Resolved [1.4] Company of Trouble... "not interested..."

[Hammerhi99]

Is it only me? Before 1.4 this quest was solved quite easy, but recently i had hard times with this quest. I was just able to catch a big Khuzait Army at Darnustica and whilst not at war with them me and my men spent some time with them at the keep. One of them had the mentioned quest and because their army was well mixed and included vassals from 5 different clans (really, VASSALS, NOT nobleman whom I know are in no need of mercs most of the time) I thought "Safe bet".

But nope.... "not interested, not interested" over and over. And that wasn´t the first time that quest gave me such a trouble since 1.4

Were you talking to them in a settlement by chance? They made it so the lords refuse to discuss the matter in the same settlement you took the quest so you couldn't get rid of the mercs right away

Yes, they where all hanging around at the citys keep. But was it allways like that?

No, it was super-easy to complete with an army resting in town. You'd usually pick up the quest and have a dozen of nobles around to persuade without risking your inventory items by travelling.
So they changed it in one of the latest patches. Now you cannot sell mercs to the same clan and to any nobles in the same settlement
