Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Hello there,
As we have had no reports of this issue with the Arc of Elan since the release of TU 1.4.0, we will now be locking this thread.
If you encounter any further trouble with the Arc of Elan then please feel welcome to create a new thread and we’ll gladly take a closer look. When creating a new thread, please include any additional images/videos of the issue you’re encountering in-game, as this will be helpful for further investigation.
Thanks!
@sinisterchill88 Same, this is just ridiculous because now I'm afraid to claim it if they fix it and it doesn't get awarded for those of us experiencing this glitch. I'm on PC.

Please ensure you have the latest update (1.2.2) installed and also try verifying your game files then try again.
If the issue persists can you confirm what happens when you try to collect the bow or provide a video if possible:
@a2020a123 Thanks for confirming this, the issue has already been reported and the development team are investigating.
@ubi-mark From what i heard from reddit , this bug appeared after big update 1.2.2.
This is a good clue where to investigate .
Hello @aydendane and @SinisterChill88,

Good day!
I encountered an unpleasant error in the game - unable to obtain the in-game item "Arc of Elan" as a reward for completing the storyline of the Essexe location.
Now I will describe the situation and apologize in advance if I slightly spoil a part of the plot for someone.
At the end of the campaign in the Essexe location, a letter from the character Bristan arrives in the Eivor's mailbox in the Ravensthorpe. This character thanks us for our help and gives us this bow "Arc of Elan", related to the "Hunter bow" type. Before reading the letter, this bow visually stands next to the Eivor's mailbox. After reading the letter, the game offers to "accept the gift". After we picking up item by pressing the needed button, the character have animation with his hand (similar to animation of picking up items from baskets and jugs in the open world) and a bow (early standing in front of the character) disappears. Further, a visual notification about the receipt of a new item (from the right edge, in the center) should occur in the game interface, but it doesn't happen. Also, the bow is missing from the inventory (also if you open the character's inventory through the blacksmith in the settlement).
I saved the game before reading the letter and tried different things: reload the game, meditation and sleep in bed, move the character to another location and back, move the character to another region and back, move further along the plot and try to pick up the item again. Unfortunately, none of this things helped me. The item still visually disappears in front of the character, but is not added to the inventory.
P.S. I want to note that this problem is not only on the PC, but also on the PS4. My girlfriend is playing this game on PS4 in parallel with me and also faced with the fact that the bow was not added to her inventory.
@imferael I can confirm that this issue has been reported previously and is currently being investigated.
I have forwarded your account details over to the development team to help with their investigation.
Please keep checking the known issues list and the news and announcements page for updates.
@imferael Apologies, I'm afraid that it is not possible to list all of the known issues, however it's possible the issue may be added in future, so we do recommend to keep an eye on it. Also the patch notes will be posted in the news and announcements section each time an update is released.
Please continue to post any issues that you do not find on the known issues list or mega thread list and we can check if it is has already been reported and if not we will report it to be investigated.
@ubi-keo i have the same issue and i have seen many people also reporting this problem on reddit.
so is the problem being viewed by devs? can we progress further in the game or should we wait with finishing this quest for next patch?
