[1.5.5][Linux] Anglowen Not Available?

[DaveStall]

I started a new game recently after the 1.5.5 update. I am a halfling rogue (level 14) and have not betrayed any escorts. The quest giver to find the city of Anglowen is nowhere to be found on the map ("An Apprentice Task"). Is this a bug or has something changed to trigger this quest? I am already using some runes so I would rather not go the anti-magic route if possible.

I'm having this same issue with a Shalore Temporal Warden (1.5.5 Mac, not Linux). I'm pretty sure the Angolwen apprentice has never been on the map when I left Point Zero for Maj'Eyal.

EDIT: I tried removing all addons except the official ones (Ashes, Item Vault, Possessor) and that didn't fix it either.

Is it possible to edit files in the game.teag to restore him to map? I found the apprentice in mod.class.WorldNPC file (he has life), and I see a reference in engine.Level to load him, but I"m not sure how to actually call it (again?) and place him on the map.

IIRC, Temporal Wardens can't go to Angolwen. No, I don't know why either. Especially since I'm fairly certain Paradox Mages can...

I just created an Ogre TW and actually spawned right next to the apprentice post-Point Zero, gave him my Shard and unlocked Angowlen; so my Shalore TW seems to have had a different issue. Thank you for your reply though, that was a good thought!

This happened again with a Cornac Paradox Mage; I then created another Cornac PM, and the apprentice did appear.

I think this is happening with Chronomancers because after leaving Point Zero, they spawn near Angolwen. I'm guessing the bug occurs if you spawn where the apprentice is supposed to be loaded.

I've had this problem in 1.5.5 as well. Perhaps some kind of check could be added to choose a new worldmap spawn location if the default one contains an NPC, or the Chronomancer classes could spawn on a city tile instead?

Shibari fixed this for 1.6, in the meantime.... it sucks

[Sinister Stairs]

Thanks for the info.

I suspect Zigur also suffers from a similar bug, as I had a brand new character with no Zigur on the map. (Halfling Skirmisher, thus no mana, vim, pos/neg, etc.) Could a patrol have wiped out Zigur from spawning?

Anyways, for anyone who wants a "hotfix" for 1.5.5 I wrote an addon which fixes Zigur, and it should be pretty easy to include the apprentice mage.
