I’m am in the midst of the epic loremaster journey and in Dragonblight I have been unable to make any progress on Steamtank Surprise. The only thing I can do is drop off the 7th Legion Elites where they need to go. I read on Wowhead that the quest seems to be bugged and has been for quite a while. I opened a support ticket and tried all of the other things recommended, but nothing helped so I clicked in the support message that I still need help.
Now I see there’s an 8 day wait for a further response, so I thought I’d try coming here to see if there’s anything else I can do to help myself.
This is what I’ve done so far:
-
Abandon and restart quest
-
Try using different tanks
-
Leave zone and return
-
Disable addons and try quest again
The only thing I can think of to try beyond what is in the Wowhead comments is to try a phase swap.
Sometimes events bug out on a server, and the only thing that fixes it is a reset. You can work around it by trying to find a server instance that isn’t broken. (I don’t know if this is a case where events bug, but given NPC interaction with objects is involved, it wouldn’t shock me if that’s what is happening.)
Anyhow, there are a few different ways to get into a different server instance:
First, you can toggle Warmode. (If you have it on, turn it off, if it’s off, turn it on.)
Second, you can toggle Chromie Time. (Again, if it’s on turn it off, ect.)
Third, you can try and group with someone in a different phase. But, they have to be in the same zone as you when they invite you and they need to actually be in a different server instance. (For low level content, there aren’t that many instances.) This option is mainly only useful if you know someone on a server on a different data center.
