Category: Quest [Can Repro] Date/Time: Sat Aug 27 02:06:12 2022 Character: Level 95 Wizard (Main) Zone: Hills of Shade Location: 1011.71, -818.84, 69.39, 91.26 Description: when trying to use the Undead Essence Extractor on a zombie (a risen ancestor) below 10% life, you get the failure message "Your target does not meet the spell requirements. The Essence Extractor whirrs but does not light up." Have tried multiple undead in zone including: a crypt ghoul, a frenzied ancestor, a crypt guardian, and a slithering shade. have had health of the monster as low as 1% and still did not work. Have also tried abandoning task and reacquiring with same results.
Maybe the wrong mobs ,some undead in caves using special invi (like rog), need special see invi to see them ( like aspect of zoom or worlu eyes , or PBAE spell around to get them on aggro
I tried every undead in the zone. Invis to undead worked so they were definitely undead. Go to the zone and look at the mobs i posted. They are zombies and skeletons other than the shades. Allah specifically said those mobs should work. I think when they did the big mob type revamp something broke with the item you have to click.
Grom #5: Carrion My Wayward Sprout :: Quests :: EverQuest :: ZAM (allakhazam.com) Are you trying it at 4% or less and in melee range? From what you posted the melee range part is the only thing you didn't mention. Its possible it could have broken with the body type change.
It was within range. If you are out of range it gives you a 'target is out of range' error message and not the 'target does not meet the requirements' message. I think it has to do with the body type change as well. The quest item wasn't changed to work with the changes is my guess.
Can confirm this is happening also. Tried everything suggested on every mob type with no luck. This was over the weekend on Mangler
Can confirm broken on Xegony. Kept mob at 1%, with no pets or mercs. Item always reports "target does not meet the requirements". Tried on many undead types within crypt and graveyard.
Same on The Rathe, I have tried on several different characters, all the mobs, all within melee range and getting the same message.
Confirming the above testimonies that this is broke. Am in melee range, mob is held at 3%, and message "Your target does not meet the spell requirements. The Essence Extractor whirrs but does not light up." If out of melee range "Your target is out of range, get closer!" is displayed.
Now it is confirmed, hopefully they will fix it. Unlike Thief's Vision bug going on for several years.
Just tried all above suggestions as well so just confirming that this doesn't work at all. I am on Quellious server
aradune and rizlona are in sof and it sucks being unable to do this quest to finish out the heros journey achieves. mischief will be here soon
This bug is still not fixed. This is an achievement from conquest under hero's journey for Blessed Celestine Faycite. Is there any eta from the devs on this fix? I assume this was broken when a lot of the undead mob types were changed just before TSS on Aradune.
Still an issue on Aradune, tried multiple undead throughout the zone to get task to update with no luck. As this effects a Conquest Achievement please consider this fix for attention while Aradune/Rizlona are still in SoF era. Thank you!
