Broken Hero Challenge - Searing Cauldron (Iron Marches) [Merged]

[FranFrau.7582]

Players cannot commune with the Searing Cauldron Hero Challenge located in the southern part of Iron Marches.

[Luxyfeer.5980]

Same, presents an error, for many players, who cannot take said point, because when interacting it does not work, it does nothing.
Greetings.

Maybe something to do with new skyscale collections requiring hpoint interaction

[Maiku.6309]

Yup, broken for me too... Hope they fix this soon.

But, the hero point is necessary to complete the map and in turn finish the world map. (Gift of Exploration).

What happens when you try?

[Chaba.5410]

Use /bug when at the cauldron and check the box that says it's blocking progress.

[Fuzz.7354]

Experiencing the same issue at the moment.

[Luxyfeer.5980]

Same issue .

[Mosser.6197]

Same I'm there right now, telling everyone to submit the bug report. Hopefully they fix this soon. No leggie for us :(

[Princesar.7912]

Same here :(

If you really need this "NOW" then consider buying the hero point from WvW vendor.

Not like you can get much

[FranFrau.7582]

I bought two (because the first one didn't work), and I can now confirm that it does not unlock the point either.

I created another thread before this one for the hero point, and I can confirm that purchasing does not unlock it either.

[Inculpatus cedo.9234]

Was that the last Hero Challenge you needed for all of Core Tyria?  If not, then the Scroll may have 'unlocked' a different Hero Challenge. 

[tbloodworth.4197]

Same issue here. Can't progress Astralaria any furthur until I can use the cauldron to make the Ultra Hot Sphere.

[Chazer.7319]

Same for me too. Can't interact with the cauldron.

[Viticus.8943]

I contacted support, got this, still cant complete the challenge. I also am at 99% needing this as my last point, I tried the wvw and bought 6, none of them worked.

Hello,
 
Thank you for contacting Guild Wars 2 Support Team.
 
We understand your concern regarding the Searing Cauldron and upon checking, we can see that this hero challenge does not have the same starting icon as the many of the other ones of the commune type. 
 
In addition to this, you cannot use the cauldron to produce an Ultra Hot Sphere while Quartz Crystals are also in your inventory in addition to the sphere's ingredients. Instead, you will only be shown the prompt to produce a Charged Quartz Crystal until the quartz is no longer in your inventory or you make a charged crystal at a different hero challenge.

[Miss Chief.2073]

Each time there is an update I head over to check to see if they have fixed the cauldron but no. Its been days now that people have been waiting to get there map completion done with this the last thing needed.  Please fix this!

[whateverthisnamecanbe.3615]

Or to do Astralaria III Ultrahot Sphere
