Despite opening an Arcane Coffer, if you do not loot its contents for whatever reason, the quest Siezing Power's objective of "Open an Arcane Coffer in the Dread Spire" cannot complete and therefore nor can the quest.
This also means you cannot enter the Lair without a Thayan Lair Key, nor would it help even if you spent the resources to get a Key because if you entered you would have no Gauntlet to use to open the required Arcane Coffer. So, you lose 24 hours/day for that quest...
This is way worse than previously believed. After waiting for the next day, I am completely unable to receive gauntlets and I cannot drop the quest. Let me repeat that. I cannot open the chest I cannot receive gauntlets and I cannot drop the quest. This needs an immediate fix as I am now 48 hours behind.
This is a hotfix worthy issue and should be treated as such.
i had a similar issue on the preview shard. i think i had to gain the ability to create silver gauntlets via the campaign system, use it to open an arcane coffer in the dread spire and then i was able to complete the quest. but it still crippled my ability to open arcane coffers until that was done.
