Ashes of Creation Hand Eye Coordination Bug Fix
Ashes of Creation has a few early quests that feel rough, and Hand Eye Coordination is one of them. The quest looks simple, but the clue drop can fail to trigger, which makes it feel broken even when it technically is not.
Straight Fix for the Hand Eye Coordination Quest
The Hand Eye Coordination bug is fixed by abandoning the quest and re accepting it, then killing and looting goblins in a different area or immediately looting the first goblin you kill. The clue does not always drop if the quest state desyncs.
Why the Quest Stops Working
This issue appears to be tied to quest state tracking. The goblins still drop Glint, but the quest item does not register.
The game does not clearly signal when the quest is active or bugged. There are also no tooltips to confirm progress, which makes this worse.
Reliable Fix Methods That Work
These methods consistently fix the issue based on player testing.
Abandon the Hand Eye Coordination quest
Re accept the quest from the NPC
Travel to a different goblin camp if available
Kill a goblin and loot it immediately
Do not kill multiple goblins before looting
Most players report the clue dropping on the first or second goblin after doing this.
Extra Tips to Avoid It Breaking Again
Small habits help prevent the quest from bugging out again.
Loot goblins as soon as they die
Avoid over pulling packs of enemies
Stay in one quest area at a time
If nothing drops after several kills, reset early
Yes, it is annoying. No, you are not blind. The quest really does bug out.
Final Blurb
Hand Eye Coordination is not hard, it is just fragile. A quick abandon and re accept usually fixes everything and lets the clue drop normally. Until quest tracking gets polished, patience and quick looting win the day.
