I, uh...broke the quest...?
Ok, for starters, I haven't played this game since the early 9.x patches, so I suspect much might've changed since then. One thing that's changed is that I used to play solo somewhat easily, whereas now, I just get my butt handed to me with this approach.
As such, I decided to join a party to do the "Tools of the Trade" quest and nab the Malus that Charsi wants. So I teamed up with a Barbarian and Sorceress to go through the Barracks and after finally killing the Smith, we could get to the stand where the Malus was. I clicked on the stand, but the Sorceress snagged the Malus. I assumed that there would be a Malus for everyone...at least, I thought that's how it worked before. Anyways, I checked my inventory and nothing resembling a smithing hammer was there. Checked with Charsi and she acted no differently than before. I looked at the quest screen and it said, "The player with the Malus has left the game".
What...the...*&%$#...?
Is this supposed to happen? Why would they patch the game so that team play is encouraged, but only allow one person to get the quest item? Now, I guess I'll have to do it again. Another thing, though...
I also have a Paladin that is just getting into Act 2, but just as he got into Lut Gholein, some other people finished up the Horadric cube quest. It then showed up in my Quest menu as being complete. Obviously, though I didn't automatically have a Horadric Cube in my hands, as I didn't even go outside the city. Does this mean I won't be able to get the cube now...? I did a search for this stuff, sorry if it's already been posted...
