Fixed: #4823
Save at least 6 Sprite Darters from capture (Not be counted quest credit)

Branch: 3.3.5
TC hash/commit: d9dcbbc

core_version: rev. 2ae85d8 2016-05-13 23:20:47 +0200 (3.3.5 branch) (Unix, Release)
db_version: TDB 335.61

I think saving the Sprite Darters doesn't count for Kodekc. ?? But it does for me – just tested.

Sorry, in a hurry in the morning...After escort Captured Sprite Darter, quest does not count

[lyn1337]

For me, it did. Checked again with a fresh (english) install. Had some wine + performance issues, hope the vid works.

I'm not aware of the correct behavior, but I think the quest timer should stop when six of them were fully rescued. Also, the quest doesn't fail if Kindal Moonweaver (7956) dies.

I think that this quest was removed in Cataclysm

Since this quest has been removed in 4.0.3a, can the darter be obtained still or is it also removed?

[The subject of this article was removed from World of Warcraft in patch 4.0.3a.]

It should still be working in the 3.3.5 branch, though, even if it is removed from newer branches/clients. Kodekc did link his 3.3.5 rev. hash, so this is a valid issue post.

I just tested it now on TrinityCore rev. d812505 2016-05-16 18:45:44 +0200 (3.3.5 branch) (Win64, Release) and it appears that you are able to escort the Sprite Darters (http://www.wowhead.com/npc=5278/sprite-darter) out of the cage, at least if you're well enough geared and above level 40, to be able to fight off the Grimtotem clan members. I escorted the Sprite Darters to freedom (see image below):

The issue seems to be that the Quest Giver, Kindal Moonweaver (http://www.wowhead.com/npc=7956/kindal-moonweaver) says she is going to be back at her hideout with Jer'kai Moonweaver (http://www.wowhead.com/npc=7957/jerkai-moonweaver), but she was not there when I rode back. Notice that this quest has a time limit of 6 minutes to complete both freeing the sprite darters and returning to Kindal Moonweaver to turn in the quest, so it failed for me at both my attempts. I have not tried to troubleshoot why Kindal Moonweaver does not seem to respawn at her original spot.

[lyn1337]

Kindal Moonweaver (7956) does spawn again, the issue with this is the timer not stopping after completing the task itself.

Thanks for confirming this really useful info. I was uncertain about the timer vs the quest giver behaviour.

Since NPC 7956 uses SAI, here are the script lines. See if you can find out why the quest credit fails.

#15279 [3.3.5] Core/quest: Timed quests shouldn't turn failed once completed
#15860 [3.3.5] Core/Item: Questitem not deleted after canceling the quest edit: seems to be solved.
#17285 [3.3.5] DB / locales_item: add missing localization for item "Bamboo Cage Key"

[lyn1337]

• Quest giver "Kindal Moonweaver" is set to despawn (SMART_ACTION_FORCE_DESPAWN) in SAI after 360000ms (== Quest TimeAllowed), but instead she dies in place plus leaving a corpse.
• Quest giver "Kindal Moonweaver" needs the full respawn time (see below) to appear back at her spawn pos, after she despawns on quest completion. Instead, she should show up there right after her despawn.
• The "Bamboo Cage Key" (entry: 12301) (Quest Startitem) should be removed when the quest fails or Kindal dies. ← not completely sure about this, it's been some time since I did this on retail. But makes sense.

Suggestion: Remove the "Priority-Cosmetic" label
The quest can't be done as intended, as long as #15279 is not fully fixed. The quest giver needs 2 minutes to respawn (see above) because of the default corpse.decay.normal time being 60 seconds plus 60 seconds of the creatures spawntimesecs in creature_template.
As a consequence, there are only 4 minutes left for the player to fully complete all tasks involved.
This includes at least:

1. Running to the cage after the quest was accepted
2. defeating all enemies on the way. while protecting the very weak Kindal (she will attack), which is known to be quite hard (see wowhead comments)
3. escorting the dragons + Kindal, defeat more enemies on the way
4. return to Kindal

This is quite tough and simply not enough time. (see tkroklis experience or my vid where I had to pre-clear the area)
