Basic Info:

Platform: Steam
Issue Type: Gameplay
Game Mode: Online Private
Server Type: PvE
Map: Exiled Lands
Server Name: Die-Verbannten
Mods: Pippi, Amunet’s Server Transfer, Savage Wilds

Bug Description:

Due to the crafter thrall change that came with the “living settlements”, the last objective: “Assign a Crafting Thrall to a station” can no longer be finished. The self-assignment by the thrall, under the new system, is not recognized as an objective update.

Bug Reproduction:

  1. Reset your journey/create a fresh character
  2. Meet the requirements to unlock the “Thrall taker” journey step
  3. progress through it normally
  4. Try to complete the last step (“Assign a Crafting Thrall to a station”) - it should fail, as it seems to be impossible to “assign a thrall” anymore.

Whoops. No purple smoke for you.

I have the same problem except with Materchef. “assign a cook to the improved stove”. Placing the Lone Fisherman in the green outline in front of the stove doesn’t trigger the step.

So the real question is are the alterations to journey step going to be hot fixes or something that gets delayed until next revision. Personally, this is low hanging fruit to just remove the “assign” steps in the journeys and keep them up and running so I would include it in the barkeep/“returning home crafter thrall” (priority #1 so far as I can see) hotfix.

See you in 6 months on this fix

If it’s any consolation, I reported this in Beta several weeks back. So, they’ve known about it, it was just not important.

Hi!

Please check if these steps fix the issue:

  1. Reach the “Assign a Crafting Thrall to a station” step of the “Thrall Taker” journey
  2. Place a crafting bench
  3. Place a thrall that matches it
  4. Open the crafting bench

Let me know how it goes!

Does the thrall need to be “freshly deployed”, from the inventory - or would the “move & guard” command assigning it to the “slot” be enough?

Greetings!
I am having the same issues.
I tried doing what you posted but still not working.
I also built a new bench away from my settlement as I noticed that even when you put a new bench down it already has a crafter assigned to it. So when I placed the new bench there were no thralls assigned to it. Placed down a fresh thrall and then moved it to the bench and it still did not work.
Sure miss those purple lotus orbs! :slight_smile:

QwQ I want to complete this. I’m on an RP server and it’s a requirement to finish it…

Doesn’t work. I even made sure (before my blacksmith poofed) to open the blacksmith bench and expand the list of bonuses that he was adding to the station. Still didn’t count as completed.

I just did this on a new single player game.
I put a shemite smelter II in the world, then placed him in the green ghost at the forge. took a few seconds, but achievement registered.
as an aside, he hasnt moved from there in last half hour. and yes I have settlements enabled. So maybe this is fixed.

I’m having the same issue on a new run, vanilla, no mods.

Right now I only have one tier-2 armourer and he has self assigned himself to both armourer’s benches (the armour making one and the skin:hide conversion one), plus the tinkerer’s bench and the saddler’s bench.

So one thrall is working four benches and I cannot place another thrall to complete the thralltaker journey step.

I’ve tried this a good number of times with different benches and thralls and still doesn’t seem to work

This has been bugging me, so I created a new game to figure it out.
(single player active co-op)
placed a dafari tanner I in the world.
1st try: placed her in green ghost at tanner table. removed after 1 minute. failure.
2nd try: placed her in green ghost at armor table. removed after 1 minute. failure.
3rd try: changed crafting speed in server settings to .5, placed in green ghost at tanner table. success at 27 seconds.
Maybe you just have to wait out a timer and hope the thrall stays there long enough.

If anyone has any clues or tips for these, I’d be grateful.
I now have quite a few journey tasks that I cannot complete …

Thrall Taker - final step (put a crafter thrall on a workstation) - I’ve done that so many times I’ve lost count but it refuses to complete.
Hardened Steel Smith - first step (gather black ice) - I’ve done Skyfall Ridge a few times and brought lots of Black Ice home, but again it refuses to clear the step.
Masterchef - second step (gather Black Ice) - same as #2 above.
Purge Defender - first step (access or place a treasure coffer) - no points left to unlock making one so I can’t do any of this task.
Raider - first step (access or place a trebuchet) - same as #4 above.
Adventurer - first step (acquire a rare piece of knowledge) - I’m picking up all books, notes, maps, etc. but it won’t complete.
High Priest - first step (Upgrade an altar to the final level) - done that twice, it still does not complete (but I’ll try again in admin mode spawning all the materials in).

Update - I managed to finally clear the above steps in Hardened Steel Smith, Masterchef, Purge Defender (thanks to a friend who’d already unlocked the coffer), and Adventurer. But, the other three are completely unfinishable.

Funcom - you’ve added so many things to the game but you’ve never expanded the player levels or unlock points … this is something desperately needing redone.
