That's because it's an "or" quest. If it was not, and you were done with GE, it would have auto completed.
You should have two portraits of a bearded man in black garb on the left side of your game screen. One of them will give you quests to complete, view it and do what's needed.
Ah, but if you use Bazaars, the 1 hour production is Guild Power Points!
I finished GE3 by the time quest chain started. And in GE4 there is no troops to be had. I am stuck on the quest for troops till next GE starts
I parked my city in ME and I run the HQS (by CR) in the city, so with 50+ production buildings this quests is super easy.
I love playing the quest events, and was so happy when it was announced that developers would consider the needs of the player game progress plans (some folks don't want to advance to anew era before they are ready). But I can't play this quest event because quest #5 requires we donate 300 goods to a guild. I have already done this several times, happily, while playing recent events. But this time, it requires the goods be from our CURRENT or previous era. My current era is Bronze, which means I am unhappily, quite unhappily, left out of this quest. Guilds cannot accept bronze age goods. I am very sad that developers stopped caring about our strategy plans with when and how we advance to new eras. :-(
I don't have problems. You should probably visit my city and see how beautiful it is and growing in a way cities should grow, instead of piling junk up on top of other junk in a mishmash of ugly buildings which have no relation to each other. I like my city and all the future eras it will go through, and it is a rich city with 1 million supplies and half a million coins and several hundreds of each goods in BA, IA and even EMA and about a hundred of each goods in HMA and just started working on LMA. Also three great buildings leveled just over or under level 10-each. With blueprints unlocking higher levels, almost at level 20 unlocked on my Babel, for instance. I have full sets of BPs for 6 other GBs ready to plant once I finish leveling the others to 10 or more, and have the expansions placed where I want the GBs to be. I am constructing a city, not just advancing as quickly as possible for no reason other than to advance and then stop and wait for something new. So.... you play YOUR way, and I'll play mine. I have many wonderful items in stock which are waiting for the day I expand for them, and all thanks to these fun Quest Events, which now I cannot play if they are going to force me to advance before I am ready. If you are going to criticize my way, then let me criticize yours... you are moving too fast. You are not "forging" an empire, you are willy nilly advancing and doing nothing constructive at all with your buildings and visual pleasure of what you are creating. Mine is a virtual animated painting which will change over time. Yours is just a bunch of things placed wherever you can fit them. I like mine much better.
I suspect that it is harder to stay in the bronze age than others.
Yes, last event, it autocompleted for those who had done the needed number of quests. Fortunately for me, I had 13 left when I got to that, and was able to do it. But my guild leader had finished GE. The alternate quest is a scout. That would have been no big deal for me in Colonial age, but my guild leader is the number one player in Arvahall, and at those levels, it takes days for a scout. She may have to wait until next week, and may not be able to finish. I do not think that is fair.
When I made that post, I did not know that you cannot donate Bronze Age goods to guild treasury. Either the devs need to make a special case for Bronze Age, or you need to move up to Iron Age and build a beautiful Iron Age city. I think you will find it a lot easier to make a lovely Iron age city.
