in Bug Reports (PC)
I submitted this using the bug reporter ingame here is the number (145157). My CW isn't able to use his arcane skill to complete these quests, because I have yet to be able to get the required items from any of the arcane skill checks. It isn't just this toon, but across my entire account. I've had to resort to buying the other skill kits to complete this quest on this toon and also on my SW. I think this is an old bug, but I didn't really worry about it or pay attention to that bug discussion because my guild didn't have the explorer's guild structure at that time.

    I did see that this isn't just a PC bug. There is also a post in the PS4 bug forum.

    Just wondering if this is ever going to be addressed and fixed. Still broken for Arcana skill checks.

    Just to clarify:

    This is the Explorer Guild quest to obtain 12 Cracked Mugs from opening skill nodes, correct?

    And you are trying to accomplish this by only opening Arcane skill nodes and they are not yielding a Cracked Mug?

    (I'm not sure why you wouldn't already have a full set of skill node kits (all 4 not native to your class) and just keep opening nodes until you complete the quest)

    I don't even think it is a bug. If I remember correctly, some old dev mentioned they did that intentionally, for humor, for fun, whatever. That was long time ago. It was in the era that everyone had tons of skill kits.

    It pertains to all of the explorer guild quests, not just the last one. I do buy the non native kits. I just shouldn't have to only use them for my CW or SW. With mastercrafting costing a pretty penny, along with Dark, Fey, and IWD vouchers for coffer, and finally just contributing gold to coffer, why should anyone have to spend more then needed on kits? So a hamster thought it would be funny? I hope he is no longer employed.

    Buy that from AH using AD and share that for your toons. AD earned from one (certain) HE is enough to buy a lot.

    The explorer's guild boon structure sends you on scavenger hunts to collect various items from skill nodes. Trouble is, arcane skill nodes never, ever, ever give you the needed item. This seems to be a bug with the skill nodes themselves. I reported the bug ingame ages ago and it still hasn't been fixed. Reporting it here because it's now causing confusion among multiple people in our guild.

    Hello @hustin1,

    Would you have the exact name of this quest and/or a screenshot please?

    Thank you in advance!

    It's not a single quest: it's every single quest that you get from the Explorer's Guild NPC. The quest you receive depends on the level of the boon structure. For instance, you might be sent to retrieve mugs, or you might be sent to retrieve little statuettes. Each tier of the quest has a different item in the scavenger hunt and number of items that you need to retrieve.

    Our explorer's guild is rank 8, so the quest is titled Explorer's Guild Tier 4 Upgrade, but the bug has always been present at lower tiers. Nevertheless, I'll post a screenshot of the quest offering. If you click on the thumbnail you get a larger image and if you click on that you get the full-size image.

    When looting Arcane Skill nodes, you never get the chipped mugs for the Tier 4 Explorer's Guild Quest, unlike every other node type.
    I'm not sure if Tier 1-3 quests have the same issue.

    Reproducing is easy to check, get the quest from Stronghold and try to loot an Arcane Skill Node.

    It has been like that since the introduction of that quest.
