<The jiro pauses for a moment.>

They... make new lands and creatures for the Forge.

Devourers attacked, but some jiro still survive. You must find them. Tell them to gather outside the cave to the north. I will clear the way.

Currently bugged on live. The jiro you talk to don't give you their personal quests.

EDIT: Is now fixed on LIVE, they just didn't want us to sneak a daily :/
EDIT2: You can now progress through a few quests to the next bugged quest in the chain: Jiro to Hero :) Make sure to talk to Hanoa fast or it will bug out.
EDIT3:


Fixed an issue where the quests "A Jiro Guide to Not Being Eaten", "Picking Up the Pieces... Literally", and "Gut Check" were not available.
Fixed an issue for the quest "Jiro to Hero" where players could not talk to Hanoa the Exile, and therefore could not start the event.

All fixed!

Directly after picking up Broken Circle, I would highly recommend picking up all three quests (one from each of the Jiro you must convince to leave) before starting any of those quests! If you complete them one at a time, you will end up being incredibly inefficient and having to kill way more devourers than you would otherwise need. So to be most efficient and to save some time and hassle, run through the area and pick up all three quests, and then complete them at the same time.

Completing this quest line has the Jiro set up shop outside of Exile's Hollow, which opens up the Jiro vendor [npc=183962]. Once you finish the quest line, the vendor (and reast of the circle of Jiros) will be at /way 37.16 44.66.

This vendor sells a handful of items:


  • [item=188793]: Which increases your cypher gains by 50%. This is battle.net account bound, cost 150 cyphers, and can be sent to alts.

  • [item=187804]: A feast which allows party members to contribute materials to create a +20 main stat food; cost 25 cyphers

  • [item=187824]: A crafting reagent that makes your gear have a chance to spawn an unstable Automa Core which detonates after 4 sec; cost 25 cyphers

  • [item=189980] and [item=189986]: Two Night Fae Soulshapes, a brutosaur (1000 cyphers) and an armadillo (500 cyphers)

  • [item=191039]: A pocopoc battle pet that you can summon outside of Zereth Mortis, in case you want your BB-8 to follow you around (and kill other pets) after 9.2; cost 500 cyphers

  • [item=190333]: A toy that causes Jiro to stand around you and serenade you with their electronic melodies; cost 100 cyphers

As stated by multiple posters, to unlock this quest chain you need the Cypher Console Spell [order-advancement=1902].
