What server/world did you experience your issue on: Bran (Bug is not server specific)
Describe the issue you are experiencing: Quests can’t be progressed as requested armor and weapon pieces are now unobtainable after salvage/drop. Items were not marked as quest items. Same bug/problem with Epic weapon quest line.
Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
(if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: game-breaking.
(if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No
(if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: reported already at launch and still not fixed or provided solution - examples of same problem:
What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Complete the quests to Rare item level status and salvage/drop items as junk. No quest marker or salvage block for those items. No way to replay the quests to reacquire missing items. Game content is no longer accessible.
Possible solution: Add those quest items (armors and weapons) redeemable from NPC or make them 0 cost crafting items at forge/outfitter after character has completed quest steps. Add quest marker to items and make them undrop/salvageable before complete quest line end.
We’re aware players who abandoned the quest / salvaged quest items before our fix are blocked from completing these quests. We’re investigating a solution.
