Folks,
I have this quest stuck for days now and it's impacting my ability to progress other quests. I'm assuming my attempts are right:
Prov House - create 2 lots of traveller families in resources, (which creates 10 settlers)
Wait
Click from Star menu into Mayors House
I've done this several times and I get the resource but the quest is stuck. Tried increasing pop limit, no luck.
I'm lvl 28
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Clappers
It sounds like you are doing what you are supposed to be doing.
- Is it a Waiting Quest? If so you need to finish your current Daily Quest before this Waiting Quest will become active
- Just for clarification,
Are you queuing 2 separate tasks with each 1 traveler familie in the provision house, (resulting in 2x5 settlers)
or
Are you queuing 1 task with 2 traveler families in the provision house? (resulting in 1x10 settlers)
I would expect the latter one to work if the first one doesn't.
Regards,
Fexno
This one has a bit of a history, it only registers when you add a new +10 from star ie: one that you created after the quest began. Bit of trial and error to find the right one, as they don't always appear in order, but often it will be either the last in list, or the first.
Further confused by the Star menu placing similar stuff in 2 different places, where quest award settlers appear in 1 block, and PH created ones in another section further away.
Try mousing over the star menu items, and read the text carefully. PH created stuff usually has the name of the item created, rather than a generic name.
Thanks Folks - some good suggestions here and I'll go and give them a whirl.
Keep you posted

Hi guys, well i've given up with this one and it's frustrating but I've tried every suggestion on here, in addition to lots of helpful folk in my guild and on the server but I can't shift it. It does not have an option to complete instantly via gems and I can't progress a key number of other quests without it. I'm trying the official support method now but wanted to thank everyone for their help - cheers!

Hey Clappers, could you say exactly which quest it is or post a screenshot? Since it's the weekend it might be a bit quicker to have another look at it here while waiting on Support to come back Monday.
It really does sound very much like it's a "Waiting" Guild Quest, here's a pic: Commonly Asked Questions: Why can't I finish my quest?. If you're new to the guild or were offline for a few days you may not see the guild's current active Daily but there can still be one there, visible to other members.
The puzzling bit is this:
A Waiting GQ shouldn't be blocking anything else.Quote:

I'm hoping this happens then I can quickly re-create the 10 I need to complete. If not, I plan to drink 30 pints of lager tonight in a vain attempt to convince myself 'I have won'. :D
I'll keep you posted and thanks for the idea!

Hi Folks,
Anyone advise how I can post an image on here please? Still not sorted this and I think I'm going to get booted from my guild because this is a GQ and I can't complete it so holding up progress!!
Thanks
Clappers
You have two options:
- Follow the instruction in this post
- Use the attachment feature in the forums (beware that the image size is pretty limited here)
- Click "Go Advanced"
- Click the paperclip icon (next to the font options and the smiley) (and if you see a dropdown list choose "Manage attachments")
- Drag the image you want to upload onto the "Choose File" button and Click "Upload"
- Now click the paperclip icon again and choose the attachment you just uploaded from the dropdown list
Attachment 5987
This is my current screenshot folks. The dependant quest, (Stormy Shores', is the one where 23 of my guild members have to complete their quests. This has happenned multiple times and I produce my settlers but nothing happens. I give up and the next day it resets again.
When I hover over the two windows in the quest there are no other dependancies.
Thanks
Clappers
Whoops forgot to tell you why most people prefer option 1. (Attachments are very limited in size)
If you followed the following steps exactly it should have registered. If not then you'll have to wait till Support gets back to you.
- Open your Provision House and select the second tab and click Traveller Family

http://i.imgur.com/Kvp49Fv.png- Wait till the production is done, open your quest book and check if the quest requirements are green
As a last resort and if you really want to try and finish it, you might want to try and produce and apply 10 Traveller Families (so 50 settlers)
We have had issues with "Traveller Family" quests in the past, so who knows...
Oh! I've seen this!
What Fexno's said just above should work but the "Produce [something] in Prov" GQs have bugged at least once before. For this one no-one with a "Produce in Prov", (Settlers, or in my case Marble) could get it to work. The next day it had sorted itself out so I didn't bother reporting it and clearly it slipped my mind but here tis:Quote:

Quest still takes no notice:

Those "You'll find the produced buff"s in News are the right items, they just completely failed to register. If that's what you have it's not you, it really is the quest.
Also worth noting - There is a quest that requires you to "add the settlers to stock" but in GQs you don't need to, there's no listed requirement to add and producing the [thing] is enough. At least it's meant to be.
Thanks guys - Fexno, I have tried your suggestion and have tried doing two lots of families at once, doing them seperately and so on but no luck. I've always made sure they are the ones I have generated, (rather than getting them as a quest prize for example), and that there is space in max pop to cater for them.
I'm in week 3 of this problem so I'm really hoping support can sort it out.
I'll keep trying until they come back to me - thanks again.

You DO NOT need to add them to the mayors house, this may be the problem. You also do not need to have pop space as you are not required to add them, and can leave them in star till a later date. Just making them should finish the quest. As you have the other part green, then both should be green and you can click the tick at the bottom of the quest to complete.
That's exactly the problem, both parts and the tick-to-complete should be green but neither the "produce" bit nor the tick at the bottom actually are green.Quote:

The stuck quest I saw may not be exactly the same as Clappers', ours affected everyone with "Produce [something] in Prov" and did suddenly start working the next day but on the surface they're pretty similar.
Three weeks Clappers? Jinkies! o.O GL getting it sorted, that's bats.
Ah yes, sorry about that. Somehow I mixed up the quest requirements with the other one Iolanthe was talking about.
There is indeed no need to add them to the Mayors House and thus no need to have a population sufficiently below the maximum. (I've updated my former post and removed that part to prevent further confusion)
As Iolanthe and Kit_ said, try checking the Quest after you are done producing but before you add them to the Mayors House.

(I didn't actually suggest that above. :) My marble never left the star, in fact I'm fairly sure it's still there. I missed that as being part of Kit_'s suggestion instead of confirmation the *adding* isn't required. When "Acquire" quests are active the green in the progress bar can drop but when a quest has bumped over to "Complete" I've never seen one come undone again. That's true, but not quite right. It doesn't bump to "Complete" until the other item is "paid". Rephrasing - I've never seen a "Produce in Prov" bar go down again either, though that certainly doesn't mean it can't happen.)
To be accurate, it's a server-connection issue. I've had similar registration problems on testserver when using a wifi connected laptop.Quote:

Well, a server-connection issue may lie on server-side (in some degree), but yes.. Clappers problem here is baffling..
Perhaps it's rather a sync error.
Guys - its fixed!
Logged on again just now it was green, even though I hadn't created the setllers so I made sure no-one was looking and completed it :D
I assume support guys must have done something - thanks for all the help, great support on this forum, fair do.
