Missing daily Excavation Tool Pouch
EDIT March 28: To those affected: please try to be logged in at server reset time (midnight UTC / 5PM PDT), and see whether that gives you the quest. It works for me.
Bug type: Event
Brief bug summary: Some accounts do not receive the daily Excavation Tool Pouch quest.
More details:
The
description of the Artifact Hunt event says
Every good explorer needs a tool bag! Each day when you log in, you can speak to NPC Manuel Johnson to receive an Excavation Tool Pouch. Open the pouch to receive 1,000 Artifact Points! Log in and collect your tool pouch every day for 5 days, and you’ll receive a Big Expedition Hat Coupon. The coupon is tradeable within your account, and when you use it you’ll receive a permanent Big Expedition Hat. Now you look like a true explorer!
On two of my accounts, this is working correctly. However, the third was only able to claim the tool pouch on the first day of the event (March 22nd). On the next two days, the quest was not available in the Star notifier, nor from the NPC itself in Henesys.
Other people have reported the same issue:

Steps to reproduce:

2. Log in later
3. Check star notifier and NPC Manuel Johnson for the daily quest.

The difference, as far as I can tell, is that on the days I received the pouch I was logged in at server reset time, and the other days I wasn't.

I got an update on this issue. It doesn't appear that too many players are experiencing it and we haven't been able to reproduce it on our end. If you're experiencing this issue, please send me a private message so we can forward known accounts affected by this bug.
Please include your Nexon login name and character name in the private message.
Thank you,

Today I was logged in at that time - and got the quest again.
Were you online at midnight UTC?
Same here
I think so, not 100% sure
I am affected by this bug too. I googled and I found this thread. I was already wondering what's going on.
This should be affected to the players who sleeps (or other stuff) when reset happens and did not leave their MapleStory on. I guess it should be caused by the reset because I did get the 1k artifact pouch before, which was before my country Summer time started. I was still up and reset happened. But now after the summer time went in I didn't stay up till reset happened. That's when I also didn't get the quest anymore to collect the points.
Do we still have to PM you with the Nexon Name and Character Name?
However, I didn't clear the quest by myself.
This is ONLY a guess, but the quest was available for me to clear for one of my accounts when I logged in using my Kaiser character to channel 3 (Luna world). It's important to note the quest was either available or not for clear randomally ONLY for that specific account.
However, this issue should be investigated carefully by the game team.
It's dissapointing there is a weekly maintenance today and there is no mention about being aware of this issue and this to be fixed:

Thank you for listening!!
I suspect that it's shown in the Completed tab because you did it the first day. It's the same for every quest that is repeatable.
However, a strange thing happened today.
Yesterday, to test this, I accepted the artifact hunt event, and the first tool pouch, on a few more accounts.
None of them were logged in at reset.
But some of them got the tool pouch again today.
So, I'm no longer sure what's going on. Seems that being logged in at reset is sufficient to get the quest, but it's not absolutely necessary.
