Blood of Heroes - LOOT BUG - CAUSE

[Vvar-pagle]

BLOOD OF HEROES - ITEM / NODE
Eastern Plaguelands - zone item
Western Plaguelands - zone item

BUG: Unable to loot.

CAUSE: If you fail to loot blood of heroes due to being attacked or dying from the enemy spawns. It becomes “UNLOOTABLE” to everyone on the server and remains an active node stopping all other nodes from spawning.

THE REAL ISSUE: If this is not fixed any trolls and unsuspecting players can effectively prevent all new Blood of Heroes from spawning for up to days or weeks at a time for an entire server until a server reset happens. It will effectively lock the entire server from progressing on any quest these items are related to. Whether they want to do this or not.

Here are all related topics I have found on the forums regarding this topic…

Blood of Heroes broken

We can’t loot Blood of Heroes in WPL (Spawns mob 1st loot, but no blood, and doesn’t despawn). Eventually all EPL Blood spawns get taken and locked by the ones in WPL that don’t despawn. Please remove the WPL Bloods, or fix this issue, we are running around for hours trying to find Blood of Heroes that doesn’t work.

Blood of Heroes Empty

Finding about two-thirds of Blood of Heroes nodes are empty / bugged. Should a) have a blood of heroes inside, b) spawn 1-2 guard(s) when looted. When someone else loots the node, the node should disappear. It should not be there to find again later. Suspect this is affecting other nodes’ ability to spawn in other locations. E: As a followup, all nodes in WPL appear to be broken presently on US-Skeram. Nodes in EPL work fine. However, as these are shared spawn, eventually all nodes get …

Bloods of Heroes

The bloods of heroes are unable to be looted. They seem to share spawn points in both Western Plaguelands and Eastern Plaguelands. Any that are spawned in Eastern Plaguelands are lootable but when they spawn in Westernplague Lands they are unlootable and will not respawn. This leads to every spawn being in Westerplaguelands and making obtaining the Bloods impossible. I’ve hoped layers and tested this, I can go to the Caer Darrow island at anytime and easily find 2-4 bloods. Yet I can run all of…

Blood of Heroes not lootable

Probably a repost but Bloods of Heroes are not lootable. Hard enough to find them but when you do you can’t loot them. No adds spawn, no item is looted, the blood stays there on the ground and wont despawn.

EPL / WPL blood of heroes

new bug kind of the EPL blood of heroes are lootable the WPL blood of heroes are not or its just a huge coincidence for me… either way its odd

CANNOT loot blood of heroes

I need them for my chestpiece i have found 2 on the ground in WPL and could not loot either of them. thanks

Seconded. This bug is an immense hindrance on locating an already rare resource. Searching for the blood myself, I’ve seen in less than 24 hours after a reset that all of the Blood of Heroes nodes on a server become locked away from the players due to this.

I got my 10 bloods for my chestplate today.
Your best bet is to be online RIGHT after a server reset and scout out EPL. Get them before they respawn in WPL and become stuck until next reset.

The cause isnt dying before you loot it, or not looting it. Just flat out ANY spawns in WPL are bugged, period. You can tell a “fresh” WPL blood from one that’s been looted before by the fallen heroes spawning. If they spawn you’re the first person to try to loot that blood, if they dont someone else has tried. Either way you don’t get the bloods. Any that spawn in WPL are effectively dead and prevent them from respawning in EPL.

Yeah, no wonder i havent been able to find any for a long time

Since posting this a few weeks ago… I have not encountered unlootable blood of heroes nodes “this week”. Is it fixed? Maybe…

If any issues arise with these items please speak up.

If u just cannot find any that is intended as these are an incredibly “rare” resource on a 2-48 hour respawn timer with limited maximum amount of spawns per zone. The quests pertaining to blood of heroes are intended to have a quest completion time similar to the amount of time it would take you to see an Ironfoe or similar raid “Epic” drop appear when clearing content with your guild. AKA a large time investment to complete.

Many thanks. To everyone that reported bugs on this issue.

PS: There is a rumor if you kill the adds that spawn… these nodes respawn much faster somewhere in the zone. (like within 15min-8 hours max) So farming with friends might be a way to do this.

You have always had to kill the mobs that spawn. If you are farming and cant find one, look for active mobs and kill them. This will force the ‘node’ to respawn.
