The rewards that I get from the end of the mission are not what is advertised from Marissa Winterwhite when she gives us the mission. SHe says were getting a greater thaumaturgic, but we dont. This is the second time this has happened to me :( TY for 4500 AD, but I'd like the other stuff too. I dont need the 5 lessers, I can get them from my gimped Leadership rewards.

    What is happening here is that what is shown in her dialogue and what is in the chest is not a match. It's a related problem to chests not showing you the loot you actually get, which they did fix. It doesn't matter all that much in her case because the RP *total* of the stones from the reservoir quest is always the same, and only the denominations change. Purple stone or 5 green ones, same difference. This allows the reservoir to eventually end up taking up 4 of your inventory slots in between 2xRP events. There is no "ninja" change to the quest either - it has always been randomized stones, giving the same total value. There is just a reporting error dating from the bug with chests showing the wrong loot. Likewise, Tower/Fen/Caves will always give you either one blue stone or two green ones. Same value. Different denominations. You are NOT getting ripped off.

    Need for Mead is also affected, as the amount of raw black ice in the chest doesn't necessarily match what you are told on taking the quest. It's really only noticeable because that amount may or may not be enough to fulfill the daily requirement for your faction reputation quest. You always get a single rank 5 enchant.

    Well of Dragons lairs are possibly affected too with the dragon potion/scroll drops, but I haven't been running those lately due to lack of time.

    I do not know if vigilance tasks are misreporting their variable loot, but it would be pretty bad if they are.

    beckylunatic is right, it has always been this way -- each character can get a different mix of stones from Arcane Reservoir, and the reward you actually get can be different from what is shown in the quest dialog, but it always totals to 15k RP.
