Blizzard confirmed on the official forums Patch 1.1.3 is only a few weeks away. It will contain a fix for players that cannot start or finish certain quests due to their inability to pick up / drop quest items.
Currently, a small subset of players is affected by a bug that prevents them from picking up quest objects because they cannot drop quest items. Blizzard confirmed they are working on a fix for the issue in Patch 1.1.3.
Druidic Spirit Offering – Unable to drop
My quest item stash area is 100% fuill of Druidic Spirit Offering. I am in the middle of the quest line “Druid: Spirits of the Lost Grove”. The task is… pickup the skull of the Spirit Lord.
I can’t drop any of the quest items so I can’t pickup the skull. How can I fix this so my character can progress to the next chapter of quest line.
Directions to reproduce: input 4000 Druidic Spirit Offerings in your quest inventory bag. Then progress through the quest line. You will get stuck.
Bumping this to note that we know there are a very small subset of players who have fallen into a state where they cannot start/finish certain quests. This is one of those instances.
The team has a fix coming but it will be in 1.1.3. I know that may sound a bit away but it should be in the coming few weeks.
Just wanted to note this to players who are experiencing this issue with some quests.
