Brian says

Tenaka30 says
37 – Currencies From Afar
Bag of coins dropped for me in Flayers outpost, a few feet south of the entrance to dungeon “Bloodsoaked Crag”.
Pe3ewe3e says
Fury Against Fate is bugged. Nothing works to fix this.
Paolinus says
Hi, what happens if you reach 38/38 quests on the Dry Steppes? Will the 39th quest still be doable “just for fun”? Will the counter say 39/38 after this?
Paolinius says
There are reports that “Sealed Penitent’s Cache” is the 39th quest that isn’t counted for the total. That’s why the counter says 38 sidequests but there are 39 available. If you reach 38/38 you’re missing that sidequest. It is a known bug.
