New expansion glitches/bugs, etc - Here we go

Post here the glitches, bugs and other broken things in the new expansion.

I'll start by adding the first thing I found:
The primal chainquest for Twilight Sky I at one points asks you to grab a journal and then enter the rift. Someone was attacking the rift and it teleported me before I could read the journal, the quest is now broken since the rift won't allow me through it again.

The quest name:
Main Quest (Pink) - A cryptic journal

Edit: I'll try to make a list and eventually when I can I'll confirm what ppl are saying and put a "confirmed" sign next to the things.

So, here's the list:
- The quest "A cryptic Journal" is broken IF you go into the rift without completing it. confirmed To fix this issue if you get it, enter story mode at other random NPCs in primal a few times until it gets completed
- The new passive skill "Ward of Bane" incorrectly states that you can only learn it at Twilight Sky I, III, X and IX forgetting about XII - confirmed
- Warsong City takes less time to defend during the pav stage
- The new Homestead terrain packs only display for the owner and not the visitors. - Need more info, but it seems people have to have their terrain effects at max to see the changes.
- UPD doesn't drop a zenith skull or zenith skull fragments (might be intended, but from what we heard the fragments had a 100% chance of dropping but they don't, need a PWE employee to confirm if this is a bug or intended, however, it's confirmed that neither has 100% chance to drop)

If anyone can confirm or dismiss these i'd be grateful.
I'll eventually organize this list better. Keep the bug reports coming.

    Probably just a typo, but the skillbook for the new passive Ward of Bane says its only available at Twilight Sky I, III, V, IX. 99% sure its also going to be available at Twilight Sky VII despite it not being mentioned on the book.

    Defending in Warsong seemed quite a bit more difficult than before. Hard to say exactly what changed, but I got the feeling the mobs were coming more frequently than before, like they compacted 15 mins defending down into 10 mins or something similar to that.

    It seems the new texture packs for the homestead doesn't display for anyone but the one who owns the homestead. (I logged a couple of alts just to see.. and nope.. wasted 12 gold)

    Few squads that did done deicide UP mode says they got no Zenith Skull, even no pieces of this mat.
    Is that as it haves to be or bug?

    Can you elaborate a bit on what happens if you do this?

    You basically have to swim past a portal to dig a journal. That portal is usually inactive, but upon digging the journal it makes u attack the portal, cuz doing so will activate it. Now if someone is doing the same quest as you and is a little ahead of you, they'll be attacking the portal while you are swimming past it to dig the journal, but instead you get sucked in to the portal cuz that other person caused it to activate. (is my guess)

    For the terrain, make sure their graphics are turned up accordingly (i.e. terrain; plants). For Skin, make sure you apply, and not just preview.

    Pretty much this, you get sucked into the portal and get the next quest but you can never complete the journal quest since after that the portal won't suck you in again (i tried attacking, debuffing, etc the portal, and nothing), so, you can progress with the main questline from primal BUT you will forever have that one quest, unable to complete, and if you trash it it's still there under main.

    Not only is it a bit annoying to have it there and not being able to complete it, but I probably lost on some vitae aswell.
    It's not game breaking since it doesn't completely halt your primal questline, but it's annoying ^^

    @ark95 if you have bought a skin from boutique then it should be in your homestead terrain options.

    The Assassin ultimate skill states that it does 50% more damage, I tested it in all ways, but the damage seems to be the same. Can someone else please check on it.

    @thegerbsters that would be awesome if the increase would be nonexistent. Sins are too strong anyways. I'd highly appreciate it if thats the casd.

    They get a buff with the same icon as the Duskblade PvE buff. My guess is that the 50% damage increase is for PvE only.

    Pets have different element types in the new pet system and we already know that: Earth > Water > Fire > Metal > Wood > Earth
    But this doesn't seem to work all the time. Like in my last battle, enemy pet (wood) got tha advance against my pet (water).

    That's not how it works, here's how it works (taken from a video about HS):

    From what I know it only gives the 50% dmg increase when you're out of stealth, so, for example, while using an elimination or cursed jail. First hit will take you out of stealth and the following 3/4 hits will have the boost, then you get stealthed again and lose it until you get out of stealth again, but i'll confirm it later.

    I've noticed that the "display" option for minions doesn't seem to do anything. I don't see the requested minion anywhere in the arena or elsewhere in the homestead. I see the ones I've deployed, but not the display one.

    To the person who asked about elements on minions - it doesn't work like mobs. Every differing element has an advantage or disadvantage, but all it does is expand the traditional mechanics (vs. mobs) by one step. So if your enemy minion is Earth, you'd obviously be better with a Wood minion and worse with a Water minion. However you'd also be at an advantage with a Metal minion, and you'd be at a disadvantage with a Fire minion. To give another, more simplified example:

    Mob mechanics:
    Metal - strong vs. Wood; weak vs. Fire

    Minion mechanics:
    Metal - strong vs. Wood, Earth; weak vs. Fire, Water

    So if your enemy has a lot of Water and Fire minions up, for instance, you'd do well to put up Earth minions as your guards as they'd have advantage over both.

    Is there any info about Mystic's Healing Herb and Vital Herb on their Sage/Demon versions ?

    I went to PWDatabase but it doesn't have any details about it. Also asked on the server but got no response and no one seems to be talking about it. Then I went to the Encyclopedia and found about one specific Mystic Book that grants only those 2 versions of plants. But I have no idea how to get it or where to find it.

    If anyone has some info or clue about this, I would really appreciated -Thanks in advanced- <3
