Herb Collector quest in Hillmarch - boss and quest giver dialogues broken, cannot close quest
-
Area name: Gnome Garden
Issue Location: Quest giver in Hillmarch / end-quest NPC
Quest Name: Herb Collector
Store Name: N/A
NPC Name: Sotonia Azloud
NPC Location: Gnome Garden
Server Version: 8834
Screen Shot: shared on Discord
Time: 3 August 2025, 10am GMTIssue Description: the quest appears to go on well until you encounter the boss NPC, who has the same dialogue as the quest-giver does. Trying to close the quest successfully (the option is there) does not work with either the boss NPC or the quest giver NPC (same behavior).
We tried to force the quest ending by attacking the blue boss NPC. Other than a dangerous fight which killed a new player (but left behind a nice set of potions, leading to assumption that a fight is one of the intended scenarios), we have also found out that the boss NPC shared faction with all the questgiver and other NPCs, causing the game to be unplayable.
Other than fixing the bug, restoring the lost xp to the new player would be greatly appreciated (I asked them to make a screenshot). The third player, whose presence would have very likely avoided the death, was at the quest entrance at the time, thinking we were bug reporting instead of still doing a potentially lethal testing. Player name on Discord is EpiEvith, PC name Appolyion.

@Mr-Moloch this is not fixed yet. The boss has the correct dialogue but returning to the quest giver and trying to turn in the quest still does nothing, the conversation option is there but clicking on it just closes the conversation without any effect.

@Mr-Moloch it appears that the quest turn-in convo option is mistakenly scripted as quest taking one. I am now alone in the party and clicking on it and it says party to small to take the quest. Whereas, if it was the actual turn-in thing, it would allow me to proceed.
