Posting on Jedi and FS forums are getting us nowhere as FS has no Cor and Jedi could care less.
This is a crafter problem,DE, ArtisanWS, AS, Arch, everyone. I'm not planning on going Jedi either. I just want the freedom to craft w/o tapes.
Phase II is severely bugged for crafters. If you start the quest. Then leave Dath to pick up the hundreds of loot resources you need to complete and come back, you fail! It is unknown whether it is a true failure or not as Tiggs hasn't answered us!
This is where we need your help!Can you tickle Tiggs, TH, the Devs, to see if (1) they know about this, (2) Is this going to keep us from completing, (3) Will this be fixed before Phase 3.
If you look on the Jedi and FS you'll see alot ofDE's and crafters have this issue. Tiggs has responded to the Combat classes' Whip quest but not to us.
Thanks!

can you define what you mean by "fail"? I'm fairly certain that rewards for that one aren't tallied until the end of the phase because of the whole competitive aspect of the reward system for the quest.

You get a system Message that you have failed the task and it is removed from the questjournal.
The contributed items are still counted.
According to a CSR it should not be possible to fail it at all...

ok. interesting. I haven't gotten that far... maybe it is telling you that your items are not up to snuff and you have no chance of getting the item reward at the end of the phase? only the people who craft the best items will get the reward. If you define not getting the reward as "failure" you most certainly can fail on these, so I don't think the CSR is right about that.
But I haven't gotten to the point where I have made 10 items. People have been reporting that they can turn in more after the 10th though... are you guys who have gotten this message able to do so?

Thanks TK!
No the bug is definately b/c I left Dath. It's very pervasive and I bet a majority of people doing the quest have this bug now just b/c of the sheer amount of loot resources required menas you have a high probability of going off world to get them.
Also, I am a programmer in RL and I tracked this one from the start and did definable steps that I tracked to produce this bug. Ifound out about just after I left Dath so I was looking for it. It is not realted to the competition for the simple reason that (1) I haven't turned in any items yet and (2) I am able to turn them in now for credit. It's just that when you hit 10 items you don't unlock, nothing happens. There is a large thread about thid on FS and Jedi (that is being ignored).

At least to that what a CSR told to me, you are not supposed to unlock then as you can only failor succeed on the end of the phase.
I would still like to hear some words of a dev. to this. It seems a "little bit" unfair to only allow 45 persons to do the quest over 3 weeks AND dont give them the ability to end the quest! If this would happend to all thecombat characters....

A few people have said that they got a "success" message. Those people never left Dath.

Ok, well this sucks. Luckily I havn't done this quest yet, so now I know. Now obviously, I want to bring everything to Dath that I will need now.
Can somebody give a list of what we need, or point to a spoiler thread please? I normally don't mind figuring it out, but not if I get bugged.

This is very upsetting. I have handed in 16 (!) components yet the quest is not complete. About mid-way through, I left the planet (necessary to pick up resources) and got the "mission failed" message when I returned to Dath. The crafting quest info had also vanished from my quest journal. Even if the dev's eventually fix this bug, will I be given credit for the 16 items I turned in and will this quest finally show as completed?

yup. putting a factory down outside the village is the only way to do this mission without leaving dathomir periodically, because the minimum number of resources required to compete the quest is 200 units of these unstackable crates. it's impossible for any single player to carry that many on his person.
the only way to do it without stockpiling in a factory before starting is to stand in the village for a great many hours doing absolutely nothing other than spamming a looping message that begs the combat players to give you their resources.
