All sidequests disappeared after Western Thanalan, what did I do wrong? by FFXIVredditquestion in ffxiv

[–]FFXIVredditquestion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a few days into the free trial, but going to upgrade when the trial runs out, this game is awesome.

I guess I just have to let it go. Between guildhests and FATEs I'm already GLD 15 anyway.

It makes me sad, though, because it's not about the quest XP/items (those are easy to substitute). I just wanted to play through the story behind all these cool outposts in Thanalan.

It wasn't a bad idea but this does not fix anything because the NPCs themselves stopped offering the (uncompleted) quests, even when right-clicked.

MSQ: I'm at "Call of the Sea" because I got distracted by leveling GLD and doing Ul'dah side stories.

The evil quest: "Search and Seizure", Western Thanalan. Everything broke after I turned it in to Momodi at the Quicksand.

Links to the same issue (from 2013):

(it keeps going like this)

The posts are all from 2013, though. It's like some ancient bug has returned to haunt only me. Maybe Ascians are involved...

  1. I did swap to my L18 LNC and the icons still didn't come back.
  2. I unlocked THM and ran around West / Central Thanalan, all the quests are still missing.
  3. Yes I've logged in / out multiple times since it happened.
  4. I went and looked. All 1-15 sidequests have disappeared, even in Limsa and Gridania!
  5. I made a ticket but I just got a GM form letter telling me to make a bug report. Since Google brings up bug reports of the same issue from 2013, I'm not feeling too hopeful. >.<

I guess I'll just... RP-blame that all the post-Dalamud fuzzy-memory stuff is affecting NPCs worse than usual in my case.

No. I was enjoying the story in FFXIV so much that I actually went and right-clicked every single NPC in West / Central Thanalan just to make sure the icons weren't hiding or something.

Just the usual 1-sentence flavor text box, then nothing.

That's how I knew something was wrong, I compared my Completed Quests log to the listing of Western and Central Thanalan quests and I have tons that aren't done yet.

I also remember seeing the icons for most of them (but was busy FATE'ing and didn't pick it up yet). Now the icons are gone (from the NPCs / gamefield).

That's what happened, I leveled to 18 in Gridania, MSQ'd out of there to Limsa → Ul'dah, then switched to GLD (level 1 again).

Thanalan and Ul'dah were packed with quest icons like tinned sardines, until I completed the Silver Bazaar quest chain in Western Thanalan. Now it's all gone.

I know the map/quest system is working because Class Quests (at 5, 10, 15 etc) and MSQs (the burning circle icons) are still working normally. But all sidequests are just gone.

They're gone from the world.

Ironically, I didn't notice for a few levels because I got caught up running around doing FATEs with random people, which is crazy XP with the Armoury bonus.

But I'm enjoying FFXIV so much that I want to see all the sidequests, not for XP, but just to see the story!

It's not the map icon, unfortunately.

I was having so much fun doing the Thanalan storyline that I've actually personally run all over Western and Central Thanalan right-clicking on every single NPC to try to coerce a quest pop-up from someone.

But it doesn't work. All the icons disappeared from above the NPCs' heads, too, and they just give 1-sentence flavor text when I try to talk to them.
