[QUEST] "Affected Earth" quest item does not function.

Description: I've had this problem for a couple days now. The quest "Affected Earth" in the "Ancient Kingdom of Rorazan" zone (specifically the Scorched Rift) does not seem to work for me. When I use the "Energy Detection Device" as instructed, nothing happens. Threads on this forum and other RoM fan-sties indicate that I should see yellow text on my screen alerting me of my proximity to the quest item. There's no such text. I've also gone to many sets of coordinates where others have completed this quest to no avail.

I've tried dropping and re-accepting the quest, as well as changing channels in hopes of changing my luck. Nothing seems to work and I am unable to complete this quest.

I completed this quest not too long ago. You might also look here: http://www.runesdatabase.com/quest/42487…-earth#comments especially the second comment from the bottom.

It did take me awhile and the "effect" seems to be somewhat random. Just keep plugging away at it.

I've been over both of those pages. None of the coordinates in either thread worked for me, but I'm still curious about that penultimate comment:

"There may be a LONG time (for me about an hour) where you get no energy detected."

Does yellow text appear saying that there's no energy detected in that case? If so I'm still experiencing some sort of anomaly. If not, I guess I haven't tried enough times. (Though 3-4 days of random attempts is a bit much.)

I did say "awhile", but I don''t happen to remember how long it took me. I did a lot of running around in the area, killing a lot of mobs--just to keep them trimmed back.

I eventually stumbled across the quest item when my friend and I annihilated the area. I used the device next to the item and still didn't get any messages popping up. It was entirely luck that we found it in the end. Since the quest item didn't work at all, I'd still consider this a bug.

You might try dropping and retaking the quest to see if that makes a difference.

Didn't change a thing. I'm inclined to think that some addon (though I only have a couple) interfered with the yellow text displaying, but I haven't experienced anything similar with the other quests in the game (and I've completed 2690 on this character).
