    Into the Dark (Limsa Lominsa) History Bug

    Once the quest is completed nothing comes up in the history box. I thought it was lag at first but after checking my other Maelstrom quests that's the only one that doesn't give me text.

    Sorry for the late response, but it's not an issue on my side. I can bring up the history text of Into the Dark (Ul'Dah) without a problem, but not for the Limsa branch.

Thanks again for your patience and cooperation!

    Bringing this thread up since something similar is happening to me now.

    Platform: Windows 7
    ISP: Comcast
    Type of Internet Connection: Cable Modem
    Internet Connection Speed: 15mbps download
    Date & Time: First noticed December 8 2011 approximately 8PM Eastern
    Frequency: every time I check my quest log
    Character Name: Cydori Silvertide
    Race: Hyur Midlander Female
    World: Mysidia
    Class/Skill Rank: Lancer 45 (also shows up on other jobs when checking quest log)
    Physical Level: n/a
    Area and Coordinates: initially found in Owl's Nest, Coerthas Eastern Lowlands (in the 63, 34 to 63, 35 range), but true in all areas when checking quest log
    Party or Solo: solo
    NPC Name: don't remember and can't look it up since I don't have the quest history any more, but she was in an instance
    Monster Name: n/a
    In-Game Time: all times
    Steps:
    1. I have reached the point in Into the Dark (Limsa Lominsa) where I picked up the Faces of Mercy Medallion from an NPC in an instance in Owl's Nest.
    2. When I go to check the current step and quest history for Into the Dark (Limsa Lominsa) in my quest journal, both are empty. The map will show the location of where I need to go next, but there is no current step or quest history text at all. Quest history text was working until I entered the instance and picked up the medallion.

    At first I thought this was due to lag since that will sometimes cause quest history text to take a while to load, but it seems to be consistently empty. I have checked in different locations on different days and still have the empty quest log. I can proceed with the quest since the map shows me the next NPC, but I do like having the quest history and current step available.

    ...there may be a pattern here.

    Hello Cydori!

    Thank you for providing us some details, but can we have you create a new thread regarding the matter? As you are not the OP, we must ask you to submit your own problem report; we do this so we can give your concern the attention it needs once we get word back from our Development team.

    Thank you for your understanding and for the details you have provided.

    Actually, you can go ahead and disregard my request, as something in patch 1.20 has corrected it. I'm seeing quest history now.
