Daily Murkmire quest buggerd or what

Octopuss · February 2020

I'm about to lose it and smash something.
I'm doing grave subject matter quest. I've been running around the delve like a complete idiot staring at "collect ancient bones 4/5" and "collect ancient bones 1/2" in the quest tracker. The highlighted area doesn't have anything.
Is this crap bugged?

Waynerx8 · February 2020

Aye, it happened to me, got fed up, quit, logged in the next day and went to complete it, surprise surprise it appeared, so I think it's a glitch, another one.

Dojohoda · February 2020

That happened to me yesterday. I figured the items didn't spawn so I left the dungeon.

Neoealth · February 2020

The items seem to move around. And they are in stupid hard to find areas. You're not the only one to get annoyed by it. The murkmire delve dailies are tedious in my opinion.

Ragged_Claw · February 2020

I had the same issue, check the corners of the room for skeletons, my quest marker was appearing and disappearing, so annoying. The square room with an altar in the centre (with a bone on) had an unmarked skeleton in the right-hand corner. If that makes any sense. It might not help as I think they spawn in differing locations though. But I'm having the same issue with a lot of the quests where the markers shimmer in and out of existence.

Pyr0xyrecuprotite · February 2020

The marker for valid old bones can reappear later on a skeleton that you have previously checked. Just keep going around in the room/area indicated by the highlight on the map.
This quest used to be borked if you were in a group and someone else with the quest went ahead and looted bones when you were not in the vicinity, but the bones do seem to respawn after a while now. Worst case, relog.

I have just encountered this bug. Solo.

And Murkmire has been out for how long now?

markulrich1966 · February 2020

the skeletons are in the area marked on the map, but the quest arrows above them are broken. So you will find the last 2 of them just by walking around in the marked room.

When you stand directly in front of them, the marker above them reappears and you can use the skelettons.

Octopuss · February 2020

I found out the friggin skeleton to the right side when you enter the room (I think) has its quest marker disappear from certain (most) angles. That's bizzarely effing annoying.

oddbasket · February 2020

The third room, last circle on map, once you enter, go to the brazier on the right, there is a skeleton lying on the wall in the corner and the marker only shows up when you are very near.

Octopuss · February 2020

That's probably the one I am talking about.

I'm not missing two. Like the OP I'm missing one.

And the quest markers for the ones I picked up weren't broken and didn't just appear when I neared the skeletons. They were just like any other marker.

Three circles appeared on the map initially.

The first circle cleared when I picked up its bone.

The second two haven't. One of those shows 1/2. The other shows 0/2.

I have 4 bones in my inventory. That doesn't add up, does it?

I hung around for a while. They didn't respawn. Logged out and back in. Nope. Logged out for an hour and came back. Still not there.

Bugged as hell. No wonder they gave Murkmire away for free initially.

Running an event with buggy *** like this is a great way to recruit new players!

That quest has been bugged for like, forever. Quit it and start again. Drop the quest then go pick it up again, make sure to speak with the folk in the town you need to etc.

I have had exactly the same issue, running around aimlessly until I realised it was just bugged.

I'm inclined to think it's just not worth the effort.

The delves aren't especially close to wayshrines and obviously the quest could bug again, wasting even more of my time.

I'll just drop this now and always immediately drop this quest when I get it again.

Sometimes it is one, sometimes two.

I initially thought like you, so I abandonned the quest and restarted it.
Meanwhile I have done it several times (do dailies with 10 toons), and find the missing bone(s) ALWAYS in the chamber that is marked with the big circle on the map.
You can gnore interface errors, just go to that room, walk in every edge until you find a skeleton. At least for me that method worked out well several times meanwhile.

Thats exactly what I do when I am running content in Mirkmire. I just got too fed up. That said, with the latest Mirkmire event I have gone back and done it a couple of times now and it hasnt bugged, despite my expecting it to! And I sprinted around the delve really quite fast, when from memory I had it in my mind it took ages (in comparison to some other delvs)... but I think that perception was clouded by its buggyness.

No.

You're wrong.

I killed everything and looked in every nook and cranny of those rooms. Multiple times.

Nada.

or what

Depoorter92 · March 2020

And The weight of words quest has the same problem. Can't find the last fragment in the marked area.. And when you get a quest from Tuwul you have to travel outside the village to see the area of the quest. If you're still with Tuwul it shows a wrong location….

SeaGtGruff · March 2020

There's one quest, not a daily, where you have to find clues or evidence for an Argonian whose ancestor tricked an Imperial legion or whatever, and one of the clues is very difficult to find, but it's there if you keep looking. Quest markers that don't show up until you get within a certain distance of them within a blue circle can be very frustrating when you're having trouble finding them, but once you do find them you feel a greater sense of accomplishment-- at least, I do. It's more interesting than a quest where, for instance, you're supposed to follow a trail of clues to discover where they lead and each clue is marked by a quest marker that tells you exactly where to go from a long way away.

Gythral · March 2020

very low range on the 'actual' makers and they are often obsuired from 'plain' sight

Only way to do it is map the known locations

Gravestake placement - 1 or more are not even in the marked area!

Thank you ! Spent ages trying to find it !

azjuwelz · March 2020

Found it--it's in the big room, OUTSIDE the circle, top right corner behind a tree.

Rinthetharmo · March 2020

One of them are near imposible to find because it doesnt show up with the marker untill ur right on top of it, ive abanadoned these dailies many times so far, at first because i thought it was bugged and now because i just dont want to spend the time on something that doesnt get fixed. It is there tho, its just bugging out- still

Thank you, the last skeleton was located in that spot for me too. Quest marker didn't appear until I was standing right next to it...

Magenpie · August 2020

Completely off-topic but I do love it when you can tell somone's country of origin simply by their turn of phrase.

vgabor · July 2021

Quest still broken, just did try to do it and stuck at 4/5 bones.

Note to the mods: Do not close the thread saying too old, it's still valid. The thread being 1.5 years old just shows that you guys haven't fixed the bug since 1.5 years.

xosaara137ox · July 2022

July 2022, still broken.

Carcamongus · July 2022

Very old bug. The quest marker for the final bones may only appear when you stumble upon them. However, the bones do appear, so look around the room for skeletal remains. I know that place's dark and sometimes you have to interact with a simple skull instead of a full skeleton, but that's the workaround.
