Quests broken again

The grandaughter quest has been broken for like a week and the cousin quest broke this morning. Someone needs to fix this bug where the quests break every once in a while.

The cousin quest was fixed, but the grandaughter quest was not. So I PMed Bjorn who said something like "She is both visible and on Samurai", and I was like "She hasn't moved for a week and they're supposed to change position every hour or so if nobody finds them. So clearly she's broken." Then Bjorn said "Not necessarily" or something and generally just didn't do a thing.

CLEARLY MY ABILITIES AS A QUESTER WERE BEING CHALLENGED!

Now, I did a pretty hardcore search for her last week, but this time a went back and searched like I never searched before. I checked completely behind every house and tree that could possibly hide her. Then, at last, as all possible places to search were being exhausted, I located the grandaughter and cemented my position as truly the greatest quester to ever live, finding the unfindable grandaughter!

Oh yeah, just one problem. You can't pick up the NPCs if you're on a boat because the Z-Coordinates don't match up or something.

Since I solved the unsolvable quest, I feel I should be compensated since I proved the quest was messed up when the great and powerful admin Bjorn claimed it wasn't even though it obviously was. I deserve an apology and a Cowboy Hat. I might be willing to compromise on the apology though.

Your quest for a Cowboy hat clearly proves you are not the greatest quester of all time.

A quest not yet complete is different from one failed!

She was on samurai island, on the given location, wasn't she? -> She was.

The quest quest is only "broken" if the escort character is active but hidden. Then you can't get it and it has to be fixed.

If you mean the doohicky door one, I found her in the Hirathia Haunted House.

No, she wasn't. Let me break it down for you. The word "island" is comprised of the words "is" and "land", because and island "is land". If something is on water, then by definition it's not on an island.

Yeah, except that the escort character is in a location where you can't get it because you can only get close to her by using a ship and you can't pick her up if you're on a ship. So it's broken.

No. That's the cousin.

She's been there forever, about a week or two ago I was out on a ship with Soala patrolling Samurai and we were trying to line up the ship to pick it up, but to no avail (you actually can pick items up on a ship if you swing the ship into it, and pick it up, it will also start damaging the ship before you move or pick it up)

So it is broken, you can NOT pick her up.

THERE IS INDEED NO QUEST TOO GREAT FOR THE LEGENDARY QUESTER GOOGI!

I'm gonna miss telling people my Gold Shovel could dig up more than 3 easter eggs though.
