So after spending about 30mins of farming mobs i finally got the Brinestone pick to drop. Didn’t get a quest. Went to the Brinestone cave and all 5 stones were on the rocks and this was about 8+hours before restart. So i go and do some other things and come back about every 30mins or so and everytime i come back the stones are still on the rocks. So right after restart i come back to the Brinestone cave and what do you know… STILL stone on the damn rocks… Cant unlock rank 2 mining till i kill the rare to which I NEED THE ROCKS CLEAR!!! Also just found out that if someone wants to stop all miners from getting rank 2 they can literally just walk away once they do 1 of the stones and its bugs out for the rest of us. finally after a server hop for another WQ i found one not been done so i did it and to my avail NO UPGARES!!!
Adding onto this - so there are apparently nodes you are supposed to mine in the upper left hand corner. However, they don’t show up as mining nodes on your map. They show up as quest items. However after running around for 15 minutes I didn’t see a single node. So yeah. Not sure what’s going on.
I have been mining those nodes for well over 45 minutes. I have multiples of each and nothing registered. I have also tried going with all of them to the orb in the cave but still nothing… What is going on?
Once I figured out what to do, I mined all the nodes and got all of the stones, but, they never ticked down on the quest… I am not sure what to do. I watched a guide and when he got them they ticked down… the quest is bugged for sure.
Same here, there has to be a fix for this… last fkn quest on the whole island for me now. /frustrated
I’ve had the same problem, the stones all appear on the pedestals. I mined up several copies of each color and never saw the quest move from 0/5 to 1/5, etc… After 30 minutes, I just left. Please look into this and it shouldn’t be this hard to do!!
I actually fought the big guy but then couldn’t mine his remains, which was apparently what I needed to do. Strange.
Still happening, first Brinestone Pickaxe did not grant a quest to start the event, deleted the pickaxe, farmed another and the second pickaxe did not start the quest either. Either I am missing something that is not implied or something is still severely wrong and bugged out.
Any clarification from Blizzard on this would be greatly appreciated.
This has been bugged for me since day 1 of the patch. I had the pickaxe drop and went to do it, mined all the different nodes and placed the brinestones on the corresponding slots, then nothing. To this day those slots are still lit up with the correct stones on them, but there’s nothing clickable and right clicking the pickaxe does nothing either.
The quest is STILL BUGGED. I’ve gotten the pick axe and no quest, I’ve gone to mine the stuff and no quest so I’d sold/destroyed the pick axe multipule times and NOTHING!!!
