No Gold For Quests?

I've noticed since the patch that quests are no longer awarding cash rewards, just xp. And i do mean ALL quests. Some of my older quests are still rewarding cash, but every single quest i picked up today offered nothing but xp. I saw noghitn about this in the patch notes and ive disabled all my mods and tried again.


I can't be the only one noticing this? I expect that once people burn through their older quests and start to pick up newer ones we may see some more posts here.



Can we please get a blue to address this?

What quests are you attempting that are not awarding coin, Sindrah?

I ran into this last night as well. Nearly all of my quests in dragonblight only gave xp, no gold or even rep i believe. Also the pvp daily gave no gold or arena points.


I will ask again then. :)

Which quests? Since you aren't posting on the character, Vaylen, it would help if you give me the name and realm of the character that you did those quests on.

I've disabled all my addons and reset my UI .. also noticed that none of the quests in Bor' Gorok Outpost are awarding cash for me either


I'm checking this out but thus far it seems that these quests are awarding gold. Have you checked your gold total before you turn in the quest and check your total afterward, Sindrah?

Hi again Vrak. This is the toon I was questing on last night. I don't remember the exact quests but I was mostly working on quest chains from Agmar's hammer and the Wormrest temple. I haven't done any quests since so I don't know if its still going on.

Thanks


This may very well be a display issue then or a bug with the quest text itself as I do show you receiving coin when you are turning in quests.

The Fate of the Ruby Dragonshrine: 1 gold 50 silver
Mystery of the Infinite: 11 gold 80 silver
Seeds of the Lashers: 5 gold 60 silver
That Which Creates Can Also Destroy: 16 gold 80 silver
In Search of the Ruby Lilac: No gold unless level capped
Return to Soar: No gold unless level capped
Strength of Icemist: No gold unless level capped
Chains of the Anub'ar: No gold unless level capped
The Flesh-Bound Tome: No gold unless level capped
Koltira and the Language of Death: No gold unless level capped
Scourge Armaments: No gold unless level capped
The Might of the Horde: No gold unless level capped
Attack by Air!: No gold unless level capped
Where the Wild Things Roam: 5 gold 30 silver
Prevent the Accord: 10 gold 60 silver

It pretty much continues this way, Phaylen, until you log out a couple hours later.

Ok thanks Vrak, it must be a display issue of some kind on my end.


If you can try resetting your User Interface and seeing if that corrects the issue I would appreciate it.

1) *IMPORTANT* Exit the World of Warcraft to your desktop by logging out of the game and exiting. If World of Warcraft isn't closed, then these steps won't have the desired effect.
2) If you used an "installer" for a custom UI, see if it has an "uninstaller" and use it.
3) Inside the World of Warcraft Program Folder, delete the "WTF," "Cache," and "Interface" folders.
4) Restart your computer.
5) Please do not reinstall Addons prior to testing the issue you were experiencing.
6) Make sure that you are using WOW.EXE or LAUNCHER.EXE to start the game. Please do not run any UI installers beforehand, as we want to eliminate them as part of the issue.
7) Upon launching the game, you should see the Intro cinematic movie and be prompted to agree to the Terms of Use. Once you authenticate past the login screen, the “AddOns” button should no longer be visible at the lower left corner of the character selection screen. Both points mentioned previously must hold true if you should complete the aforementioned steps correctly.

If it persists even after you rest your UI please post in the Bug Report forums so we can get our Quality Assurance team to look into it.

Q u o t e:
if you are able to check gold for quest turn ins then please check mine as well. I have been playing on Ðomina - server is Draenor and as i said, my quests were out of agmars hammer but i also checked a few other places, ( tho didnt bother to do any quests as they were not paying out) and found the same problem. I have only checked in dragonblight and borean tundra (Bor Gorok Outpost)

Thanks for any help :)


I show that you have completed 9 quests today on that character, between 12/10 21:43 GMT and 12/10 23:41 GMT so I confined my search to those times.

Strength of Icemist
Chains of the Anub'ar
The Flesh-Bound Tome
Scourge Armaments
The Might of the Horde
Koltira and the Language of Death
Attack by Air!
Return of the High Chief
In Service of the Unholy

All of these quests reward experience, some faction and some with armor or weapons. Unless level capped you do not receive coin.

Q u o t e:
its not in dragoblight im in gundrak.. so i dont understand did they just stop giving out gold complelty untill you hit 80? than started giving out the gold again? if so this is retrated and they need to change it back as in 3.2


Quests have varying rewards. They usually will reward experience, sometimes rep, sometimes an item or coin.

If you are currently at a level cap, such as level 80, the experience you normally would have received is converted into coin.

If you have some sample quests that you would like me to look into, please let me know. If this is not the character that you are having an issue on please give me the name and realm of the character.

All of these quests are currently in your quest log and have yet to be turned in. The request would have been for a quest that stated coin as a reward but you don't believe you received any. To go through the listed quests though.

Enchanted Tiki Warriors and The Key of Warlord Zol'Maz only awards experience Hexed Caches awards experience an a choice of an item.

Wooly Justice awards experience and 6 gold 50 silver plus the choice of an item.

Q u o t e:

but i know for a fact while leveling my Bbills i gained about 4k out of items and GOLD from quests,


That may be true, Heelzftw, but that doesn't mean you get gold for each quest, in many cases you do not.

Feel free to look any of these quests up on some third party sites, you will see that they confirm what you should get.

So far this seems to only be a perceived issue.
