    Get message about Quest Encounter and to press J
    Press J and get Quest information
  1. Don’t have the required Item to call Alpha
  2. No direction on where to acquire item (Musk)
  3. Tried to loot active (Sparkles) chest, Get animation of circle after pressing E, but stops at end and does nothing. Cant get items, have to press space or other key to break out.
  4. Another player came into the cave and did the quest. I saw the entire sequence in the Quest frame (J) key pressed including a red timer for I assume to reset?

This is happening on Live as well. Says to Place the Musk, and I see where there is a glowing spot on the ground, but E never pops up, and I don’t have any Musk in my Inventory.

Same here. Replying for concurrence of issue.

Same just happened to me. Watched someone else try too.

Same… broken on live… not surprising

just got this in dankfur hollow in WW, still broken

so how does one obtain the musk?

That is the question…unfortunately there is no answer it seems

Hitting this with every ‘Quest Encounter’ I run into. The last two were the wolf den near First Light with the musk and some emblem thing near Saircor.

Ran into this as well, First Light, Howling Cave, “place the musk to lure the alpha”. No musk, but there’s a little ‘smelly’ (brown glow) place on the ground. If I attempt to leave the area, it warns me I am abandoning the quest.

Still happening, I have the same issue.

Ditto. Jesus, stop breaking stuff, AGS. Let me add, DankFur Hollow is where I am getting this.

i have the same problem but in a different cave

I’m getting this, too, but in Dankfur Hollow in WW. I’m on US East Calnogor. It just started since the last update.

Yup, still happening.
Server: US East - Tlalocan
Apparently I’m about to abandon it, too.
Sharp Teeth, Fine Fur. No musk to lure the alleged alpha.

also not working for me atm

Same issue for me.

Same here in Dankfur Hollow as well as Saircor. Was this not tested at all, or is your test environment so different from your live environment that it would work in one and not the other?

Can we get a developer to please acknowledge the existence of this issue?

Same here…

Same issue here! Has happened at least 6-7 times. Anytime I go near a den, basically.
