Dwarven Apprentice (Sara) missing?

[Dollmaker]

Shes just gone.

Before you ask, yes i checked the morgue, she wasnt there, and ive waited as well in the store cause doing her quest pretty much guarantees she falls in love with you so she follows you around, not there either, i slept to reset NPCs, nothing.

I also checked on my house at Battahl and she isnt there waiting for me to escort her.

She just vanished.

[Dollmaker]

Well, i checked, Sara was her name, yeah still cant find her.

[Wrath]

have you unlocked her as a vendor?
if not you probably need to complete her quest in volcanic island.

Yeah i have completed her quest and had her shop and upgrades available.

I also did the Elven quest where she helps us so she isnt missing cause of that either.

She wonders off,its extremely annoying because after you complete her quest she just goes through the city,otherwise she stays at the shop,i think this was a troll from devs or an oversight,you can catch her behind the shop where the vocation guild in the city is,sometimes...or just look for her around the shop or wait a massive amount of time in there,dont sleep as that will reset her pattern

In the end game she does the same btw,its even more annoying as she is needed for dwarven upgrades,best upgrades in game

You can also check vermund house if you have it,there are NPCs from battahl who go there for escort quests,i know at least one,dont know Sara as i didnt do her escort quest

I dont think she appears there, besides, i doubt she would spawn in Vermund when im all the way in Battahl.

I didnt want to spoil that,i dont know if op got to that NPC yet,i had a portcrystal to his location but i am in NG+ now and probably will do the same

Not all,Sara has a separate path that leads her around the city and if you are in the end game and follow her you will see she doesnt go near your house but on another path actually following her master dwarf

I dont think she appears there, besides, i doubt she would spawn in Vermund when im all the way in Battahl.

there are NPC from battahl that come to vermund for a follow up quest

[M.T. Fish]

If her affinity is maxed and you go to the Volcanic Base Camp she'll try to follow you there for the hot springs. It takes her a couple of days to return.

It's really dumb.

[Shin Happens]

Sara is probably bugged in various ways... she disappeared from my game too, but reappeared after going back to Vermund and returning to Bakbattahl after a few days.
But her bugged behaviour is still present even in the endgame, she walks away ALL the time and once she leaves the shop area she won't even trigger the enhancement dialogue when you talk to her, and apparently she tries to walk all the way back to Bakbattahl... which is insane. Only quitting the game and then quickly running to the place where the smithy is helped. Or you may try to carry her back to the shop area.

I would suggest you use the dwarf for the smithing. You can unlock him at any time and his quest is really easy.

Another Sara bug... she fell in love with me and started following me around EVERYWHERE... I had to fast travel away to stop this behaviour.

There is only one moment in the story where Sara is supposed to disappear, but that is before she becomes the dwarven smith option, when the tries to learn the technique. All other instances are certainly bugs. Again, just use the dwarf, much less of a hassle.

[Dollmaker]

So in general, this NPC is bugged as hell.

Great... well time to waste a portscrystal on that other Dwarf cause hes in the middle of freaking nowhere.

[Simbolic]

Far as I can tell she does visit the mine and hot springs. She should return to the city within few days maybe a week at the worse. If doesn't return idk she must of got stuck on travels or is dead in another crypt.

[Dollmaker]

Well shes finally back.

Guess shes done with her little trip, seriously why does a vendor and smith of all people capable of leaving their post at random?

._.

[Simbolic]

My guess is cuz she is more of a bonus vendor instead of an official one. She also has the same stock as the vendor at the hot springs area. Which likely makes her wares even less important. Not being as valuable as the other vendors. Since without her you can still obtain the same exact items from the official one. That also offers a few more things that she doesn't sell.

[Sockpuppe]

I found her in the volcanic springs...
