Riding the Winds quest bigged?

I'm stuck on Riding the Winds. I think this is the 1st yellow quest of the 2nd chain at Spinward Rise since I just finished the first chain (yellow quests + 16 blue repeatable quests). I have to get 4 Lesser Wind Runes from Howling Hatred Cultists. I got the first 3 off the first 10-15 cultists I killed. Then nothing from the next 100 or so. I think either the quest is bugged or my toon is bugged. I actually finished a fresh Howling Hatred quest which requires at least 100 cultists to complete and still no rune.

Anyone else experience unusually long dry spell for that last rune? Is this normal or am I screwed?

PS. Title should read bugged, but I cant figure out how to edit it.

    Nvm, I took a little break, wrote the above post, then got back into the game just now and got the last rune on my first try. I guess if you're not getting any drops, just take a break and try again in an hour lol. I don't know if its just RNG at work or if I was really bugged and taking an hour break reset my toon, but at least I can progress again.

    I get the 4 runes charged then the quest shuts down. The trail leads no where then and when I go back to quest giver there is nothing to follow on with there either. I have abandoned the quest a few times then restarted but still no help. I am unable to complete spinward rise and continue in the game till i can do this quest. Any help would be appreciated.

    Yeah I think they goofed up there. Normally when a quest completes in a quest chain, it either ends at the quest giver or it auto grants a quest for you to speak to the next quest giver, but it doesn't here.

    In any event, you have to speak with the main story quest giver there. His name is Marshal Raegos. (The quest didn't show up for me right away either. But I checked again like 15 mins later and it showed up.)

    Thanks for your help, I'll give it another try, but so far the quest hasn't picked up again with reagus either. Will let you know what happens re outcome soon.

    that's because there's one step you missed. after getting the runes, then charging them at the 4 pillars, you go right behind the quest giver to the air portal and charge the right side up. this completes the quest and unlocks the lesser portal and allows you to fly to the next island - and now you can grab the second phase of vigilance quests (just look at the quest givers that specify a specific location and do only those that apply to the vig tasks you're on)

    Thanks for your response and help. Previously approached the air portal at the other end with the charged runes and was advised that riding the winds task, needed to be completed, for gate to be used in red writing, after pressing F there, to interact. I'm also fairly sure I checked the portal behind quest giver at both greater and lesser gates, a number of times with the same response. At any rate I sent a ticket to tech support and game support then aborted all quests in my journal then started the quest again a day or so later. The lesser portal on right side of obelisk accepted attuning the charged runes and I was able to return to quest giver and complete "riding the winds" quest at last. I may have made some mistake or missed something here, but anyway, I am grateful to all the people who gave me feed back to help on this issue. Many thanks.

    Yep, I made the same mistake...the quest LOOKs like it goes into the next zone, but it really stops right at the little obelisk-stone-thing right behind the quest giver. Thanks for the help here!
