"The Stone Sheath" Quest STILL bugged

I realize this topic has been posted a few times, however, I read that the devs “fixed” it. This isn’t working for me, apparently. I simply grab the stone sheath and go to the marked green area, and nothing happens for me. I’ve tried completing this quest multiple times over the course of a few months to no avail. I’ve actually been playing a lot less GW2 as of late, for there is less incentive to play when I can’t move forward in my story. This is very frustrating for me, please fix it.

I haven’t been able to replicate this issue, so I need more specific info. What was your current objective? Did you find the sheath by picking up a relic, or did you pick up enough that it marked the relic for you? (If you pick up enough relics without finding the sheath, it will mark the location for you.) Which objectives (if any) were NOT marked as complete at the end? Just the final step? Or were they all marked as complete, but the story step didn’t complete?

Thanks!

I can’t reproduce that issue, I’ve now done the story step 3 times in a row with no issues. Picking up 6 relics without finding the scabbard will mark it on the map. There’s nothing preventing it from being picked up—were you getting an F interact prompt? The inability to use skills is also suspicious, since the scabbard does not disable or affect your skills in any way.
