Quest Trigger

There is some trigger beyond simply talking to Ignacio or looking at the poster. Not sure if perhaps a plot quest has to be completed, but without having completed any Ignacio only says he needs help at a later time and the messenger boy is nowhere to be found.

Walkthrough updated to suggest leaving area - messenger boy should catch up with you. I only found the Messenger Boy myself once, but then managed to break the quest by talking to Ignacio whilst he was still in the open air - I'd already finished the first task and told him so, and he told me to look in the chest behind him for further quests ... but the chest was in the tavern and next time I entered it the chest wasn't an active item. Not adding this info to walkthrough as I'm not sure exactly what I did. --Zoev 20:35, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
Oh, and looking at the poster isn't needed to kickstart this quest line, though it's needed to complete the first assignment (and can also be done before talking to Master Ignacio). --Zoev 20:35, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
I got it. After experimenting it's only available after the option of recruiting Zevran. I thought that only happened after completing a main plot quest but I've finished none of them yet so that can't be a requirement. I updated the article to reflect this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cynicalitalian (talkcontribs)
I suspect it may be one requirement - I've just bumped into Zevran and have coincidentally headed straight for Denerim, but have yet to be accosted by the kid with the message; so either it additionally requires a specific dialogue option with Zevran (or whoever) or is also reliant on the MQ (or another quest) passing a certain point. --vom 21:55, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
Hmm. Could it be that it doesn't happen until you've actually been given a quest that requires you to go to Denerim (The Urn of Sacred Ashes is what I'm thinking of)? I don't think I've ever gone before I needed to. --Zoev 22:57, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

<-----------------------------------------------------
Could be. I like Denerim so I tend to wander there just for the side quests, but I haven't finished the Urn quest yet; we'll see what happens then. That said, don't you need to visit Genitivi's house to find out where he's wandered off to? I don't do the quests in anything like a structured enough manner to remember offhand! --vom 23:06, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
