Signal Fire Zephyr Achievement Bugged?

NovaShadow · December 2016

I've had this happen on 2 characters now. I light the last fire with between 10-15 secs left on the clock, I jump down and talk to her but I don't get the achievement. The timer disappears when I light the last fire, I definitely haven't failed them as there was still time left when the last fire was lit. And yet, no achievement.

Is this a possible bug?

The lockpicking achievement works. The timer disappears when I open the last chest, I've gotten the achievement. But this one, won't register.

I believe we are given 1 minute for the quest, 10-15 seconds means you have used up at least 45 seconds. The achievement is for 35 seconds or less.

The lockpick one is also 35 seconds or less, not sure the time on the quest but guessing it's also a minute.

Yup. Got both achievements on my first try, the lockpicking one is easy enough if you make no mistakes and have no lockpic snap, the firelighter was a bit close even on my quick stamina nightblade, but doable enough without having to add rapid manouvre or any other speed buff, so...

I only did the event on two characters last night - lockpicking was easy and I got the achievement on first try for both characters. I didn't get the signal sprint for any of them.

Might have to respec to stamina for this one? I'll try with one of my stam chars today and see if it's more doable.

I had no problems doing this on my magicka characters. Plot out a course ahead of time, (I like to start with the NW fire), pop rapids, chug a trash stam pot to restore the stam that rapids took, and go.

My magdk was even accosted by a guard (forgot that I had a bounty from mudballing Ayrenn) and despite pausing a couple of seconds to pay my fine, I still got the speedrun achievement. Don't need anything fancy--just an efficient route.

Agreed that it's all about plotting the route beforehand. I went NW, NE, SW, SE, and completed the achievement first time, no skills or pots and only 13k stamina. It's definitely doable.

You get 55 seconds.

I think it might just be lag, and not necessarily the sort you notice. Just because you see yourself in one place doesn't mean the server agrees once communication catches up. I had no problem getting the achievement on some characters, and on others didn't get it and was pretty surprised.
