Shadowfen: The missing quests

Draxys

Oh and that overworld boss is Capt Bones Ship, which is bugged anyway. I've been there 6 times and waited a while 5 of those times, no spawns.

Sakiri

Heads up, got this on my sorc and only thing she did different than my dk was make Driliks crown.

Intimidate/persuade screws your quest count.

AngryAttorney

I don't know why they can't fix this, just reduce the amount of quests required. Pretty sure 62 is the highest out of all the zones, don't quote me on that. Also, throwing in Daedroth Larder in Coldharbour while I'm here, I just want to complete things and stuff.

Wulfhen

Honestly, they just need to stop the freakin' locking of quests. If for whatever reason you've passed further into the quest chain, you should still be able to get the quest but have the quest giver immediately complete it with you with some blurb of "I was worried about this village.. but I've heard you've already done this and this there! Thank you for that, here have a little reward for your troubles." For the ocd of us who want to do all the quests, it would make the game a lot less frustrating to play. Damn cruddy design.

Stormbow

Same here. 57/62 with the entire zone looking cleared.

KaccDalian

61\62 ;[ all quests finded with help of ESOHead map, cheking all dungeon.... fail.
Find 2 quests in complete locations when have 59 (im blind XD) but still 61\62

huntgod_ESO

61/62 as well...but I swear I've done Eyes of the Enemy.

Fissh

61/62 as well. I have done all the supposed "hidden" quests, dungeon, all quests in Lorisal, and traversed the map for hours on end. My ocd has conceded to waiting for a fix. Simply posted to add to the numbers of complaints to maybe help bump this issue's importance.

So contacted customer support since I'm 61/62 cause I missed a quest out of order so I can got back now and do it. Here was their response.

Greetings Adventurer James!

Once you missed the quest and haven't done it by the correct order, you miss getting the achievement James.

I understand your frustration regarding this issue, but now you know how to get the achievement correctly.

To get the this, you will need to do the quest all over again with a different character since there is no save game option to roll back to.

And the ESO team shows their ignorance yet again. *sigh*

Each character has their own achievements, so this won't help characters missing quests. And we also shouldn't be penalized when it's THEIR bug! If there are no more quest markers in the zone, then that zone is DONE, and we should have our achievement. Spewing out bullsh!t like that just makes them *** as well as ignorant.

If we don't get the promised fix with Craglorn there is going to be hell to raise! And if we DO get it, why the hell isn't support telling people that instead that cr@p like above?! Seriously ESO, monkeys could handle support better than these clowns!

sblank32nub18_ESO

This is what I did. I used zygor guide latest version it got me 59/62 then I started looking myself and found the lightning one. Then the other two I got from the video. The lute one and the person looking for stuff that was a slave. That was 62/62 without even doing the group dungeon quest. Maybe this will help. Good luck!

Sadae

@sblank32nub18_ESO - Dude! We can't go back and do breadcrumb quest steps that were already skipped! So no, that doesn't help. This has been explained over and over and over in these threads. Nothing will help. Nothing! The only remedy is for ESO to fix it!

LadyLothi

I literally turned every stone in Shadowfen, I talked to lots of NPCs, read all the books and parchments, asked all the questions, I did the group dungeon and I'm at 59/62.
I know there are places where quests probably were supposed to be (like the ship at the foot of the hill on top of which Atanaz is located) but I just have no one to give me that quest.
Reading that there will be no possible way for me to get that achievement now - while not exactly gamebreaking - is a bit of a disappointment.
I truly love the quests, I find the writing entertaining, the questdesign refreshing and varied. It makes me sad that I missed so many of them, although I tried my best to do them in the correct order.
Should it really be that easy to miss out on three or more quests?

I question that email response from ESO support team. I, along with many other guild mates, have also put in support tickets. Either they are still not answered or the answer given is extremely broad and useless. I do understand that an achievement is low on the to do list, especially sense we are only a month or so into our game. For them to talk to you on such a personal level is unheard of. I don't want to call you a liar, cause what do I know...really? So instead I will say; maybe you got the disgruntled employee response?
This is in fact a bug, and not working as intended. Some support person named Alex either didn't know this and supplied a misguided answer, or he/she simply does not exist.....
Another point to make; was your email to them full of spiteful banter? That will not facilitate good responses, not from any company usually.....

Maurelle

I also put a ticket in as I am at 61/62 and completed all quests in Shadowfen, also had issues getting the achievements for some others that I completed. (Giant Friend, Rescue Skald King and Arrow of Jorunn.)

Here's the response I got from support:

"Response By Email (Alicia) (05/08/2014 01:01 AM)

*A small, female wood elf appears out a dark mist*

Greetings. I am Alicia, an Arch Mage fresh out of the Mages College. *Bows and smiles at you.* The scroll I received says you are finishing quests but not getting your achievements. Understandably frustrating. It is not a failure to complete the achievement, its is a spell placed upon you by dark forces. Many are afflicted with this spell at the moment. We are working hard to come up with an counter spell to free you from it. There is nothing you must do. We will take care of it, have no fear.

Mages like myself work with magic, Templar's like yourself fight evil in depths of dark dungeons and bring light and goodness back into this world. We will fix this. Just continue on with your work and before you know it the achievements will appear. It may take some time, but your can expect it very soon in an upcoming patch. Thank you for your patience. If you have any questions simply call my name and toss out a scroll and I will return to your side. *Bows and returns back into mist from which she came, calling out of her shoulder*

May the Divine guide your sword,
And Azura light the way.

Farewell my friend.

Now, considering I don't see any mention of this in the patch notes for V 1.0.8 that they are working on today, I'm guessing they're still working on it.

I am pretty sure I have found every quest in Shadowfen with "Xxxxx Xxxxxx" as I have scoured the map several times, but I am still stuck at 61/62 quests. Could you tell me which quest I am missing? Or is it a quest that I am unable to complete due to completing other quests?

I've got a slightly different question related to this topic... I only recently realized that I've completed only 57 of 62 in Shadowfen. I'm Vet 3 now. Is there anyway to go back and get what I missed or am I SOL? I've run all over the dang zone and I don't see any quests

sovreign

Im at 60/62
Run over all of Shadowfen. twice.
When is this getting fixed?

These 2 quests are all I have left for the 'Pact Hero' Achievement, and its what i want to display. Being told that the quests have to be done in the correct order is ridiculous, seeing as there was no indication of this requirement.
I doubt the Online Team would say such a thing, And if they have said this, Then they really need to think about what customer service means.

Use video with 6 missed quests, i think u complete all cave quests... then mb look near pyramids from south east near city, next with wisps ( more southern)
Find secondary quests of main locales

Loligo

I wondered if I was the only one experiencing this. I'm at 55 or 56 done... I've been exhaustively through the whole zone, even to the point of hitting spoiler sites... there are quests I simply can't find.

I gave up and moved on to Eastmarch, where I found there were more quests than the number required for the achievement.

I am the same, It bothered me enough after running in circles for hours on end that I looked up the quest list. I know I missed the Breadcrumb Quest Overrun because I had completed that town before going to Hissmar. And I probably missed other two as breadcrumb quests as well. If things have to be done in a particular order to get the achievement, then it is contrary to the design style of Free Roaming. They may as well revert to dumping people off in the Tutorial starter Islands if they are going to pull this crap.

Reignskream

At 60/62 currently, and i ran all over that map, have everything else done besides 2 quests. (lorebooks, skyshards, etc).

Can't find the last 2 if it counted on me.

I got 62/62 and still found 1 more quest to complete and did not follow any type of storyline, if i saw it i did it. BUT I will say i had to come back after i got stuck in my early levels and came back at VR6 to finish them but luckily after 3.5 hours of searching i found them all and got the achieve

KnightDraco

Here's how I got 62 quests in total for Shadowfen:

Make sure you complete Arx Corinium (the group dungeon in Shadowfen), as it counts towards the achievement. I always use persuasion/intimidation but at the same time try to follow the quests in order. I had 61/62 until this morning when I completed Arx and got my final quest and Achievement.

Side quests that are easy to miss:

- UNBRIDLED WEALTH: a traveling Argonian merchant lost her guar and a valuable ruby to crocodiles in the swamp. Location: south of Stormhold, on the road to Stillrise Village
- THREEFOLD FOLLY: Dunmer lost his lute in a riddle game with an Argonian. Location: on the road headed west from Alten Corimont. Dunmer on a ledge on the northern side of the road right outside the city.
- A LIFE OF PRIVILEGE: a Breton slave in the middle of the swamps trying to flee Shadowfen. Location: West, North-West of Percolating Mire.
- CATCH THE LIGHTNING: A researcher and his apprentice are experimenting with an amulet that protects the wearer from wamasu lightning. Location: South-East of Loriasel Wayshrine, there's a bridge and road leading to the mountains from Chid-Moska Ruins.
- A POISONED HEART: "While wading through the swamp, I stumbled into a cloud of roaming poison gas and passed out. Two Imperials rescued me and asked me to help them clean it up." Location: near Hatching Pools Wayshrine to the South.
- A FINAL RELEASE: an Argonian believes his mother's remains lie in the swamp. Her spirit is unable to return to the Hist. Location: Deep Graves, quest only triggers once Deep Graves is cleared!
- THE SWAMP'S EMBRACE and VIGIL'S END: both quests are inside Loriasel (Ayleid Ruins) left and right to the main chamber, easy to miss if you use persuasion/intimidation in the Mnemic Egg story.

My experience is that with the Shadowfen story quests (even if done the shortest possible route), public and single dungeon quests, the above easy-to-miss side-quests and Arx Corinium (the Group Dungeon in Shadowfen) there are JUST enough quests to get the achievement. Also I can confirm there are no side-quest givers located in huts/houses.

I hope this helps, sorry if some of this was already covered.

That can't be, i had 61/62 as well and arc corinium did not give me 62 when i completed it. Unless its some type of bug. But I did do Arx alot earlier than you so maybe it was something that was fixed and not dropped in the patch notes.

Yeah that must be it, because I promise my 62nd quest was Arx. Took a screenshot too... which I don't know how to post... but here's a link to it:

I was 61/62 before i did Arx Corinium.

"Force of Nature" is the Quest inside Arx and it gave me 62/62 which i am 100% sure of because it was the last Quest i was missing for the Achievement.
