Data Mining Quest in Northrend

Hello!,

The above mentioned quest in Storm Peaks in Northrend requires the use of an ‘Inventor’s Disk’ from a previous quest, which I assembled. Now, we are supposed to use said disk to download data from ‘Databank’, by clicking on the ‘Disk icon’ that appears. We need 7 such ‘Hidden Data’. It was not on this character, it was on my other toon, who is trying to get Loremaster achievement.

The problem is, I am not even even able to use it to download it. I went to see a youtube video to see if I was doing it wrong. There is supposed to be a purple ray emanating from the character to the floating Databank. In my case, I just hear the sound of the spell being started and then ‘poof’, like something is cancelling it out. I tried abandoning quest, restarting wow, taking off addons and so on. I even tried it by removing all trinkets, rings, armor and it still doesnt work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Can confirm this is happening with me as well. Any help would be much appreciated.

I went back and tried again today and it is working without issue now.

I now am having this issue as well. I abandoned it and re-took the quest but it’s doing nothing. I can’t complete any other storylines (I hypothesize) until I finish this quest :frowning:

Try different Databanks. Last time I did it (wasn’t long ago) several of the Databanks had this non-responsive behaviour, but I went to a different part of the area and it worked fine. I suspect something is graphically respawning sooner than it is supposed to and the game doesn’t think it should be there yet.

What I found out was that the upper level data banks are bugged not the lower ones so use those not the upper

same bug, going to the lower level and trying those databanks DOES appear to work. maybe the upper ones arent supposed to work?
