The hidden path

[Alkaline]

I'm new to Grim dawn so I am not sure if this is by design or not.
I've yet to beat the game but on my highest character I have started the hidden path quest line and gathered 2 of the runes. However when I try and start the quest on an different character none have been able to get the rune or the note to drop from the first boss. Can only one character work on this quest? Are the quest items not 100% drop rate? or am i bugged?

Seems bugged. Should be able to do the quest on every character.

Was this done in a multi-player game? Not that I'm doubting you, but have you checked your inventory to see if you already had one picked up?

This is being done in a single player. Of the two alts i have, neither has gotten the rune. Between the two alts I've killed the Draag boss about half a dozen times to no avail. The only consistent drop so far seem to be the tooth. I am also sure that its not in my inventory/stash, nor has the quest started.

Doesn't that stuff drop from the chest? Been awhile since I have done that quest line.

The tooth?
Are you maybe confusing Kalis Ka, the Bonehunter(area to the east of burrwitch with trolls and stuff) and Guardian of Dreeg(small, hidden area east of Devil's Crossing).
Kalis Ka drops a fang.

You ever have one of those days were you do something stupid... several times, then make a post about it displaying that level of foolishness to everyone? no? just me then.... damn

NP. It is an understandable mix up, as they are both "dog beast" to the east of first act.
And the area near Kalis Ka does have something to do with the Hidden Path, so there is that too.

notes don't drop again for the same character if already read, sole exception being quest activator "notes" (Will and Nane's Stash etc)

i never read the note on elite or normal/veteran only on ultimate. Do you not recieve the note each time in diff difficulties ? Thanks for your reply about the stones moveing anyway in the other thread btw.

nope, because in grim dawn lore notes don't get "duplicates", only specific quest notes(which aren't treated as lore notes but directly as a the "quest activator")
since in Hidden path it's the rune/stone that activates the quest, not the note, the note is considered a regular lore note, thus you don't get duplicates on the same char, - just like crafting recipes duplicates become invisible too

Gnuff is right in long run, but the easy way to know is ->

Did you get exp for reading it? If yes, its a lore note, if not then its a quest note.
