mythic weapon quest line

[ohkitty]

I am working on Mythic Weapon and completed the quest "Duties, Tasks & Deeds" and received the Key Item "Paparoon's sealed invitation". I then started the next quest "Forging a New Myth" and received the Imperial Gold Piece and the Mythic Weapon "Carnwenham Lvl 75" (locked). As I was anxious to start a new Mythic, and since I already had the Mythic Carnwenham, I went to Abquhbah and traded him a new virgil weapon "Quicksilver" which then put me back onto the quest "Duties, Tasks & Deeds". Unfortunately now the game will not allow me to complete the original Carnwenham. Is there any way to exit the current Quicksilver quest and continue with my Carnwenham and the "Forging a New Myth" quest?

This isn't a bug report.

You can only do one weapon at a time. You need to commit to finishing the one you have active.

This sounds rough, if that’s the case.

If you can only do one at a time, how was he able to start a second one?

Sounds like he has two in the works, unless this means he effectively “deleted” his progress on the Carn process.

Seems confusing, I doubt he can never progress Carn again right?

I think previously trading a new weapon to Abquhbah before completion of Coming Full Circle would result into something like:

You cannot successfully complete this trade transaction while in possession of a Serpentking Zahak relief shard. You must first finish the quest "Coming Full Circle" before trading a new weapon.

This meant one would not be able to start a new weapon if the first one was discarded for example... until the 2022-01-11 version update [1], after which it has been possible to cancel the quest, which seems to have perhaps happened here...

Do you remember a confirmation dialogue regarding it with Abquhbah?

If this is what happened, it might be impossible at this time to complete that particular Carnwenhan...

For more discussion regarding this, perhaps post under Missions, Quests, and Records of Eminence [2].

To report it as a bug, follow the guide in the welcome topic (though I suspect it would end up under Working as Intended): Welcome to Forum: In-Game Bugs!

because they completed the proceedure to start a new one but had a different incomplete quest in progress.

Regardlses, the point holds true. You can only do one weapon at a time. They need to complete or abandon the one they started to switch back. I don't see a bug here.

When you abandon a mythic, you lose materials already turned in. Which is why most people don't turn in quests unless they're committed to them. Then if you do change your mind, you still have all that stuff to put towards it.

I could be mistaken here, but this is how ive always understood it to be.

That is super rough.

I guess lesson learned hopefully.

Perhaps maybe a GM could help restore the item/quest. But as you both said, not a bug.

I can see why this works the way it does; if trading the new vigil weapon didn't cancel the old mythic regardless of progress then you'd have a conflict on the key item and final fight. That said, when you've got the locked weapon, that's it, you've done the thing, it shouldn't be possible to just take it away from you like this.

Not a bug, but definitely a feature that should exist: there should be some way to pick up where you left off on Forging A New Myth when you don't have any other mythic-related quests active.

They only do item restoration for items that were specifially discarded or sold to an NPC. They do not restore items lost in any other manner, such as through an ingame function where items are given to an NPC.

SE is extremely hands off when it comes to this kind of support, believing it compromises game integrity.

thank you all for the info - unfortunately this is my first mythic i have been working on for over 3 years so did not totally understand the instructions in wiki. i thought that once you got the base weapon you could start the next one not realizing that you have to finish all three quests before starting a new one. I have done nothing on the new one other than trade the virgil weapon and get the assault books. I was wondering if i drop the books and cancel the new weapon quest will it allow me to continue on with my dagger. So sad thanks again everyone for your comments take care

Nope. One weapon at a time. Mythics have a complex set of quests and if you could do multiple weapons, it would easily break things as you have quests up for different weapons and it would be a great big mess. Which it is a mess, but it would be worse if you could.

More than likely you will still have to start over if you abandon the current weapon in progress. It doesn't sound like you're giving up much but I don't know how much you turned in on the other one.
