Could you provide at list of quests you can edit with startQuest? Is there a way other than startQuest to reset a quest? Can you remove a quest completly and than start it again?

Description: If you have them ITEM_QUEST_Bekarna_Almanac before robbing Arkemyr you get a bug. When you give the clay tablet to your client, the imp summons you to the Manson. But Arkemyr is already at the glowing pool in the labratory not in his study. He will talk to the council and take the research quest item from you. After this he will talk to you and give you the quest again. The quest is instantly finished. But Arkemys dialog is stuck and will ask if you need directions to the Bekarnas tower. If you cheat and use giveitem ITEM_QUEST_Bekarna_Almanac you can give it to him. But then he will activate the pool again, keeps looking at it, but you can't interact with the pool (you get the message the pool is empty). So you can't get the next quest (most likely to find the book of storms, it is my first play through and have just found it randomly). By the way you can not finish the Bekarna quest without stealing from Arkemy first, even if it start when you find the researchs. I play very randomly and love explore before taking quests. It looks like this is a bit of gamebreaking for POE2. But the world is realy big and komplex, so you could expect a few bugs. Steps to Reproduce the Issue: Take the quest the arch mages vault, don't do it, get ITEM_QUEST_Bekarna_Almanac , sneak into the mansion. (Sometimes a glitch happens and Arkemyr stands at the pool). Steal from the vault, return to the clay tablet to your client, get invited. Go into the mansion, Arkemyr is in the lab and talks to arch mage council instead of giving you the quest. You can not tell him you got the quest item. PS: My savegames (Ubuntu 16.04, no mods) are around 4MB in size. Please set a less strict upload maximum (maybe 5 MB?) for uploads in this forum.

You can't have found the notes of Bekarna's Folly and start the quest. Arkemyr is already communicating with the arch mage council and you can give them the notes. Then the quests starts and immediately finishes. But Arkemyr dialogs is stuck too: "do you need directions to Bekarnas tower?".

TL DR: If you take the Archmage Vault Quest but do other quests first glitches will appear (actived communication pool). If you take the Arch Mages Vault Quest, but skip it and get the books of storm and do the Bekarna's Folly quest by chance first (I love driving around randomly and kill discover things), you can't just go to Arkemyr and talk to him. He is not in his study. He sometimes glitches in his labratory at the activate communication pool. Sometimes is just missing. You can use the pool and talk to the arch mage council and Arkemyr. The are talking about Bekarna's studies. When Arkemyr is glitched in, you can talk him and he talks about the robbery of his vault (which did not happen yet). There is no way to cancel the quest to rob the Vault. This is not the intended sequence of events, but this is how I played.

There is still this bug. I was not sure if I want to join the Nobles Without Land. I updated from 1.0.2 to 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 and the bug still persists. The Linux Gog Version is used. "Dunnage I (Two-Eyed-Pim): If you talk to him for the first time and show Benweth's soulenet you can ask for the 4th chair on the consuaglo. However, if you do not choose this option before asking what the consuaglo even is (and you technically don't know very well) the option goes away entirely. This should be still available I reckon even if you ask other questions first as you still have killed Benweth and hold his soulenet."

Updated to 1.1.1 today, bug is still around. "Dunnage I (Two-Eyed-Pim): If you talk to him for the first time and show Benweth's soulenet you can ask for the 4th chair on the consuaglo. However, if you do not choose this option before asking what the consuaglo even is (and you technically don't know very well) the option goes away entirely.
