Help! Can't finish "Joining the Guard" quest!

[Malique]

Hi all

I'm trying to do this Joining the Guard quest, where one has to ask various NPC's about Thorian Gronk and his illegal dealings. I've gotten up to the point where Jayose tells me I need to ask an alchemist about him, but I've asked all the alchemists I can find in Hydlaa and not one of them seems to understand me! So far I've tried: About Thorian Gronk, About Thor Grok, About alchemy, About potion making, About potion, Jayose sent me, and About advanced alchemy, and I've asked Levrus, the alchemist in the arena, and the alchemist on top of the tavern. I asked Thorian about alchemy, and he mentions that he makes an illegal potion from forbidden plants in the Stone Labyrinths, but this doesn't seem to help either. Is this a bug, or do I and seemingly everyone online whenever I ask simply not know this quest? Most people don't even seem to know this quest exists!

Well, we are not allowed to give out quest information, since it is considered spoiler. So don't expect an answer to what exactly you have to do now. What I can tell though, is that you are missing something... no one would believe you what you have found out about Thorian, unless you are able to provide the guards with some sort of proof... .

If you need more help, ask people ingame, on an IC way.

Well then there's an NPC hiding somewhere that I've overlooked, because I've just asked every NPC I could find in Hydlaa, and they all gave me a blank stare.  The closest thing to a clue I've gotten would take me someplace I don't have access to without doing several other quests first. 

btw ... Hydlaa is quite the pain in the a*** to scour for NPC's ... has taken me be the better part of a day.
