I collected all the tongues for this quest and decided to finish it up. However I had grabbed the vaifan's pocket sampling device from Alexsa Whyte at an earlier time and later was cleaning out bag space and destroyed the sampling device thinking I could just go back and get another. Now when I go back to her she will not give another device and only repsonds with "There is nothing more I can tell you. Please take the item you have received and get some samples for me." Is it possible to get another sampling device if one is destroyed or am I just stuck?
Hail her and respond deletecontainerglobal and she should respond back to you and remove your global allowing you to regain the container.
