I could be wrong but I am pretty sure that I just wasted 2-3 hours trying to do just the first quarter of this mission.



1. I left from Arborstone to the north and ran everywhere that I could imagine.. I found 4 locations but the 5th was impossible to get to..

2. I left from Tanglewood Copse and was able to reach that 5th location.. near Lift Operator Schutz..however... The count had reset and I needed to get the other 4 locations.. again impossible to reach.. Actually I think that I could have consumed corpse down to where you cannot walk.. but it would be impossible to reach the other 4 locations anyhow.. unless I was some sort of warrior runner with consume.. maybe..

If I am missing some way to move in between these 2 explorable areas, both named Arborstone please tell me..

You are not alone, I had exactly the same experience, completely mapped the whole area only to find the only way to reach that marker is to exit from tangleroot

Which of course resets the whole bloody quest

** Only the last point I found to be unreachable, from the screenie you can see the others are reachable however.

""please excuse the poor typing and calling it tangleroot instead of wood, it's pretty late and my brain is mush..

Same here. I spent nearly 3 hours exploring everything and got to same as 1 above. The last location is not accessible. However, if I go from Arborstone then the last south location is not accessible. What's going on anet?

This is why I'm glad I didn't bother doing the maping quests. :< (I'm at 80.0%) :]

It's actually a disgrace that something can get released in that state. Don't they test everything.

Starting from Tanglewood, you can reach the 5th point but the other 4 are inaccessable, i'm pretty sure there was a way to reach the bottom intended but something went oops and they left it out somewhere

And the two arborstones aren't really linked i think, much like Unwaking Waters mission, and the area outside Harvest Temple which im pretty sure is also Unwaking Waters but explorable =\.

I feel I mustdefend anet on this one, I have done (I hope) every sub quest up to that point, I regularly go back to older zones to check if anyone has anything new to say to me and a few times they have! (explorable npc's too).

One bug from the massive amount I have done so far, including main missions si pretty good going compared to some other pay-per-month games.

It is the ONLY bug that I have encountered so far.

I hope Anet doesn't stress out too much
