For those playing Diablo 4 and in the Scosglen region, you won’t be able to fully complete that section, as the Diablo 4 Stolen Artifice quest cannot be accessed currently. If it’s not showing up, it’s not just you.
Update: Blizzard has just patched the bug in this quest and it should be back to normal.
Diablo 4 Stolen Artifice Quest Bug and Why It’s Not Showing Up:
Blizzard has disabled the quest, and here’s the announcement by the studio’s Community Manager:
The team has disabled the ‘Stolen Artifice’ quest line in Scosglen until our next scheduled hotfix. We do not have a current ETA on that hotfix but this will lead to players not being able to fully complete the Scosglen zone until this is addressed.
We appreciate all the reports regarding this specific quest and will update everyone once a hotfix is ready and deployed.
As you can see, there is no ETA on when this quest will be re-integrated back into the game. While the quest itself is quite straightforward since the player just needs to hunt a bandit named Darcel, a glitch has surfaced that causes up to a dozen copies of the bandit to spawn. Given the enemy’s fast attack speed, you can just imagine how this would be a cause of grief for most players.
For those curious or need to be reminded of this, the quest is started by Merryn and is in the Wailing Hills zone.
Once a new hotfix or if the quest is brought back, we’ll let our readers know.
