Sparks of War Quest - How To Complete This Bugged Quest

Community General Discussion

In case you didn’t know Sparks of War quest has been bugged for 2 weeks now. When you pick up the quest, here is a list of DOs and DON’TS. Doing a DON’T may make your quest disappear.

DOs:
It’s ok to take a flight
ONLY work on getting the sparks on this quest until you are done. I switched to normal flying as it made it easier to see them.
Check your quest log after EVERY spark you get to make sure it didn’t disappear because doing a “DON’T” makes it go byebye.
It’s ok to pick up chests, I got the flying one while doing it.

DON’Ts:
Do not queue a BG or Dungeon or anything. Accepting that phases you out and byebye.
Don’t do a quest that phases you
Do not log out
Don’t get disconnected from game, ya can’t control this one.

Also not sure about hearthing or dying, I took a flight back just in case. After doing this quest 3 times and it auto-deleted, I got careful.

Sounds like your PC is bugged. Have never had an issue.

Must be a lot of bugged PCs out there:

The sparks quest can disappear without warning. Dug up some dirt, received 5 and then poof. No quest and progress was reset to 0/100. Haven’t noticed if blizz has even responded to any of this yet. Can’t say small indie company… one of those would do better.

I haven’t had that problem myself, sorry for your loss though

It’s actually insane that this bug is still happening. Entire progress for an essential weekly quest gone, just like that. PvP is Blizzard’s redheaded stepchild.

This happened to me too from logging out … and I had all of the sparks. When I got back on the quest was just gone and I had to start all over again.

Never had a single one of these issues. Delete your wtf folder, any add-ons, and you’re cache. Then delete the game and reinstall it. You’re bugged.

don’t think ive ever seen this quest /shrug

This is not a local cache or interface issue. The quest progress is saved server side and it’s happening to me and a group of friends when one of the “don’t” events the OP mentions occurs. It’s repeatable, I lost progress twice before googling and finding it’s a common issue many players are experiencing.

In the past two weeks have you picked up the sparks quest then logged out?

13

Not even just PvP, my alts often do this quest as a piece of 593 gear is nice for toons that don’t do other content really

14

Well yeah I’m not a machine

Jokes aside, almost certainly yes. I have 3 different toons I jump around on and my playtimes vary from 10min to 1hr intervals. I can just about guarantee you I’ve jumped on one, picked up all my blue exclamation marks and logged off

15

You’re very lucky then a it seems the large majority of people are experiencing this, I’ve tried clearing folders, unclicking addon and still lose the quest logging out

16

So do you have to accept the quest then complete in one sitting?

17

Yup if you log out for even second the quest is gone from your log

18

Have you done this quest on multiple alts?

I’ve been doing it on my Warrior in between queues and it hasn’t done anything like that.

Yet.

lmao.

You know know that I think about it maybe. The other day I was trying to do it, got to my spot, did some work and checked my logs to see how many I got. Zero, no quest. I just assumed I forgot to pick it up
