Harnquist is still bugged yes.
It's very easy to explain what is wrong with him.

Harnquist has got a sleepingmode added to his system.
When this mode starts, then he walk to his house and becomes invisible.
At that moment a timer is running and should wake him up again.
He should become visible again and walk back to his shop.

The problem is with the timer.
Harnquist does not get a signal back or is interpreted wrong by the server, when the timer expires.
This results that Harnquist remains at his location, does not walk back and does not become visible again.

A server crash resets the sleepingmode for a few minuts, but turns on, after these minuts and the problem is back.

I have send a message to the developers about this problem already.
Greetings,

Tarel Barilele

If this keeps up Harnquist will be out of business! (It would be pretty funny if when the problem was fixed, Harnquist was replaced with a new NPC who did the same things, and if you asked him about Harnquist he'd say "He left because he was tired of all the people crowding around his shop and even bugging him at home to do things.")

Maybe we should replace harnquist with an enki cause they don't usually sleep  ;D

I thank the Gms and Devs for implementing all these things in OJaveda .....

 :) The Gm's don't impliment anything we just police the game and make sure everything is how it should be, etc. Only the dev's have that authority.

I think Harnquist is probably running off to have a drink with the potion lady above the tavern. (Forgot her name)  :whistling: They were a little cozy at Zorbels birthday party, and I have since seen them attend events in the tavern and sneak into the corner to hang out with one and other.

If you had asked in-game on the plaza, many people would've responded that he's gone untill the next server reboot/crash.
We're not evil. We're simply amazing.

Ask in game! People do answer. I have answered that at least 10 times today.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

Harnquist has been missing today (and may continue to be missing tomorrow) due to a quest exploit that can very easily gain people a truly silly amount of tria. He's been put in a box until this exploit is given a stern talking to, and Harnquist sends his apologies to all the eager miners and crafters milling about his equipment in his absence.
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

Or an old one broke.

Edit:  In thinking about what quests Harny is involved in, the third option, an existing quest became expliotable with the changes made to his surroundings in a recent release of the game.  I think the quest I'm thinking of can be done multiple times, but I didn't think the pay out was that high to be used as an exploit even with it being able to complete it so easily.  I guess if someone was really bored enough they could do that over and over again for the reward each time and after awhile they could amass a small fortune. *shrugs*

You didn't even have to complete the quest in order to get an item you could sell back, over and over. Once you got the quest, it was a matter of repeating a single phrase as many times as you'd want - as simple as hitting the up arrow and then Enter, infinitely. It's a problem with the quest script itself. (New quest.)

Ah, like how it used to be with the falka quest.
