Re: New Aran quest problem
This isn't new. The problem is you have character cards, so you arn't at full HP from using the potion. The NPC checks for you having full HP, not that you've used the potion. You have to wait it out while you heal or get rid of the cards.
Re: New Aran quest problem
This is old, since character cards have been out. Just log off, remove your cards, complete the quest and then add your cards back later.
Re: New Aran quest problem
I see, the problem is that even though the apple is supposed to bring the HP bar to full, it does not.
