Can't pick Joseph's Ring

ShapiroKeatsDarkMage

I found a bug that doesn't alow you to select Joesph's body in the Nashkel Mines.

Avenger_teambg

I don't think the ring is on a body.
Write the area and coordinates which body you meant.
(ctrl-x)

Balquo

The ring is just north of the dead body and had absolutely no issues with picking it up.

Camio

I stumbled on the same issue, for me there is not even a body (despite picking up the quest). I also run around pressing "tab" so I couldn't have randomly missed it.

Same as before, press ctrl-x and give the area/position where you expect the ring.

The ring is not ON the corpse.

Actually I would like to say that ring is where it should be Mouse Position: 1590,255 Tile Position:24,3 Search Square:99,21 Area: AR5403

Ring is just sitting on the ground at the beginning of the third level, as always.

Avenger_teambg

Ok, moving this to not-issue

neuromancer

Actually I'm seeing the same problem. I'm scouring all over the start of the third level and there is no ring, or body. I'm running the BGEE local install (as I didn't feel like installing yet another stupid game client just to play one game).

I'm hitting tab, I'm moving the mouse all over, nothing.

Also note that I had made it into the mines before heading back and getting the quest.

Ctrl-X doesn't do anything, so I can't find the specific spot I should look.

Grieg

@neuromancer you can also use "x" it is similar function

Maybe you have rested in the mines too much.
If you rest for long, items on the ground disappear. So this could happen.

edit; I have found it,its on the railroad tracks right as you entered 3rd level
x=1599 y=265 AR5403

Ah, now that may make sense. I'm not sure how many times I rested before I started to look for it, so I can't be certain of that, but that could explain it.

It really should not vanish.

Avenger_teambg

I understand that, but this cannot be changed, if this item is marked critical, you cannot sell it. Then what is the goal of the evil path (keeping the ring).

I understand but is there journal entry for the selling? If not there is no real evil path because it is like not doing the quest at all. And after cleaning of the mines Joseph's wife still doesn't know about her husband which is strange enough.
Why not make a body shaped container? Or something like with Magreb's wife in Adoy's place? I guess it won't vanish from there and you can still sell it if you want.

Arthursilverblade

up
I play on IPad and sorry but i don't find the ring, there's no body and no ring in 3rd level. solutions?
thx
Marco

Arthursilverblade

Nobody can help me, pls?
Thx

HellsChicken

I couldn't find it either. There was most certainly nothing at the mentioned coordinates. Must have been because I rested too much. That's unfortunate

Got the same issue, I am also sure neuromancer is right. I am not sure if it should be that way.

ankheg

Funny, according the patchlog it's fixed.

FreckleBunny

I play on the iPad. It was there, but I couldn't pick it up and then it vanished, but I don't have it.

It should be marked critical, and it should then have an option for the evil path where you go up to joseph's wife and say (player's choice):
1. "(lie) I found your husband's corpse" ... "No I did not see a ring"
2. "How much will you pay me for it"
2a. "Here you go" (gives her the ring at less than you can sell it for)
2b. "Oh that is far less than its worth, I am going to keep it".
Choosing either 2b or 1 will result in the plot critical ring being removed from the inventory and replaced by an a near identical ring that isn't plot critical. Simple.

PS. what is its item number? I want to spawn a replacement using the console

@taltamir You've probably figured this out given that its been 2 weeks since your post, but if you want to know the item code for joseph's ring its "ringjos". So it would look like...

CLUAConsole:CreateItem("ringjos")

thank you
