I'm aware of this happening now to at least three groups containing members of my guild. It seems that in the final battle at the bases of the structure, against the ancient Warforged, at his defeat a docent must drop. This docent is touched by each party member then the group can proceed upwards and hit the final level and complete the quest.
In the problem in question, the narration tells of the docent droping but it can't be found by the party. Backspace "u" doesn't work nor does "tab" ing around reveal the docent.
The tactic to defeat this warforged is that the party surrounds it and doesn't not allow him to move when the fight starts.
I think that what is happening, is that the group surrounds the WF and doesn't allow any movement, the docent does in fact drop, but there is a "chest" that spawns when he dies also. I beleive that the chest spawns exactly where the WF was standing at the start, and if he is not allowed to move the docent drops where he was standing, therefore the chest is over the docent and not accessable to the party (it's under the chest).
Possible solution is to set up to force the WF to move away from his starting point then closing around him so he can't retreat back to the starting point.
This is just a theory, at this point, I have no confirmation from Turbine yet. However as other groups have completed this quest, they maybe able to confirm the location of the docent drop.
Does the docent in fact drop where the WF dies?
Does the "chest" always spawn in the center of the room where the WF was standing before the fight starts?
