Only getting credit for the world quest on about 1/4 of world boss kills today. Just doing it on repeat until it finally gives the rewards. Fairly frustrating, unclear what factors are involved, as a player it just feels random.
To be clear this is not a post about loot from the bosses, just completion of the associated world quest.

Same here. Got in a group with LFG, killed them but didnĀ“t get the credit on world quest.

Same here. Only got credit after killing them on the third try. Also, the world quest icon wasnāt glowing like Liskanoth was last week.

Currently, Iāve done the Elders 3x and not completed the WQ. The third time I did it, it finally showed up as a āquestā in quest list on the right side of meā screen. The first 2x it did not.
Iāve been in groups formed using the Group Finder. Some of the people in the second group said it completed for them and dropped a crate.
Is there supposed to be a crate from this WQ this week, like the big dragon in Primalist Future, last week?
Thank you.

Iāve tried this a few times now on a few different characters and each time on all of them, the quest isnāt complete and no one gets any loot.

First time I did it, worked fine. Second character, no loot and didnāt complete. Very annoying, Blizz.
Edit: Took three attempts for my death knight to get it to register and get the loot. And then I couldnāt loot the bodies even though they showed as having loot for me, but at least I got the chest.

Same here. Killed them twice now, no credit, quest still showing up as incomplete on map, no reward.

Same here - no quest completion and no crate. I typically avoided this boss even when it was current content, so doing it multiple times over for credit on multiple characters is not preferable.

This has been a consistent problem for most of Dragonflightās life cycle. Aurostor, the Hibernator, in the Emerald Dream is particularly buggy when using the group finder, taking in one instance five kills to get credit. That is when you arenāt sharded out of the fight altogether or have him despawn entirely. But my experience of Zaralek Caverns as a whole, Zaqali Elders included, has made me question if anyone ever read the bug reports during beta testing.

just had this WB not give credit 2x on the same character, both times done in a raid group.
please fix this zoneā¦ i really hope it doesnt have to do with the ācavernā style environmentā¦ considering weāre going to see more of this in TWW

Same, and trying to kill them multiple times is extra frustrating since tanks canāt seem to figure out they need to be separated.
Same. Had this just happen to me. Killed them, but got no WQ completion. Seemed to bug for a bunch of us. Worked fine for me yesterday on another toon.
If the World Quest is NOT active when you do the kill, you do not get credit. The WQ has to been actively up on your screen.
And if you use the built in lfg tool and get phased it usually fails. You kinda have to be there when the WB spawns, which is ridiculous. The code should ONLY check if you have tagged it and if you have received credit that week. Pretty simple, and like others have said, this has been screwed up the entire expansion.
Zaq Elders STILL NOT giving creditā¦ 15 hours after original postā¦

Nope you are entirely wrong having it on your screen doesnāt matter. I just did it on one character and the world quest was shown up the entire time and I didnāt get credit. I got credit for the kill in the travelerās log but the world quest did not complete and I didnāt get loot. That boss is just so terrible to do as well I just hate it.
And last week the three characters who did it and didnāt get the cache got credit for the quest anyway because the quest icon disappeared

They donāt care about world content players. Last week none of the world quest gear was able to be used in the catalyst until they hotfixed on April 25th. I had spent 8 hours on 16 characters doing all that content the first two days and almost a total waste of time.
People had the same problem with the timewalking raid something that took less than an hour to do and they got it fixed almost right away.

Came here to report this.
The cavern world boss isnāt giving credit.
One some toons, it gives credit on the 2nd kill, but Iām not getting credit on a toon which killed the world boss twice.
Doing this on 10+ alts is painful!
This bug actually existed before 10.2.6. It happened with the Emerald Dream world boss too.

I am dumbfounded that this is STILL an issue. It was an issue when they were introduced in the Loam patch. How could a bug so widespread and so obvious on something as big as a world boss go completely ignored for SO long? Iāve put in many bug reports about this, including back when they first launched and, as expected of most bugs this xpac, nothing. It took me a few tries to get this to actually function on my paladin and it refuses to work at all on my druid.
Seriously, wtf? If this wasnāt a long running MMO, it would be a quit moment for people.
Please excuse my frustration, but I hate having my time wasted through no fault of my own.
