Healing Automation Quest

[Muergan]

Hello,

The 2nd part of the healing automation quest line cannot currently be obtained due to Zimloro not answering any hails. He does this time to time where he stops responding and the GM has to reset it. Actually happened to me a year or two ago also. Been confirmed by other people also.

I just tested the quest this morning and it's working. The npc responds as expected at each stage. This means the script isn't faulty itself.

I believe there was an issue with this quest at some point but it was resolved.

If the npc is flat out not responding then it's either proximity or a client side issue. This is something that's been discussed in relation to another npc in the last few months (I believe it was the dragon sage in Western wastes).

It's an issue I get intermittently. I don't know exactly the cause or the fix but, for me, I believe it's related to me cutting down on the client (ie altering the global load file on "slave" clients).

I've gotten around it by either restarting eq or by not using a customised global load. But this isn't to say that this is the same issue you're facing. But it's definitely nothing to do with needing to "reset" the quest, npc or your task stage. The npc should respond to your hails if you're close enough (it'll respond with something no matter what your quest progress is, I checked). If it's not responding at all, it's related to your client.

this may very well be the case but my friend and I are using the stock global files from the client downloaded here. So if the approved thf client causes the npc to not to work how can we make it so we can do the quest? any assistance would be much appreciated because as said earlier a gm had to help me with my previous toons by either giving me the quest manually or i collected all the pieces and he game me the item i forget which. So please if it is something i can change on my end let me know what needs to be done and I am more then willing to change it. Thank you !

I looked up your task flags and all seems fine (prerequisite done and ready to talk to Zimloro). Zimloro however doesn't respond in the default say channel but to the whisper channel. Looking at your totally custom UI you must have filtered something out (?) hence you don't see the NPC text, that's my guess anyhow.

Try to target Zimloro and say "service", see if you get the task selector window.

BTW please next time make a post in the petition subforum when experiencing a character related issue so we can easily follow it up, get more account specific details, etc. This is a general quest bug forum.

Service worked for me thank you Lillu i'll let my guildies know and look into the ui isssue. sorry about wrong forum..

Alright, just a heads up, some of your toons already had the task active so you might not get a response from Zimloro then.
