Quest "The Best For Last" bug

[Acid]

Hi there, I have a bug during this quest. I don't have the option when talking to Barnaby to start the fight or anything related to fight.
Any idea ?

[Arden]

I didn't have the option too. But went and cleared the bandit camp and when I came back I could ask him about it and trade with him. No idea what is the trigger.

[Chance Hale]

Same here, did kill the two bandits in the nearby camp but didn't trigger the dialogue option for me unfortunately

Edit: ran back to the camp and got everything out of the chest and the dialogue worked. Doubt that was the trigger but just running around the camp for a bit made it work none the less. Thanks!

[Silluin / Naerydan]

I also didn't have the option when talking to Barnaby so I did exactly what Arden did: cleared the camp and came back to him. It worked, the option to talk about fighting was there.

where's the bandit camp? im having the same issue but i dont recall having to for bandits for him.

[The Konrad]

Much obliged. Returning to the camp (to the North East East) helped.
One of the executed bandits despawned already the other one I flung down a cliff, and now I can ask my guy there about his grandmaster status.

Thank you, this worked for me

There's a window of time after he finishes eating breakfast (between 09:00-10:00) where the option to fight comes up, regardless of what you did up on the rocks...
I can only guess that you must ask when he isn't engaged in any other scripted activity.

this worked for me; after clearing the camp, nothing changed with the herbalist, but waiting until 9am unlocked the dialog to fight
