Can't get quest "Alpaca it in". Alpaca forgot how to count

quest = Alpaca it in. This quest is not showing. I have done “Alpaca it up” 8 times now. You are supposed to feed the friendly alpaca 7 times then get the quest to get the mount. Here’s a list of when I fed the alpaca. 5-8 @ 10:00am, 5-9 @3:20pm, 5-10 @11:19am, 5-12 @1:12pm, 5-13 @6:25pm, 5-14 @5:39pm, 5-15 @12:45pm, 5-16 @10:17am. All times in server time. I saw the alpaca on 5-15 @3:00pm with mo mount quest, and again on 5-16 @3:38 with no mount quest. This has been a reported issue since 2022 at least. Please poke the alpaca to switch quests.

Just fed the alpaca for the 9th day. 5-17 @10:42am. He again had the daily quest to feed him

I have now fed the friendly alpaca an additional 2 times – on 5-18 @ 12:43pm, and on 5-19 @ 11:02am. So as of 5-19 I have done this quest that requires feeding the alpaca 7 times a total of 11 times. 8 of those times have been consecutively with no missed days. I just want the next quest so I can get the mount.

I found him again at 11:30 (5-19). No quests available. He should be giving the one time quest for the mount.
5-19 @ 6:46, found alpaca, no quests available

I did fed him several other times after this. Didn’t update my other post with dates & times and don’t feel like looking for them. After feeding him again today (6-17) I’m up to 15 times he’s been fed.

I did put in a ticket. And then subsequent tickets when the ticket responses showed that the answering GM had not actually read the ticket.

Ok. so call me a masochist. I went and fed the alpaca again today (6-17 @ 3:50 server time), did the daily quest. Warned everyone in the zone that he’s borked and it’s a “known issue” that’s being “worked on”. Told them all to track when they feed him and asked them to put in bug reports if the quest doesn’t work for them.

If someone who knows how to do the scripts could take a look at the one I had found on wowhead and sus out why it no longer works that would be a step up on blizzard.

/script print(GetQuestObjectiveInfo(58881, 0, false)) is the script that is supposed to count how many times you have fed him. According to the wowhead comments dragonflight broke it.

/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(58879)) is the script that verifies you have done the daily. This one still works fine.

Final ticket response to the chain of tickets I had in.
Hi Hermione, I hope you are doing well.

I’m glad to see you’ve been continuing your epic adventure, nevertheless I understand that you cannot obtain the quest “Alpaca It In”.

********** UPDATE ****************
Alpaca has finally been fixed. Anyone who fed the alpaca while he was broke will have to redo the feedings. The script now works to track feedings and you get the quest for the mount immediately after the 7th feed.
