Waiting 1 year for carpet?

[Solo Cat Collector]

Does the vendor actually make the carpet for you if you return in a year to menphis?

[[SL] Blue Angel]

Not sure but you're fine getting the display carpet for Cleo (think it was 300 denari)

You do get a carpet delivered to your villa once you are back in Rome.

but the quest is failed the second you attack alexandria to end the chapter....

You either buy it or steal it

I've literally waited 1 year in-game and the vendor doesn't give you anything. Doesn't even ask for payment. It's like nothing ever happened. Very frustrated with this waste of time...

You’re meant to steal the Pharaoh’s or buy the other one.

I thought it pretty obvious that in a year the queen wouldn't be living in a tent anymore so you should go with one of the other options. Especially since I don't remember the vendor taking your order for a year from now.

But I'm impressed someone managed to advance the game a year in africa just to see if they did.

There's actually two you can buy. One down the hill from Cleo for the exceptionally lazy.

Why even give the option then? The advancement of time is an actual mechanic in the game, so either the quest is bugged or incomplete, or the devs are trolling you, since actually idling around for a whole in-game year is ridiculous given how slow and tedious it is. The merchant even says you'll pay for the carpet once it's ready, but that never happens. I wouldn't even mind the harmless trolling like the Afterlife sidequest, but here you don't even get any indication of what to do next.

If it's a joke, then it's not that funny given how you have to waste hours idling on the map with the only action being watching loading screens to refill your water, constantly sending your legions to hunt for food, and occasionally sending your companions to the hospital due to some annoying random event where they get injured. If it's a bug, then please fix your ♥♥♥♥.

I'm not even that mad, it's a really great game, but this particular quest annoyed me.

Same boat for me. I am halfway through my year of waiting for the carpet. The boredom has had me only do a few months at a time and stop playing the game otherwise.

I found this and I am like great, game is wasting my time with an option that should not be in the game if it doesn't work. I couldn't steal and I wanted the best carpet I could get.

I decided to wait the year and am punished for it. I guess I will buy the cheap one near Cleo as the other Merchant wont even talk to me now.

I'd have to go back and re-read any text associated with the 1 year option, but I thought the game made it pretty clear, that it wasn't a feasible path.

You should go back and have a look. They give three options. One of them is to wait one year for a well done carpet. The response you give is I have time to wait.

I will see if I can post some screenshots for you.

How is it not a path if it is an option? I would have rather had the merchant take my money up front and then run with the cash. At least that would make sense instead of waiting for delivery which never happens.

With a gamr that has the load screen saying take your time! War takes time, there is no time limit. Talk to people explore and so on......that along with the perfectly valid option of waiting for a carpet to be done in a year to me says it is a viable option.

They do not simply sell the carpets they have, but make them to order

Two options, wait a year or don't. Nothing to indicate this is a bad idea or that it won't work

What I didn't notice before is that when you select this option it fails the quest to search for a carpet in memphis. It is very odd that the game is allowing you to order a carpet after you have found someone to make it for you only to fail you instantly after you order the carpet.

[Tirshek]

Very valid option with no dialogue saying that you shouldn't do this. Assumptions are being made that this is not a valid option. I personally couldn't steal the carpet so I went to make the best carpet money can buy..... yet that isn't actually in the game.
