In Amirdrassil (open world Night Elf zone version), there’s many transmog item appearances one can collect over the zone. One of them is the Kaldorei Moon Bow, located in 29.04 28.86 (Arlithrien Lodge, left to the entrance, in the rack near a bed).
However, this item does not appear to me. Checking comments in Wowhead, as well as This Thread in General Discussion, many players are also having this problem. It seems whatever quest is related to this bow to appear is already marked as fullfilled.
Some comments say you can try go there with alts because it sometimes appear to them even if some of your characters can’t see it. However, I went there with seven different characters with no luck.
Please, check this issue. Lots of people would be happy if a hotfix any of these days solved this issue.

Upon occasions, when one is given a quest, and they find or pick up the item listed in the quest it would not actually appear in the innovatory unless the quest has been turned in and is part of the quest loot/reward. This has happen several times to me on various quest as this is something Blizzard implemented several years ago to reduce baggage clutter. Case in Point the (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=384/beer-basted-boar-ribs) as one would collect these ribs but they would not physically appear in the baggage.
Just to clarify, Classic quest, the items would or should be in your inventory. while in retail the quest items would be stored in memory for quest turn in.
This is a bit different in that ther “quest” is just a lootable object (once you loot it the quest is considered fulfilled, and the object disappears so you can’t loot it again). However, the object was never available to be looted in the first place.

Could it be possible that there is another player standing in the shadows taking this item before you have a chance to do so. This is assuming the quest item can or could be picked up by anyone.
It’s not a shared object that disappears for everyone for a while after it’s looted by someone. It’s instead viewable and pickable by each account once. Internally, it works like a quest rather than a real in-world object. There are several items like that in Amirdrassil, but this single one is bugged.

Just a heads up. Also in some case if you’ve looted something but your inventory is full it would go to your mail. Typically this happens when you quest requires that you pick up several items at once. Thus the last item would be sent to your mail.
Bow is bugged for me as well as of Feb 11 2024. Thanks for posting

I can confirm it’s bugged for me across all characters no matter faction, server, level or class. I ran the command to check for quest completion as suggested on another thread and it returns as “true” for all of my characters, but I do not see this appearance in my log and the bow is not showing for me.
I have the Gilneas quest completed and the older silver model as well.

With over 50 toons not a single one was this bow there for, so the trying the alt options has dried up for me sadly. Bet they put it on the shop for 20$ lol

Today I was able to loot the bow. I don’t know if they fixed the issue, or if I was just lucky.
This is how I did it: I was leveling a Dark Iron dwarf for their heritage armor in Legion zones. The alt is level 40 right now. I was flying by Valsharah when I found the portal to Bel’ameth in the main village of the zone. Just for curiosity, I decided to pay a visit to Bel’ameth and check the bow’s location.
I was surprised when my level 40 character was able to use the portal, and even more so when I approached the location and the arrow marker appeared in the minimap! I was able to loot it with the lvl 40 dwarf, and, thought he’s a mage and can’t learn bow appearances, I was able to send it to my level 70 hunter, finally learning the appearance.
Considering there’s a portal to Bel’ameth in Stormwind, maybe you can try to make a low-level Alliance character and visit the zone to check if the bow is available there.

Can confirm it worked for me as well. Likely issue resolved.

Thank you for this post. I actually managed to loot the bow on a low level alt and was able to mail it to my hunter. Issue resolved for me with this workaround.
