A Safe Place to Hide

Just wanted to bring some attention to the fact that the level 63 scholar quest A Safe Place to Hide requires the player to use lustrate in a non-combat situation, which is quite inconvinient if you don't have a stack handy, especially given that this occurs in a level 30 area, so it's quite hard to get into combat without the thing dying in the span of the gcd before aetherflow becomes available. I navigated this by attacking one thing while standing on another, so the second attacked me in solidarity, but it was unnecessarily clunky. A simple fix would be to have the quest require an adlo instead. (Or, you know, make aetherflow accessible outside combat).

I know it goes against everything you're trained to do, but just run up and hit a nearby mob with your book to get into combat.

Yes, it's annoying, and not being able to aetherflow outside of combat is anti-fun, but smacking things with a book spine and laughing in their face is pretty boss.

Still a major oversight that people HAVE to do that now.

I do get a good chuckle everytime I boop a low level mob just to charge my aetherflow gauge. XD

As summoner, it is a bit of a pain to precharge this way, but it's really not much skin off my back.

While it's not that much of a deal, I still can't really disagree here. Not much we can do but work within the system.

I tried to do this quest today, but even though I tried this workaround solution, the game still wouldn't let me cast lustrate on Setoto even though I targeted her. I just cast it on myself instead... Did they somehow manage to screw the quest up even more after this maintenance?

They just changed what you need to cast today because of this very issue.

If you picked up the quest prior to maintenance, and it still tells you to cast Lustrate, you may need to abandon the quest and start again to get the right version now.

Oh really? But I picked it up today just an hour or so ago :/ I'll try to abandon it and start again next time I play.

I was playing catch up on my SCH quest line and ran into this issue as well just moments ago, Lustrate will be the spell the quest wants you to cast, but you actually need to cast Adloquium in order to move the quest forward.

FYI, fixed in the 5.05 patch notes.

Patch notes may state that it is, but it was indeed not when I did the quest not more than 4 hours ago post-5.05 patch. I even tried abandoning the quest and picking it back up again, still has the same quest objective to use Lustrate.

What if you use another healing spell?

As I stated previously, casting Adloquium on the NPC will count as completing the objective and allow you to move forward :)

I started the quest 5 minutes ago and it still says Lustrate in the quest text.

Adloquium worked though.

Damn. This whole expansion seems like it's been a mess of poor follow through with changes. I mean, I sorta get it. The longer the game goes on, the more little things there are to check into when they change something. But they've really got to develop the tools for it or something, to make sure anything changed/removed is accurately reflected in quests and such.

Thank you so much for this!! I finally managed to complete this quest! ^^ I hope they get this sorted out, though! I've had problems with summoner job quests as well after ShB :/

Just want to update this, the quest does still say to cast Lustrate to this day. Thankfully I found this thread and saw the Adloquium solution. Hopefully the text can be changed in game to cast Adloquium instead of Lustrate for future Scholars.
