Quest Log

The Missing Vessel

The Missing Vessel is a quest for level 45. It is step 3 of 14 in the Watchers in the Wild III storyline. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

So long as Hakkar roams free, no mage will be safe.

Millificent Manastorm created a vessel that siphons the essence of a mage, binding their magic to the object. It was created to be a weapon, but we can use it as bait.

If I channel my essence into the vessel, it will become an object of pure magic.

Upon capture, Millificent shattered the vessel, allowing it to fall into the hands of our enemies.

Find the pieces and return them to me. Together we can set a trap Hakkar won't be able to resist!

Edit: It looks like this issue has been fixed

WARNING: DON'T USE THE LEGION COMPANION APP FOR THIS QUEST

Edit: Confirmed by a GM, this bug affects hunters and priests.

Completing missions related to this quest with the app does not give you credit. Furthermore, you only get just enough missions to complete it. So if you successfully complete the fourth mission with the app, and therefore get no credit towards the quest, you will not even be able to send out another mission. This means you will need to abandon the quest and restart it from the beginning.

I would not be surprised if all quests that require a given number of identical items from missions are effected by this bug. I say this because the fox mount quest is not affected and it requires four unique items.
