17

And now alchemy is broken again on PC NA.
It didn't mark my quest options even though it affirmed that I'd made the potion before.
It worked fine yesterday.

Calastir · November 18

Now both are broken again on PC EU.

DarkD3athAng3l · November 18

It's not only the writs that are broken, it's also the level indicator on runes...

This was on my main with craftil lvl 50

Disappointing this could not be remedied prior to console release….
