Send Aid to Neverwinter, Stronghold Quest for Siege

towre · May 2016

The quest requires dispatching 5 specific Stronghold guards to defend Neverwinter. One near the northern entrance, up the stone ramp from the marketplace can not be interacted with even though the marker for the quest is there. The other four scattered around the castle are working, but the quest can not be completed.

Update: Using the command /interactIncludeVolume on the guard does work, or abandoning the quest until the other set of guards is chosen for the quest.

same problem here

@terramak This seems fairly urgently in need of an emergency fix, because if it's broken for half of the event, well....

Apparently the guards you are to speak with are randomized and only one possible one is bugged.

Drop the quest and retry til ya get the right guards.

Same issue. Restarted three times until the guard within sight of the Master of Coin had a yellow icon, and that worked. Got all 5.

Guys, did u notice that one of the versions of this quest is bugged? One of the guards at position 2121 / 4314 have a yellow mark over his head but cant be interacted. Is this only for me?

I noticed that the three toons that couldn't finish were all Halflings. They were the only ones that that that group of guards. The rest got the group that worked

Must be a coincidence; my halfling completed it fine, but my main elf dc was bugged. I dropped and tried again, it did not work and the one by the marketplace didn't even have the interact above his head the last time. Didn't realize until reading this thread that I should keep dropping and re-taking the quest.

I thought it was because before I found the quest guards, I had interacted with a couple of the guards that were not part of the quest (you know, the ones that you tell to stand up straight). This was also the first character I tried it on.

@terramak - please help, this is fairly significant. Thanks

buggedy, bug, bugged

Do the
/interactIncludeVolume
Command when standing near him. It will do the job.

micky1p00 · May 2016

Do the "/interactIncludeVolume" (without "") command when standing near him. It will do the job.

sigillmacfinn · May 2016

Also got this bug for same guard in that location - Elf toon - so not a race issue !!
Urgent Fix would be good

Totally irrelevant. Any character taking the quest has a 50% chance each time that they'll get the bad set, just like flipping a danged coin.

Edit: Because there's a workaround for the bug (drop and retake quest until you hit the good set), I actually feel it's less urgent than my initial assessment. It's annoying, but you can always complete the quest if you stubborn it out.

buzzardsbait · May 2016

yeah, I had a different set of three that couldn't complete it today, so it isn't race related.

dropping the quest and taking it again till It hit the one that works isn't working lol. I have a couple toons now that I dropped it over 20 times and no joy

Confirmed. Thank you.

lunarfairy9 · May 2016

I also got it to work by accepting the quest. After I saw that it was bugged, I switched characters. By the time I switched over again, the quest was working. I don't know if that works for everybody, but give it a shot. Let me know if it works for you guys.

venohm · May 2016

I hit the quest bugged today. Was able to abandon and take the quest again and it worked.

Nope, did not work for me, and abandoning and re-accepting also did not work (tried several times, always got the same one), only this did:

obsiddia · May 2016

I was able to get to work after 5x abandoning where it included the bugged guard.
Gotta keep running right to that guard. If he's got a dialogue marker, delete the quest
and ask again. ...yes, pain in the HAMSTER.

darkstarcrash · May 2016

Why run to the bugged guard to see if he has a diamond over his head?

Just look to your left (when facing the Master of Coin): if that guard has the diamond, you're good to go. Otherwise abandon and re-take until that happens.

Note that it takes a second or two for the dialogue symbol to appear, so wait a few seconds before you abandon the quest.

Might is not always right - the powerful sometimes forget that.
