This quest in Well of Dragons has a couple of major problems:
- You can no longer donate Dragon Hoard Coins
- Once you've donated 15 Dragon Hoard Coffers for Reclaiming the Hoard quest, you can't donate any more.
- Even those first 15 do not increase your tally. (e.g. one of my alts was at 0/1500 for Rewards, handed in his 15 coffers ... and tally remained at 0/1500).
For chars who are still progressing and would get slaughtered in Tiamat, this is a major problem as there's no other way to earn Linu's Favors.
Today's the first time I've observed this behaviour and it's happened on every alt (4 so far) I've taken through WoD today. For pity's sake, please FIX!

Honestly needs to be fixed sooner than later, it's quite ridiculous. This patch broke a lot of things this time around from what I'm gathering from the bug thread, and from in-game chat, too.
This is the interface panel you see if you have turned in Elminster's weekly quest and click on the donation cart

Normally, that would be a list of items you can donate toward the 1500 points needed to complete the quest and receive a Linu's Favor.
The Journal Entry still shows the valid quest and the need for additional donations to complete it as shown here

As stated above, without the ability to earn Linu's Favors through donations, players must wait until they are IL 18K to participate in Tiamat skirmish (with all the issues of the queue and abandoning included). Most players in the WoD begin at IL of 9000 - 11K until they gain some boons or upgrade enchants, etc., a process that may take months beyond the normal campaign duration.
I have logged this fault as well and been asked to add to the post
I can only donate 5 Dragon Hoard Coffers but nothing else. No Dragon Empire Treasures or Coins.

"you do not currently need to return ant Dragon Hoard Coffers until Elminster asks for more". Its been 4 days now
I am not seeing anything in the patch notes from today about this issue. Does that mean it's considered so insignificant that it got fixed but not mentioned? Or that it's so insignificant that fixing it is not a priority?
Edit: Looks like it's the 2nd option as I still can't donate anything after completing "reclaiming the hoard".
Sometimes the problem is easy to spot, sometimes, it can be obscurely buried deep somewhere in the code, in multiple locations, and can take a lot of time to figure it out.
Wouldn't it be nice if all the problems in the world were a simple fix....

Alt 1: Interface panel only lists the ability to submit 5 Coffers, I clicked on the red words and it accepted 5 coffers. The display was then grayed out, indicating that I had reached my limit of donations. I presume (since I only clicked once instead of 3 times) that I already had 15 coffers donated and this would normally have been allocated to the Reclaim the Hoard 1500 cache. I did not check the Reward Journal entry to see what was credited.
Alt 2: When I opened the donation cart interface to my delight, I was rewarded 1 Linu's Favor. I apparently had already donated 1500 points worth but had not claimed the reward. The good news is one is able to claim the Linu Favor if one has donated the maz before the update that caused the failure of the quest interface. Once I accepted the Linu's Favor, to my delight, I was given the chance to accept the Reward for the Hoard quest and start accumulating 1500 more points. Once I took the quest, the interface reverted to the single line of donating 5 coffers at a time, so I donated the 15, checked my total and it did show 75/1500 ... so it seemed to be caching the total to the Reward quest again (!). This was not happening last week.
Hopefully, this information will help the developers debug the problem. Essentially the menu to select various ways of donating to the cart has been removed from the quest at the moment. This prevents the donation of the 200 point Empire Treasures which we continue to produce.
I look forward to a patch on Thursday...
It appears attention is directed mainly at high end areas, but it should be noted that if new players or new toons can not progress it will have a negative impact on the game and in revenues. Bottom line will be affected.
