WoW: how to fix unable to complete All Terrain Snail Quest?

If you're an avid World of Warcraft (WoW) player, you've likely encountered some frustrating quest bugs along the way. One such issue is the "All Terrain Snail" quest, which many players are currently unable to complete. It's a common problem, and if you're here, it's probably because you've been stuck on this quest for a while and are looking for ways to fix it.

Unfortunately, as of now, the "All Terrain Snail" quest seems to have a persistent issue that prevents many players from finishing it. But don't worry! It’s not entirely your fault — there’s an underlying bug that affects the completion of the quest. However, players have shared various methods they’ve tried in hopes of resolving the issue. Let’s break down some of these solutions so you can get back to your adventure without any more headaches.


1. Reload the Game

One of the simplest solutions you can try is reloading your game. If you haven't already tried this, it’s worth a shot. Reloading your interface can sometimes clear up minor issues or glitches, including quest bugs. Press /reload in the chat or use the menu options to reload your game and see if that resolves the issue.


2. Disable All Addons

Addons are great for enhancing your WoW experience, but they can sometimes cause conflicts with certain quests or game mechanics. To troubleshoot the problem, try disabling all your addons to see if that makes a difference. You can do this by:

  • Going to the Character Select screen
  • Clicking the Addons button in the lower-left corner
  • Disabling all the addons

Once you've done this, log into the game again and attempt the quest. If it works, you can narrow down which addon might be causing the issue by re-enabling them one by one.


3. Abandon and Pick Up the Quest Again

If you haven't done this already, abandoning and reaccepting the quest can sometimes fix bugs like this. Simply abandon the All Terrain Snail quest and then go back to the quest giver to pick it up again. This can reset the quest's state and might resolve whatever is preventing it from completing.


4. Ride Slick Out of the Zone and Ride Them Back In

Some players have found success by taking Slick, the snail mount you need to use for the quest, out of the zone and riding it back in. This can sometimes reset the quest’s conditions and might trigger the necessary actions to complete it. Try riding Slick out of the quest area and then ride him back in to see if the bug clears up.


5. Perfectly Align Slick on One of the Markers

The quest might be checking for precise positioning, so it’s important to align Slick with one of the markers correctly. Make sure you're placing Slick exactly where the quest marker indicates. Even a small misalignment could cause the quest not to register. Adjusting your position carefully might be the key to finally completing the task.


6. Do a Lap First (As the Quest States)

The quest instructions typically ask you to complete a lap before progressing, so be sure to follow them to the letter. Ride Slick around the designated area and make sure to complete the lap as described in the quest text. Sometimes skipping steps or not following the sequence exactly can prevent the quest from advancing.


7. Delete Slick from Your Bags & Get a New One

If your current snail mount, Slick, is bugged, try deleting it from your bags and obtaining a new one. You can acquire another snail mount from the quest giver or the item that spawns it. This fresh version of Slick might not carry over the same issue and could let you complete the quest as intended.


8. Reload While on Slick

Another potential fix involves reloading your interface while you're actually riding Slick. Some players have found that this step can reset the quest’s progression or fix issues with quest tracking while you're actively on the mount. Try reloading your interface while riding Slick to see if that helps.


9. Dying

This one sounds a bit extreme, but some players have found success by intentionally dying and respawning while on the quest. While it might seem like an odd step, in certain cases, dying can reset certain quest conditions or clear out bugs related to mounts or quest progress.


Conclusion

While it can be frustrating when you encounter bugs like the one preventing you from completing the All Terrain Snail quest, you’re not alone — many other players are in the same boat. However, the solutions above have helped some players work around the issue, so it’s worth trying each one until you find the fix that works for you.

It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on WoW forums and WoWhead for updates regarding this issue, as Blizzard may eventually patch the bug. Until then, follow these troubleshooting steps and hopefully, you'll be able to finish your snail-riding adventure without further trouble. Good luck! 

Few days ago, Blizzard notified players to be aware of the issue. It should therefore be fixed as soon as possible.
