Bug/Isla Prima/Harvesting Tutorial

[aafriaen]

Two of us encountered it, yet I do not find it in the issues list. For some reason me and one friend happened to start the flower harvesting quest again, while we had actually finished it and the game sending me out again to take specific flowers while also telling me that I already took them and "should do them in the right order" and even stopping me from taking them while at the same time marking them in the map as the next flowers to pluck. Nevertheless I could every time pluck a flower before being interrupted again with the same message that I already had them and needed to take the flowers in the right order For some reason I managed to finish the mission by adding those 'wrong' flowers to the storage anyways. But my friend seems completely stuck in this 'get the flowers/they are already taken' loop-like prison. Either I fix this bug or he isn't able to finish the tutorial.

As explained in the forums. I'm sure this is a server issue. I've just done the harvesting tutorial on the test server with a couple of test characters. I think the confusion happens because the tutorial dialogue continues to allow you to start the harvesting quest, when it is already in progress. This means that if you harvest say the first flower then go back to the tutorial NPC, you can start the quest again and the NPC will send you back to the first flower. If you try to harvest this flower, you get the "you already harvested" message. Also, you now have multiple blue markers on your map. If you move to the second marked flow and harvest, the quest continues as expected. You retain the marker for the extra flow though.

Perhaps, the dialogue could be changed to prevent restarting the quest. Also, if you get the "you already harvested" message, the server should remove the blue marker, though this would not happen if the quest could not be restarted.
