Journey Steps Broken

so was able to complete a few steps , on single player , server setting set as target lock enabled , no admin ect swapped keybinds 30-40 xs , still will not complete , no mods , now I have mods still wont complete ,
almost every single step is broken , cant count arrows i make , thrall attacking wont complete - tried holding e to attack , and tapping e to attack ,

everything is broken - which goes good with the FEAR of Missing out thing you all have going

Care to be more specific? This seems like a word salad you threw together in frustration and doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

Also… everything is NOT broken… while some journey steps can be a bit gimmicky, for example steps involving getting items need to start a new stack (since internally a new item is only created upon starting a new stack, the stack amount is just a property of a single item).
So if it’s a stackable item then you need to make sure you don’t have any in your inventory already.

Other then these though for the most part things work…

The only thing I can think of if you feel like everything is broken is that you didn’t realize that you can only get progress with the Journey category that you are actively tracking… and only for the current step. So if you want to get progress with something, you need to switch to that journey category.

ya started warrior did the first few steps , got to the part target lock , which was enabled by default on server setting , clicked target lock , no completion , swapped keybinds , still nothing , tapped q so much that now when i hit F1 i get a mouse cursor in game that i can freely click any of the buttons in game to activate them such as clicking 1st slot weapon i equip the weapon with the mouse instead of hitting number 1 .

swapped over to archer steps , completed the craft bow , equip ect then goto the part i need to craft arrows , I’ve crafted about 15000 arrows using stone , and bone equipped them on the hunting bow nothing completes after that .

swapped over to thrall , made knock out stuff , knocked a lvl 1 archers out drug to wheel completed all that then pull them out order to attack and no completion

I was able to complete the tinker journey step , so now I’m reinstalling the entire game , hoping I wont lose everything I bought from the pass and bazzar and have already claimed on the game I’ve had going for months . I am saving a copy of saved games with a copy of the config files not sure if i need to save anything else ?

Am I kicking a dead horse here , is this not worth it ? like does this unlock the stuff for the account or the save? the hunter armor from doing dregs ect will I be able to make that if i do a new save? then delete the new one and load the old one back in? I hate to lose all my progress with AoC EEWA and the really good content for something I can only use on the new save .

This is all character specific!!
It’s part of the development of the character like regular knowledge items, so you’ll lose them as soon as you start a new character.
Imo it’s only worth completing the ones for stuff you plan on using, or if you’re just really bored.

In any case I had no problem with the arrow one, I’m gonna look into the target lock one see if I find anything.

Okay, I looked at the targetlock one, it’s supposed to complete as soon as you target lock, regardless of the hotkey.
So if your enemy is actually being locked ingame, then it should complete - it’s not related to a specific key, but the target lock mechanic itself.

Oh btw, you mentioned mods. Some of them which replace items (for example Immerse RP) with their own versions might prevent triggering certain steps related to harvesting / item acquisition until those mods get updated

ya seems to be mod specific , pulled archery evolved out and was able to complete the archery steps , trying to find a mod that effects targeting , running like 3-400 mods so this might take a while , I’d say if you are playing mod free these steps might complete . I knew i was running AoC , but been playing modded so much I assumed it was vanilla . gonna try to hit each mod see if I can find the ones blocking certain steps , thanks man

Think after I figure it out , I should post what mods are blocking achievements/steps?

Yea, that’s probably going to be helpful to others, though these can very easily be fixed by mod creators.

Most of the issues span from the fact that this as well as the battle pass system relies on a fairly new tag system.
So any mod that made copies of item entries etc. in the past doesn’t have these new tags associated with them so they need to add them and do a mod update.

This should also help you narrow them down if you first of all focus on mods that change vanilla items to their own version.

Archery Evolved - breaks archery journey steps
Pippi - breaks the thrall taker , combat target lock (might be a setting inside )

Since a lot of people seem to be having issues, I made a quick mod that allows admins to debug grant journey steps on their servers. Nothing fancy, there are already admin commands btw, but this makes it simpler and allows you to do it for other non-admin players on the server.
