I have an issue where I am permanently stuck on the Cleansing the Mother Tree quest (sounds like it has been happening since 2016). Since it is an artifact weapon quest, you cannot abandon/pick it back up. I will say, I was able to get the artifact weapon, but I have a quest permanently in my quest log with a title gated behind it due to a technical bug.
To provide as much detail as I can, here’s how I recall the scenario went.
I had been doing the quest and got to the scenario portion with the Corrupted G’Hanir.
In stage 5, I gave the NPC the Corrupted G’Hanir to cleanse.
When stage 6 started, I attempted to “Weild G’Hanir the Mother Tree” by clicking on the artifact weapon. Nothing happened. I ran away from the area (the NPCs looked to have died and my combat dropped). When I came back, they were alive and I had an extra action button, when clicked, it did nothing.
I hearthed from there and used Dreamwalk to return. On my way back, I saw that I had mail, in that mail was the artifact weapon but I still did not have credit for “0/1 G’Hanir cleansed” on the quest Cleansing the Mother Tree.
I attempted to re-enter the scenario in Hyjal which restarted the scenario event. When I got back to stage 5, the NPC asks for the Corrupted G’Hanir again, however, I am unable to do this because it was consumed in my first attempt. I’ve tried several things to try and get the quest abandoned, however the option is greyed out so I am now stuck with this quest that I can’t complete (but want to because I am trying to complete my druid’s Order Hall stuff).
Now I’m stuck putting in bug reports for a nearly 10 year old quest, just trying to turn this quest in. I’ve put in tickets, but they say to put in bug reports, but I’ll keep pushing my tickets until I can get it resolved. I can see that this issue has been reported in other threads/forums/comments sections and I’m just hoping somebody responds with a way for me to get past this quest.
