What a horrible WQ to lock a glyph recipe. Many times in a row I've seen the Vandros' one spawn, and Court of Stars, but none of this gets on for MONTHS now. I've even been checking EVERYDAY on my main, who has everything unlocked in Legion, to no avail, same WQ over and over.
IS there a bug or what?

Edit 1: Today (14th of September), on NA, we have, again the Vandros' one in the AW. This last month it even 'REPEATED' itself (tracked when it would end, and on the day it would end I'd see it spawn 'AGAIN', for 3 more days' duration).

I completed the requirements for this quest on Mythic difficulty, but after completing it, I was not awarded the rewards for it.
I tried to exit the instance, but no luck there either.

I assumed the quest had to be done on Normal, and changed the difficulty to Normal. As soon as I entered the dungeon again, the quest was completed properly and I got the reward.

Edit: If someone else tries this, simply try to re-enter the dungeon without changing difficulty.

All 5 of the Arcway WQ have Vandros as one of their objectives, so make sure to double check the name when one is up. I suggest getting WQAchievements addon, you can have it check for this quest for you whenever you log into any character (high enough).

Where to go
