Quests in Ystra Highlands not abtainable although, they are taking into count for Collectibles

I'm in the same situation, and I'm also stuck here in the collection. I hope some improvement can be made regarding this issue. I'm sure there are many other players like us, and it would be great for all of us if this could be fixed.

Quote from Xanadú

Regarding Quests in Ystra for Collectibles, there are 2 Quests that seem not to be obtainable.

id 420276 is a daily quest, but it is not available anywhere (for me and some other players, compare Collectibles thread), also the required item does only drop from these mobswhen having the quest active.

In the following screenshots and video you can see, that the Quest has a predecessor 420275, which can be completed by "new characters" and after completion the follow-up daily. But for me the quest does not appear. There seems to a an internal flag 540803.

This flag is not set for my main Char Xanadú, but other chars, that "freshly" complete the 420275 quest, get this flag set correctly.

I will link a short video and additonal information i harthered from testing with different (newly doing pre-quest) character.

the other quest is id 420292 Minotauren sind der Feind. As far as I remember from the past, there was a quest where you had to choose either one of the possible outcomes, which opened a follow-up quest. This follow-up quest was different, depending on what you chose before. But resulting in only one of the quests being able to obtain. So I suggest, this quest to exclide from the Ystra collectibles counter. And maybe the other, above mentioned quest, as well.

I think regarding the Minotaur one, there was only one option. kill the minotaur or heal him, either way, you had to choose one way and could only complete one quest, making the other one unobtainable. So I guess, some people had one, and other people might have the other one, but nobody might get both of the minotaur quests.
[15:35]Regarding the daily quest, yeah, maybe it is bound to a festival and a daily within, in queststate i have no quest available at the moment. Can you see when the quest was completed, so we can figure out what festival might be the right one ?

I tried the prequest of 420276 with an alt char, this quest is id: 420275. It also requires the same item. It is easy to complete and easy to obtain, as there seem to be no pre-requisites. I was in the same group, but it was not possible to obtain the questitem as it is bound and it makes sense not to get it when not having the quest...but worth a try. However, when I completed the quest 420275, there was a short action performed by the respective NPC Atlank 110242, where a mob was unfrozen and came to live. Once killed, the alt character was able to obtain the quest 420276 which is a daily quest. The is an internal flag being set id 540803, this flag opens the daily quest for the alt char, but my main char has this flag not set, although it have all quests completed long time ago. I attached a short video. I guess the flag was not set originally when i completed the quest and there might have been some change to the quest itself. Maybe you can check the conditions for flag 540803.

The quest, although it was marked with a blue exclamatin mark, appears as normal quest in the log, not as daily. Also, there seems to be no reward indicated in the quest.

One more observation. The quest apparently does not count towards the daily quests at all, as the char has already all dailies completed, still can accept this quest endlessly.

From VERY old Patchnotes back i the days, this quest was changed apparently, but it makes no sense in my opinion^^ the quest can be done endlessly, but it does not give any reward and no follow up quest....weird

You are totaly correct in this matter, still devs declined this already 3x for some reason

Hello,

I investigated 420276 [Bringing the Dead Back to Life] further using the current CoA quest data and the old Runewaker event script.

My current character state is:

420275 [Fossil Resurrection] = completed

420276 [Bringing the Dead Back to Life] = not completed

540803 = 0

The current QuestDetailObjectDB still requires:

420275 completed

540803 = 1

for 420276 [Bringing the Dead Back to Life] to become available from 110242 [Atlank].

There is also an important detail regarding how 540803 works.

In the old Runewaker event script, both 420275 and 420276 use:

LuaQ_420275_Complete

The event flow is:

1. LuaQ_420275_Complete starts the resurrection event.

2. Before 100277 [Ancient Giant Wolf] is spawned, the script executes:

SetFlag(TargetID(), 540803, 1)

3. If the creature is successfully killed, LuaQ_420275_Dead gives the success item and executes:

SetFlag(TargetID(), 540803, 0)

This indicates that 420276 is not a normal daily quest. It appears to be a repeatable retry quest for a resurrection event that did not successfully reach its normal completion state.

The current CoA database still reflects this structure:

420275 [Fossil Resurrection]:

iCheck_Loop = 0

420276 [Bringing the Dead Back to Life]:

iCheck_Loop = 1

Requirement: 420275 completed + 540803 = 1

Reward: none

420276 also does not use a normal daily quest group/control type.

I also checked the current CoA package for another normal way to produce 540803.

I could not find a replay of 420275, another quest/NPC that sets 540803, or a recovery/backfill mechanism for characters with:

420275 completed

540803 = 0

420276 not completed

420275 is non-repeatable, so such a character cannot normally restart the original event either.

I also checked whether this could be solved using another character. The event script does not distribute 540803 to nearby or party members, which is consistent with the alt-character test already documented earlier in this thread.

Therefore, as of the current CoA data, characters in this state appear to have no normal player route to complete 420276 even though the quest is still present in the database and Codex.

Could this case please be checked again?

If this behavior is not intended for Codex completion, perhaps 110242 [Atlank] could provide a recovery/replay option for characters who have completed 420275 but still have 420276 incomplete and 540803 missing.

Thank you.
