Betnikh: Unearthing the Past

When killing the cultists (inside their ritual area) they are not spawning any motes at all.
There are six motes necessary to charge the Staff but none can be "captured" because they aren't spawning like they should be when the cultists dies within his ritual area.

On the plus side guess we don't have to wait for the Abomination of Hate to spawn if we cannot even get to that stage of the quest. :disappointed:

    Seems like this is hit or miss. As many people don't have the problem as do. Unfortunately I'm stuck. Spend the best part of the two hours trying to figure this out, and didn't see a single mote drop in all that time.

    Just saw this myself - the required NPCs are not spawning.. which is odd because they're not a phased NPC. In beta one of the quest phased NPCs would block.. but now the unphased ones are missing. weird

    I definitely had no issue with this quest. There are some cultists that have a circle around them, that definitely do not spawn any motes, but this is by design. I think it is necromancers perhaps that do spawn the motes. Maybe I'll start a new character and check again, but it shouldn't really be having any issues with spawning.

    Tons of people running around the area, after an hour of trying, I have ZERO motes. This quest needs some attention as it is not well designed.

    Yeah theres something every wrong with this quest, theres always people running around killing everything and no motes. Friend and I spent hours here and no motes.

    So after 4 hours (2 early this morning and 2 just now) I finally got all 6 motes.This quest was bugged during beta but it was the abominations not the culitist. WIll be a real nightmare if these things cant be sorted out before official launch.

    They seem to be leaving the circles up when they're not supposed to. I found one spawn point that worked, where a cultist would appear, create the circle, and start the ritual. Killing that cultist dropped motes. The other ones would not, because their circles were not disappearing when the cultist was killed.

    Also had difficulty on the Isle of Beatnik Orcs, with a quest requiring you to dual three warriors. Only found one that could be interacted with. The rest were stuck at partial health and not responsive.

    Your intestines told me so.
