I'm doing the long hunt quest and am at pearlwood bluff which is the area where there are the cliffs you are supposed to go to. Now I have explored the entire area and cannot find anything in the area to help progress the quest. Am I missing something or is this a bug that needs to be fixed. I am pretty sure there should be a purple note thing somewhere but it is not on the map for me. Anyone else encountering this issue/what should I do to fix it?
