Not sure about anyone else but I'm on stage 3 and used about 10 ext potions but not updating on the task force reward.. Anyone else having this problem??
So far, lots of people have reported the issue, but what they’ve all had in common is they’re using strong or potent exstimulo instead of regular exstimulo. The task does not call for strong or potent, specifically. I made the same mistake. It’s a good idea though to check on your task progression after one or two tries. If you don’t see progress at that point, you’ll know there’s something wrong and you can either change how you’re doing things or hit up the forum to prevent further waste. Sorry you burned through so many potions. That’s harsh. Good luck on the rest of it though!
@Turdmuckle use Exstimulo Potions only (that is their actual name we call them weak but they aren't labeled that way). Use them in a fortress (I haven't tried in a trace but I know they work in fortresses).
That's a good point, @Ginnungagap. I used mine in fortress challenges as well, so that might be the issue @Turdmuckle. The task clearly states exstimulo (not strong or potent exstimulo), but it doesn't state anything about having to use the potion in a fortress challenge. If that is indeed a requirement, it should be reported as a bug. I'm not sure if it actually counts as a bug. Really it's more like incomplete information, but it should be reported anyway because it isn't cool if that's truly the case. Either way, make sure you're using regular exstimulo (the lightest blue) and use it in a fortress challenge. That has worked for several other players, so hopefully it will work for you too.
2 extimulos in traces, counted as 2. It sounds like it might be a bug if people are using the right potion and aren't seeing the achievement affected. It couldn't hurt to report it

I used 2 exstimulo potions on traces and the rest in a fortress. It counted them in both cases.
