  • What is your character name in New World:
    Phoenix Rah
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on:
    Lilith
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing:
    This is a low priority issue, but noticed for the quest “That Beautiful Stench” the text prompt for the “Gather Stag A…” says I need to have a skinning skill of 85.

However, as can be demonstrated in the screenshot, I’m at lvl 77. So either the quest text needs updated to correctly reflect the minimum level whatever that is, or the stags need to be updated for the minimum skill level.

  • What server/world did you experience your issue on:
    Yonas
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing:
    I am unable to complete the quest to kill the Winter Warrior. I only received one quest from the Winter Wanderer to kill the Winter Warrior and cannot complete it.
  • Is this a bug? (If this is an exploit, please follow the steps here: [Dev Blog] How to Report Exploits - Updated )
    This is definitely a BUG
  • (if a bug) How did the issue affect your gameplay:
    Cannot do anymore Winter Event quests, and cannot repeat this quest (i’m fairly certain that it is in fact a repeatable quest, but am unable to confirm that myself, due it being bugged for me.
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue:
    No. I have tried abandoning it and re-acquiring, and it does nothing to fix the problem. I’ve probably killed that dumb Winter Warrior about x4 times now with no credit for doing so. This event is rapidly turning into an absolute waste of time.
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:
    Logged in, went to Winter Village in Monarch’s Bluff, talked to Winter Wanderer, he gave one quest to kill Winter Warrior, which I cannot complete. Looking online it appears there are suppose to be multiple quests and also some quests to kill elites in different areas. Also, there’s rumors of a situation where this quest commonly bugs out if one of the Yeti’s caves are visited prior to picking up the quest, which I may have accidentally done, not knowing of this cause/effect.

Brimstone Acid Pool/Solo Chests no longer dropping appropriate loot for the risk

Prior to 1.8.0, doing a solo run of Acid Pool chests would get me epic/legendary/named items/schematics/golden scarabs.

Almost every single time I do a solo run now, I only get blue gems, reagents and basic potions. After making a full set of Acid Resistance, and spending 30 minutes running this, I feel like this is unacceptable if this was intentional.

    12/19/2022 6:43am (EST)

EDIT: 6:53am (EST). When ascended to the top of the area where Imhotep can be encountered though a dialog and combat, Imhotep is not present. This is persisted through the current bug in the screenshot provided.

CRITICAL: Imhotep is also tied to the Brimstone Sands Main Story Questline. Players will be unable to complete the quest line due to Imhotep being bugged at the bottom of the pillars. No other action can rest Imhotep to resume or compete the quest.
