Seems to be just as buggy as the quest before it. The dirt mounds will randomly disappear. Unlike the puddles, you can't just step in them, so harder to cheese past the bug here.

EDIT: just got past it, you can talk to Roska again if the dirt mounds disappear to get them to show up again.

absolutely the most buggy quest they've added in this xpac. I've sat there for 10-15 mins. to no avail. half the time, the dirt doesn't show up. when it's there, i grab it and use it, and it's still dropping back down to 0%. I'm not sure if other people doing it at the same time affects it or not. :(

Description

<The state of the corpse of this centaur woman is surprising. Her clothing is in a style unfamiliar to you, and her skin is emblazoned with intricate tattoos. Her body is intact, so it seems as though she could not have been dead long... or could she? Conditions here may have led to better preservation. Roska will want to have a look at this!>

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Surveying the RiverbedLevel 70

    Hope you brought your boots, 'cause this is gonna be a wet one! This river carries artifacts down from the mountains, and they wash up here in the silt. The centaur have found loads of stuff here over the years.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Do Rites by HerLevel 70

    This gal has been here for a long, long time. It's a wonder she's in such good condition. It's one thing to dig up pottery shards in the mud, but something like this requires more care and expertise than you and I have combined! Maruukai isn't far from here... We should tell the centaur about this.
