How to Get Solstice West Side Daily Quests?

Furyous · November 23

I’m trying to finish the Solstice achievement, but I’ve noticed something odd with the daily quests.
The east side quests don’t increment the achievement counter when completed.
Only the west side quests actually count toward achievement progress, which makes them essential for finishing the achievement.

The problem is that the quest givers repeat the same east side quest over and over if you interrupt them before accepting, or if you abandon after picking it up. Because of this, I end up with about twice as many east side quests compared to west side ones, which makes it hard to complete the achievement.

Is there a way to reliably get a west side daily quest?

Any tips or tricks from other players would be appreciated!

Ask in zone chat for quest shares. Or get friends to pick them up and share.

After the last few days I don’t really have anyone left to share with, and people in zone have started putting me on ignore because I was asking too often.

I also didn’t realize until now that it was the east side quests that were broken, so I’ve just been grinding whatever I could get for the past 5 days. Out of all those completions, I’ve only been getting credit about 1 out of 3 times.

Sadly until the fix the issue those are the only options open to you.

All of the standard zone dailies don't work like the Tip Board - you will not be able to reroll them every day. They'll only offer the same one per day and you need to wait until the next day to get a different version.

There are 6 in total, so over 6 days you should see all of them. You can also share with others, but people are really burnt out on Solstice right now so there are unlikely to be many people doing them.

I ended up logging in all my toons on my main account to get two sets of quests on the west side and shared those to my second account.

So now all I have to do is share them from my second account back to my first account each day to do them on multiple toons. I should be finished by tomorrow, I got tired of them after doing 6 of each today.

PS my second account does not have Soltice but I was able to share the Soltice dailies to it.

That's a handy trick. Get a set of dailies that you can solo, share them with a second account, then each day share them back. And see if the ones that are for that day also work for the achievement.

Why didn't I think of that, I just did the western ones for 30 days straight to get that achievement. Well, I did have to skip one day because it gave me eastern quests when they weren't supposed to. Of course, the time consumption just to share those quests would put me off. So, it is just as well that I did it the long way.
