I only needed 1 more book for the Darkmoon Despoiler achievement, but I lost credit for the rest of them. Does this mean I DO NOT have to worry about getting the rest of them, I will get credit once the issues are fixed?

I would like to add that there is some way for people to get -under- the arena in Darkmoon Faire. We had a level 70 loot the chest unhindered while the arena contest was going on, simply because he was under the geometry.

Please fix soon, Blizz. <3

I am in the exact same boat as you; I was only missing 1 item. I don't want to go into detail of how much hassle it was to get some of these items last month. I will be keeping a lookout for a solution from Blizzard. Thanks everyone for reporting it and thanks Blizzard for looking into it.

Does this include not seeing the blue quest items from dungeons drop at all? Or have the drop rates been nerfed through the floor?

I doubt they've been nerfed. My hubby won two of the dungeon items yesterday in the 85 dungeons via RDF.

I may just be having bad luck then. I've only seen one drop in the past month in randoms and farming low level instances like I did last month is coming up empty.

Yes, they hotfixed the low level instance drops; it was inevitable if you read the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide tooltip. And yes, the drop rate is hideously low. I too have only seen 1 item drop in the last month and I run seven heroics a week.

The only issue I'm having is I'm unable to do the quests for adventurer's journal and captured insignia. they both say I've completed them before when trying to start them even though i was able to repeat all the quests for the other darkmoon artifacts.

Ah, must have missed that hotfix.

Ouch. That makes the ticket cost of the items WAY too high if you can't farm these things.

I've got 2 toons that aren't being offered the quest that directs 'em to the Darkmoon Faire. Wouldn't be too a big deal, but without it I can't get the Darkmoon Adventurer's Guide on my main. Anyone else having this issue?

Just talk to the NPC that you would turn the quest into. I think it's the first one you find when entering the fairgrounds. You can ask for a guide even if you don't have the quest.

That happens if the character has done that quest prior to 4.3.

I was trying to find the "Welcome" quest on my alt too, but the NPC to the left as you first walk into the fair offers you a new Book, sans quest.

Should we wait to turn any of the artifact quests in until the investigation is complete? Is there a chance of another reset that would affect anything we turn in now, meaning if we have them all is there any possibility of problems with turning all of the in and getting the achievement now?
