Description

Quest 40379 — Enter the Illidari: Coilskar is currently broken in the Demon Hunter starting experience.

The first quest objective, "Soul sacrificed", cannot be completed because the required Ashtongue Mystic (Creature 99914) cannot be interacted with. The NPC is present in the correct area, has npcflag = 1 and AIName = SmartAI, and the required gossip/SmartAI database entries are present, but the gossip interaction is not available to the player.

The quest objective is:
Quest: 40379
Objective: 280770
ObjectID / Creature: 99914
Description: Soul sacrificed
Required amount: 1

The database contains the expected gossip menu (19015) and option (Mystic, thank you for your sacrifice.). The corresponding SmartAI action casts spell 196724.

Steps to reproduce

Start a Demon Hunter character and progress to quest 40379 - Enter the Illidari: Coilskar.
Travel to the quest objective area on the Broken Shore / Molten Shore.
Locate Ashtongue Mystic (Creature 99914).
Attempt to interact with the NPC.
The expected gossip interaction for sacrificing the Mystic's soul is not available.
The quest objective "Soul sacrificed" remains incomplete (0/1).

Expected behavior

The player should be able to interact with Ashtongue Mystic (99914) and select:
Mystic, thank you for your sacrifice.
This should trigger the existing SmartAI action and cast spell 196724, resulting in the quest objective "Soul sacrificed" (280770) being completed.
Afterwards, the player should be able to use the Legion Gateway Activator and continue quest 40379.

Actual behavior

Ashtongue Mystic (99914) cannot be interacted with, so the gossip option for sacrificing the Mystic's soul does not appear.

As a result:
Soul sacrificed remains 0/1
the next quest objectives cannot be progressed normally
quest 40379 cannot be completed through the intended gameplay flow.
