In World of Warcraft retail, Shipping & Handling is bugged.
About 3 or 4 days ago during a Surge Pricing, I started doing Shipping & Handling objectives for it. When it ended, I got the “30 second mandated break” objective, so I completed it and then used the hand caddy to opt out of Shipping & Handling right as the next job popped up.
That is when the bug started. My character Rixxiel is stuck with the Shipping & Handling objective called “Food Fight: Cole Hotrocket” which persists as a listed objective when opting out of Shipping & Handling, is not reset when opting in, and cannot be completed in any way.
Since the game stuck flagging my character as on this job it won’t give me a new one, and the caddy caller doesn’t help “reboot” the Shipping & Handling flag, like it’s job queue problem. And since I can’t do any Shipping & Handling jobs like this, I cannot participate in Surge Pricing, which is really frustrating and prevents me from tagging along with friends to do it.
I’ve seen other players have this same issue in the forums and are not able to work around it. I have tried what I mentioned above, opting back in, opting out after, opting in and going to the objective area to try to complete it, spamming opt-in and right-clicking the buff to opt out the same time with the keybind on my G-99 breackneck. I even tried deleting and undeleting my character to see if that would reset it. Nothing worked.
This has persisted even after the recent hotfix. Please help, I’m loving this patch so much, I don’t want this spoiling it forever. On a GOBLIN character nonetheless!
EDIT: I forgot to mention, this is not an account-wide issue, it’s character specific. If I log into another character I can participate in Shipping & Handling just fine. And no, that’s not a solution, I want to play this patch on this character, I’ve already gotten so much done. Please fix it.
SOLUTION: A workaround has been found!
First, find the ID of the job you’re stuck on here: https://www.wowhead.com/storyline/ff-task-list-5643
Then run this command as provided by Graveblossom (replacing YOURQUESTID for the one you found on the list above):
/run iAbandonQuestID = YOURQUESTID; C_QuestLog.SetSelectedQuest(iAbandonQuestID); C_QuestLog.SetAbandonQuest(); C_QuestLog.AbandonQuest();
