Of Ash and Steel

So you did the work. You tracked down every pirate treasure spot, dug up all the chests, grabbed the loot… and now Firs just stares at you like nothing happened. You check your inventory and—yep—there it is:only ONE “Captain’s Golden Treasure” instead of five. Bad news: the quest is bugged.Good news: you didn’t do anything […]

You bought the keys.You cracked open every locked chest in the City Market.You turned around… and Cat was gone. Before you start backtracking saves, Googling “hidden quest,” or hunting for secret triggers: this is exactly how it’s supposed to work in Of Ash and Steel. Cat is a one-time NPC whose entire purpose is tied

So you did the right thing.You handed out coins, helped the beggars, got the gutted fish… and then Arliss turns around and says you stole the money. Yeah — that’s not on you. If you’re stuck with the Arliss Charity Quest bug in Of Ash and Steel, you’ve hit a known quest issue that’s tripping

Hey, if you’re like a ton of players right now—finally get told to talk to “this guy” after grinding those three village quests, show up at the Free Hunters camp, and… nothing? No chat options? Total buzzkill, right? You’re not bugged. It’s probably the wrong time of day or the wrong dude. The quick fix:
