To simplify a resolution for your problem. The first thing Funcom Support staff will ask you to do is to uninstall all mods to see if the bug still exists.
Which is fair enough as you cannot expect Funcom to sort out a non Funcom features, ie mods. If the bug still exists with all mods removed then by all means return.
Unfortunately, I can’t really do that as it’s not my server, but thank you for your time. I suppose I just won’t be able to ever craft the Perfected Heavy Armor.
I’d suggest contacting the server admins (I’m guessing it’s not actually Wak who handles that side of things - but maybe?) - they should be able to help you, or at the very least may need to know that something is going wrong on their server and a journey step cannot be completed as a result. They may be able to track down which mod is causing the problem (or may even be able to simply award the journey step, depending on whether Pippi handles that or not).
Unfortunately, no. One of the admins had to give me the perfected armor recipes via Pippi because I couldn’t complete it no matter what we tried, and Pippi doesn’t have the functionality to tick off Journey steps.
Why?
In your tanner bench every hide (rhino, elephant, bear) becomes thick leather.
In your tanner table, all the above hides become thick hide.
The skeletons drop mostly all the hides.
The tier 4 bearers loot box occasionally gives a ton of bear pelt.
The frost giants give only thick hide.
Try to use upgrades on your skinning knives.
A high lvl purge will give you so many Perfected paddings that you won’t know what to do with them.
Killing world bosses you gain perfected paddings too.
Dungeon chests are full of hides and paddings as well…
Fight the bugs fellow exile, don’t give up.
Best of luck and wishes for your issue to find remedy!
Ps. You don’t have this recipe on your tanner table? All you need is an armorer .
Not being able to complete the ‘Journey Step’ won’t stop you from being able to make Perfected Heavy Padding. It just means you won’t be able to receive the reward (whatever it is) for completing the step.
As an afterthought, if you already have some Thick Hide in your inventory (maybe from a loot chest or dead NPC/animal), the journey step won’t complete. If you had Thick Hide in your inventory before, try again ensuring there is no Thick Hide in your inventory this time.
The recipe for Perfected Heavy Armor is the reward for completing the Expert Armorer Journey, and the Armorer Journey is a prerequisite to start Expert Armorer. Harvesting thick hide is a step in Armorer.
This is true. The journey trigger is checking for a new item slot to appear in your inventory containing the target item. If you already have that item in your inventory, then there is no new slot appearing as it is just stacking with a different slot.
You can still make Perfected Heavy Armour without completing Journey Steps. It just may take a bit longer to get the recipe.
Bear in mind the the OP’s problem was the journey step “Harvest Thick Hide” not completing.
Their comment:
says they thought they would not be able to make “Perfected Heavy Armor” without completing the Journey Step.
Hence my reply “Not being able to complete the ‘Journey Step’ won’t stop you from being able to make Perfected Heavy Padding.”
