427146 [Temple to the Ancient Spirits] cannot be turned in — progression is blocked by Arcanium Chamber phase changes
427146 [Temple to the Ancient Spirits] appears to depend on several different global Arcanium Chamber phases, and the quest does not complete in one continuous progression.
I accepted 427146 [Temple to the Ancient Spirits] from 123762 [Allen Ferknor] after the Arcanium Chamber had been opened. Shortly afterwards I tried to donate 202844 [Mana Taşı Aşama 5] to 123764 [Weily Hanson] and received:
Quote"The donation is not needed now!"
This happened after the relevant interaction had already been used before me. At that point 548983 [Donate material] was still incomplete and I could not progress the quest any further.
I then had to wait several days for the Arcanium Chamber to become available in the required state again.
When the next suitable Arcanium cycle came, I contributed the required Gold again through 123633 [Jess Hays] so that the Arcanium Chamber could be opened. This time I entered through 123649 [Passage of the Arcanium Chamber] immediately, interacted with 123764 [Weily Hanson] first, and donated 202844 [Mana Taşı Aşama 5]. The donation was accepted and 548983 [Donate material] turned green in the (L) quest window.
However, even with 548983 [Donate material] completed, I still cannot turn in 427146 [Temple to the Ancient Spirits], because 123762 [Allen Ferknor] does not open a dialogue window in the current phase. The NPC can be targeted, but no conversation opens.
So a single player can end up in this situation:
- accept the quest during one global phase,
- wait for another Arcanium cycle to be able to complete 548983 [Donate material],
- and then wait for yet another suitable phase before 123762 [Allen Ferknor] becomes available for the turn-in.
In my case this single quest has already required roughly one week of waiting between the required Arcanium states, and it is still not turned in.
This does not scale well with the number of players on the server. If 200 or more players want to complete the same quest and the required interactions are limited by these global phase transitions — and if only one interaction per opening is effectively usable — the waiting time could extend to weeks or months for many of them. Quest progression then depends on global event timing rather than on the player's own progress.
Is this phase-dependent behavior intended?
If it is not intended, could the interaction and progression conditions of 427146 [Temple to the Ancient Spirits], 548983 [Donate material], 123764 [Weily Hanson] and 123762 [Allen Ferknor] please be checked, so that a player who has accepted the quest and completed the objective can also turn it in without waiting through additional Arcanium Chamber cycles?
If this behavior is intended, I would still suggest reviewing it, because with a larger number of players trying to complete the quest, this design can create unnecessarily long waiting times.
