Level 19 Spiritual Cultivation issues

[x3rox]

EDIT FROM SURTR DUE TO THREAD MERGE

UPDATE 10/31 10:44am PST - I believe we've figured out the issue. We're still doing some testing to try and push the fix out in Wednesday's patch, but no promises. If you are unable to take the quest, free up at least eight slots in your inventory (either by stacking, selling, dropping, or banking items), and this SHOULD cause the quest become available for you. If this doesn't work, please say so in this thread. Thanks to everyone who helped us narrow down the cause.


We are aware of the issue that is preventing many of you from taking this quest. We hope to have a fix available in the next patch. However, to better help us ensure that we can solve this problem, please post as much information here as you can about the state of your character when you attempted to take the quest and anything you did beforehand that might be important.

Thus far we've been unable to reproduce it ourselves (either internally or with our characters on the live servers), and there doesn't appear to be any consistency between the people who have the problem or between the people who have avoided/fixed it. Finding a common link between everyone who is experiencing this problem is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack, and it is for that reason that every possible bit of information you can give us is extremely helpful, no matter how insignificant it may seem.

INFORMATION WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR
Class
Gender
Character name
Level
Rep
Faction
Do you have Jones' Blessing?
Do you have other quests in your log?
How many unspent attribute points do you have?
How much spirit do you have?
If you solved the problem, how did you do it?
Did you Trash any quests?
Approximately how old is your account?
Is there anything else you can think of that might be relevant?
================================================


I'm lvl 21 elf archer, I've exhausted every single quest I can find. Even solo missions. The solo missions to kill lvl 20 archer wearwolves ran out. I can't find anybody in any city, dreaming, bamboo, plume, brute, north of brute, lost, nowhere has any quests, please help. I need 4 more reputation points to progress in spiritual cultivation. I have 96.. I presume it is 100 but without quests I don't know how to get them..

I'm quite sure cultivation has nothing to do with reputation. You should have got a quest from an NPC that will raise your cultivation when you finish it.

[x3rox]

No, I didn't get any gold colored quests...

[x3rox]

If the quest is called Aware of Principle, the the quest issuer MangMang says "Your current reputation is too low to allow further meditation" and he has a silver shield instead of orange. Only guy who has a shield at all to me now,

[Daoshi - Heavens Tear]

Been a while since I've done the quest, but I think that you have to visit the Recluse at some point. After that, I think you need to kill Carapest Terrors. Have you done either one?

If it's really reputation that you need, maybe you could head over to Archosaur and do some of the quests there first. 21 is about the level you should be going there anyway.

[x3rox]

Where is the recluse, and I don't remember these terrors

[Daoshi - Heavens Tear]

320 330, it seems, in the White Ridge area.

[x3rox]

all she says is flying is a basic skill for elves, and i've done quests for her before
