PTS Update 42 - Bug Reports for Scribing (Quest, Functionality, UI)

K_G · May 1

The drop rate of ink from enemies has to be bugged. They literally don't drop at all. I tried Skyreach, all the zones in the scribing quest, West Weald in particular, the new trial - nothing. I know someone has been able to get drops from regular harvesting nodes - not surveys - and that the drop rate is really questionable. It would be nice to know if they're aware of this bug or if this is actually intended.

I'm not really sure how the devs want us to use the new system when it hits live without the currency. The ink you get from the quests is enough for 1/3 of the skills on one character.

Did the intro quest on a template character, got up to the bit where the Crow is walking you through Scribing your first Grimoire and the book didn’t show up in the UI. Work around was to log out and log back in and that made it appear.

Not related except for occurring in the same quest, but the magic construct things we fight in the intro shouldn’t exist at that point, the Gryphon hadn’t made them yet.

Finally finished the entire Scribing questline. All of the previous issues with the quests which I had encountered during the past two weeks appear to be resolved.

The current problem I now have is the one shown above about receiving a message that I muse own scribing when I try to use/learn a script. It does not seem to matter if the script is purchased or obtained as part of a quest reward from the scribing quests or from the various daily quests that reward them now. Scripts from both sources are generating the error.

Hi I had the same problem, completed the entire scribing quest on a regular character. Solution for me was to make a template char, you can select one with scribing in its template name. Logged in outside the portal to the scholarium, went in. Headed inside, message said scribing unlocked, was able to test trample. Logged out and back to my first regular char, and all the scripts I hadnt been able to use now worked. Hope this is helpful.

Another scribing-dominated patch, and still Adept Irnard is invisible to my copied level 50 character (355 CPs).

I'm still not aware whether ZOS acknowledges that some players have this problem.

When in the scribing UI there is a visual bug with the backdrop; the glowing columns are not getting blurred properly:

Yeah, I don't think I've seen any acknowledgement of the issue. I won't even bother this week trying I guess. I'm not going to through the hassle of creating a template character for it.

@ZOS_GinaBruno You guys are aware of this, right? It's 4 weeks of not working.

Are the class script scraps actually dropping since last PTS patch?

I have tried every type of event (except Trials) and have not been able to get them to drop. I have unlocked all wings but also tried just on the Indrik wing but cannot get a single one to drop.

Anyone else know what is going or the exact quest unlocks I need?

If you made a CP3600 scribing template character the achievement for class mastery scraps will have completed. You won't be able to get anymore scraps.

That's what happened to me.

Quest part "air walk in Labirithion" is broken. I'm stuck on the second platform.
1 Try 2-3 days ago: felt down, reappeared at the beginnig of the second walk. There was no way to trigger the fox to start running.
2 Try today: i have to start the quest from the beginning (but there was a small patch in between, so maybe that was the reason). On the second air path interracted with the two first sigils - fox went for the second part. Then i was probably to slow, managed only one sigil, then the others desappeared. What also desappeared is the first part of the air path. Only solution was to fall down. Problem: you can trigger the fox now (problem solved by the small patch?), but he only goes to the first stop point. There are no sigils, nothing you can do. The further path exists but is invisible. I tried multiple times to fall down and start the path again - same. Logging out and back in diddnt reseted the quest this time, but there is no way to continue.

It would be also good, to made the air path better visible. Violett clouds over the bluish backgroud are hard to see (for me at last).

v10.0.4 - The "walking on air" quest also failed to reset for me when my character fell off the path.

The crow's questline reset, sort of, after I quit the game and then started it up again about an hour later. On logging in I found my character was back in the Scholarium. I had to go into the Archmage's Wing and repeat some early stages of the questline (but not all). Once I got back into Labirithian the sky walking quest had reset properly and I completed it OK.

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback thus far! We have the issue with the Dragon Quest tracked and should have a fix in an upcoming PTS. It appears most likely to happen if you've completed the objective in the base game in that area. There's not a work around at the moment, except to wait for the fix, but it is coming!

I am also stuck here on live and thus can't continue

Cannot find the item in Deadlands for Wing of the Gryphon.

Quest does not have valid quest markers.

I am getting an inventory bug with scripts when depositing items in the bank. When I scroll down the list and reach the scripts. My entire inventory goes invisible.

Crismac · June 15

I found the issue. Using a controller and having these 3 addons active Votan's Fish Fillet, Votan's Fisherman, and Votan's Fisherman Export causes the supply and banking inventory to go blank when you hover over scripts. I deactivated those 3 and everything works fine using the mouse or controller FYI if someone else has this issue.
