Protector's Jubilee daily quests not repeatable

two30

The repeatable quests that send your character to various adventure zone aren't resetting.

Each day, Elminster should offer 2 quests out of:

• "Leaving Notes"
  
• "Speak to Alla"
  
• "Taking Notes"
  
• "An Unlikely Spy"
  
• "Message in a Bottle"
  
• "Rat Scratchings"
  
• "Death and Diplomacy"
  
• "Message for the Tower District"
  
• "Rendezvous with Riff"
  
• "Beachcombing"
  
• "Message for Lanric"
  
• "Sign of the Arrow"
  
• "A Fate Unknown"
  
• "Message for Windle"
  
• "Fallen Harper"
  
• "Law and the Order"
  
• "Taking up the Gauntlet"
  
• "Question for Oran"
  
• "Concerns for the Chasm"
  
• "Northdark Report"
  
• "Intrigue in the Dread Ring"
  
• etc.
  

They were offered on the first day (Thursday, June 16th) but not on Friday, June 17th.

I wonder if it has something to do with the different times reset on the "protector's bounty pack" you listed on your other forum feed

Did you run the skirmish? Not doing the skirmish has always blocked the other quests from resetting. I can't remember if I've previously tested if dropping the skirmish quest will fix it for the same day or if you then have to wait for the next day.

It's something to do with the hidden "wrapper" quest that gives you another bonus reward for doing two fetch quests and the skirmish. The fetch quests don't reset if you didn't get to claim the reward from the wrapper.

I didn't run the skirmish. I did try dropping and re-accepting the skirmish quest, but that didn't help.

My memories are hazy, but I think during last year's event dropping the wrapper quest would allow the new set of dailies to appear each day. I was able to do the adventure zone dailies each day last year without completing the skirmish, although I don't remember the exact method.

Yeah, the dailies might reset for you tomorrow if you leave the skirmish dropped, and definitely will if you run the skirmish and claim the other reward.

I don't really remember either, other than it being somewhat cumbersome.

You should run the skirmish anyway, why wouldn't you? It only takes a few minutes - unless you get a pug team that really doesn't understand the notion of teamwork or who has never do the skirm before (and can't, for some reason, figure it out in the first 2 minutes). Besides, it's the absolute fastest way to get Renown - I hit 3000k today and picked up my throne, which is the only new thing this year and let me top off my Collection. Besides, I like the new thrown, it's not silly like the Boo one and it looks way cooler with my Soulforge-shrowded Tiefling CW than the Lion throne does.

Just wish they'd add extra bank slots with these events... like one slot per new character bound event item as another unlock for the event. That would be awesome.

I want to experience the various event quests, which means using alts because of the RNG, but I don't remember how to play some of them, like my level 66 rogue. I can muddle through through killing a few enemies for the event quests, but my rogue would be useless in a skirmish. Also, I'm not interested in getting the rewards on said alts, so why waste time in the skirmish?

kvet

This skirmish is easy - all of the event and CTA ones are, even for lower level or lower-geared players. Besides, it's not for RNG - it's for earning event currency, which doesn't come by RNG. A lvl 66 toon wouldn't be useless at all.

Hmmm. I did the Skirmish and got"A Fate Unknown" yesterday and today on the same character.

obsiddia

Ahhh. So no daily quests from Elm because I didn't run a skirmish...
Don't remember that from last year. Easy for me to miss something
in the dialogue tho. (He says 'you've had enough for one day' tho,
instead of mentioning the skirmish. Threw me off.)

Been doing the skirmish, pretty much every day from the start, but not getting Daily Quests from Elminster. I've tried dropping the 10th Anniversary Quest the next day, after doing the skirmish the previous day, and not getting anything for Daily quests. This is seriously bugged. There are no uncompleted Jubilee daily quests in my Journal, and I can't quit things I can't see. I've never gotten the 'Complete an Anniversary Daily Quest' checked off during this event. Guess I won't be getting the Elminster Simulacrum, no matter how many times I do the skirmish.

Were the quests offered completed? A new set of quests definitely won't show until the previous ones are completed though not sure if not completing the skirmish affects the next set of quests from appearing even if the previous ones are completed.

The quests were not well-designed imo. You had to hunt through your entire journal sections as they appeared in various places, it would have been better if instead of being listed by location, they were listed by event. I found myself often with one left over to do and not being able to find it, and pouring through the journal again and again not being able to see anything, in the end I would open a travel gate and have a look for the special icon and see it there.

Thank you for pointing that out. I thought I was in some kind of timer and forgot the quest could be outside of PE. To find the quest, for me, the easier way is to look at the map and find that special symbol and I need to check Icewind Dale map too.
