So not sure if this is an issue. I just leveled my third alt to level 80 without doing any of the first part of the campaign. First and second level 80 alts got the “meet Moira” quest where the ships come in and the quest “The Fourth Seat” automatically disappeared from their quest logs. They also got a nice weapon each for completing… something… (after the embassy setup?) …something along that quest chain.
My third dinged 80, got the quest to talk to Moira about the ships, but the “The Fourth Seat” quest stayed in the quest log. Did the embassy stuff. Talked to the upgrade dude. Met with all the places Moira said to visit. But didn’t get any loot. That toon did not get a weapon at any point or anything purple. The only purple item that toon has is from doing the special assignment in Azj-kahet.
Ended up abandoning “The Fourth Seat” quest but it is still showing on the map. Quest log says to continue the campaign by accepting The Fourth Seat in Dornogal. But at the same time, the After the Storm quest is in the quest log and 1/5 Chapters.
Did I just imagine the purple weapons on toon one and two for skipping the campaign up to 1/5? It wasn’t that long ago, so I hope my memory is not that bad, but there is so much to do to draw my attention, I could be wrong.
