So.... the balenos questline only had 8 auests on my shai.... as you can see it says 8 out of 8. Basically it was over once i killed red nose. As you can also see, i have 134 quests to do in serendia. But i cannot start them because to start the serendia quest i have to have finished a balenos quest i cannot do because well... my balenos quesline has 8 quests. So I can't complete the quest i need to start serendia. Now if you look at the quest requirements it says either to finish  Balenos questline or the quest Looking for adventurers.... which means finishing Calpheon questline.... which i canb't start because it says i have to finish Serendia. In short as far as i can tell i am effed. 

What the hell is this PA? Anyone knows what's going on? Am i alone? Did I miss something? This is an old character for the record. Like i made it when shai released. So it's not on season server which means i can't accidentally have done simplified questline because i think that's only on season right?

Jesus christ pa why diid you have to revamp the whole damn questlines again and again. its SUCH A damn clusterf*ck., So i check my guardian, she has a questline that i didnt finish, an old questline that is clearly not in the game anymore but youd think it would still be completable on an old alt. But no, says to start it i need to summon Black Spirit. Ok. I do. He doesnt have the quest. What the fuck PA. The ONLY acceptable way of revamping the quests (why though, they were always ass, they were ass then, they are ass now, nobody cares anbout the storyline, it blows, you shouldnt even spend money on writers for this) should have been to remove the old questlines from characters everytime and have us redo it. But you didnt do this. So now depending when you made your char they have a bunch of old obsolete questlines that cannot be finished anymore. It's bs. It's sloppuy. It's stupid. It shit PA. It's really shit.

HEres a solution, on old chars, allow us to go to a NPC we can talk to that will give us the option to erase all the main questlines from our log, (finished or not) and replace them with the new questlines as they are now.  Well at least anything from balenos to Valencia since i dont think you changed any later questlines. That's the only acceptable fix for this BS.

Like the guardian quest mentioned above, i actually realised the Black spirit had given me a summon scroll for giath. I go to the place to summon giath. Doesnt work. Cause i guess this summon scoll is an old obsolete version because the questline im on hasnt been available for newer chars in years? Who knows, but point is, i cant finish that questline. Nor will i ever be able to to serendia or calpheon on that char since i cant finish balenos.

Can you show a complete overview over the quests on your Shai? Usually the serendia quest gets blocked due to some other quest being incomplete. If you show me all the quest, I might be able to figure out what you need to do.

As far as I know, all the old questlines are still available and completable, PA never removed them from the game, only replaced them (if not started), or just added the new one on top. So if we can figure out what quest blocks you from accepting it, all should be fixable
