This is handled completely differently right now, and the new build is just taking effect. If this happens again, I need to know if it is on all flowers or just specific ones. I can't see shinies on my client, for some reason, so it is hard to pinpoint the cause.

It seems to be hit or miss. The sparkles would go away on about 1 out of 3 tries.
There is also the issue of plant's that the client does not know about yet not getting sparkles
when you get into range of them.

I still have some sparkle detective work to do. I'm moving on to another quest that has an interactive that should not display sparkles (Tablet of Hirak Sun) and another interactive that does (Dead Hobgoblin). I will look in the logs to see specifically how that is being handled.

It is the quest "Thief of the Night".

Also since it is kinda related if i abandon the quest "They hate the smell" the sparkles still stay above the plant and Veteran Sixfish icon above his head does not change to show that i have a quest available again.

[zippyzee]

Good to know. I will have to consider some alternatives on handling this as I go along.

[zippyzee]

They should go away now when abandoning a quest. I'm forcing it. Normally they go away when the objective has been completed that needs them. Still figuring out the sparkle-dealy, but the interact icons should behave properly.
