The way I see it, the contracts are sort of random. So... "Blackest Sacrament" is kinda like hunting Daedric generals with anchors, except that the chances are a bit better since you always get someone... just as you get closer to completion, you get less and less chance of getting the mark you need...

i'm not sure if it is that random, i'm missing Tabeda, Steidor, Savilian, Eslendore, Alard and Andilo, but somehow i've been stuck on Herminius and Lamzakha, which i already killed dozens of times. today i started to reject that job, because i got tired of killing always the same guys, but every time i go there to check the quest i always get Herminius and Lamzakha. so, i believe that it may be random until a certain point but then there's some kind of glitch that prevents us to get a different contract.

Blackest Sacrament im missing 5 guys and its random i think . But you need to do daily to change them or else it may give you the same target

The quest is not totally random, since everyone got the same every day. But it is at least a little random, since some quest has been here two or three time since launch, but some hasn"t showed up yet...

Ok guys...

Could someone really look into this.

I have taken the time to check this quest EVERY day since the DLC launched. For NA PC/Mac server, ALARD CERONE has never showed up.

First, it would be ideal for quests that are daily to check to see what aspect of an achievement is missing and then provide a random from those that are needed. Alternatively, take the daily constraint from the quest and allow folks to continue to perform it until they find the missing mob.

As it stands, there are three different locations all random and then 5-7 mobs per location. When you are down to just one needed for the quest completion that works out to (0.33)*(0.14)=0.04 or a 4% chance of getting the needed mob. And that's assuming you actually check each day.

This is the kind of difficulty I would expect from a unique polymorph or broad based ability like a long duration zero mana inis or something.

@ZOS_GinaBruno please provide an update on this at your earliest convenience...

Thanks!

The sacrament target changes at some point during the day, as my friends and I noticed. Alard Cerone has shown up, as I am on PC NA and have the achievement/memento. But he took over a month of constantly checking in order for me to find him and in fact was the last one I needed for about two weeks. And that being said, I've been asked to kill Geon Alinie, Lamakza and Runweril about a gajillion times.

I can say that I did the assassination missions every day consecutively and I got the achievement with only 1 day of both targets being repeats. Maybe I am lucky.

@rwross

Alard Cerone is the target right now PC/NA/EP.

Not bugged.

Everyone in the server gets the same daily quest every day. Depending on when you pick up the quest during that day, you will get one of two possible target sets to kill for that given day.

I completed it before the last update so i know it WAS possible and would assume it still is. You just need to get lucky on the random targets that are generated. If it makes you feel better i was doing the quest daily with two toons and one of them still hasn't finished. (the other finished a couple weeks ago now).

I completed it.. I logged in every night to play for a few minutes and as I got less and less, I saw that I had a few repeats for a max of 3 days, then I would get another name off my list. All in all, out of the 20 names, it took me 40+ days. But I tried every day.. if it was a repeat, just knock it out anyway.
