Game Forum / Role Playing Games / EverQuest / January 2007Quest Levels? (EQ2)
Hi All, I have got a level 46 Assassin character and seem to be in the situation where my quest log is full of quests that I can't do. Even the greyed out ones seem to be impossible to achieve. It seems to me that the level marking for quests is out by a large factor? A good example is a recent level 43 quest to kill some goblin warriors in Lavastorm. You get there and find that, yes, they are level 43, but they are heroic! This makes the quest a non-viable one unless I get a group together. I don't mind hard quests, but they should either be marked properly at a level where there is balance or in the case of the above example it should be marked as heroic. Its a pain in the a having to look through a full quest log only to find that despite the alleged level requirements, none of them are achievable!

So, the problem isn't so much that the level designations are off, but that a player of that level just needs help completing it, is that it? Are you sure that wasn't the intent from the start?

I personally think that team quests should be marked as heroic and provide better quality loot than single player quests, but there should be a way to look through ones log to determine which is which.

Well, ya know, it's as much a class limitation as a poorly-designed quest limitation. A 43 mage could probably un-heroicize those goblins in short order, for instance... The problem is IMHO that every quest is some variation on "kill 200 mobs and loot 10 rare drops". Quests should be class specific. A quest given to a rogue should be "Sneak into the Orc Princess' boudoir and steal her panties. Return them to me for your ahhh reward". Not "Kill 100 Vicious Orc Elfslayers and return to me 10 Left Thumbs. And a moldy orc head." >> Its a pain in the a having to look through a full quest log only to find >>that despite the alleged level requirements, none of them are achievable! [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >100 Vicious Orc Elfslayers and return to me 10 Left Thumbs. And a moldy >orc head." When I created my first EQ character, a few months after EQ came out, I created a rogue, specifically with that sort of play in mind. Rather than fighting my way in, I would sneak past the guards, steal the crown jewels (or whatever) and sneak out again. Hah. Thats a very good idea! Class specific quests would be pretty cool.

We had gone over to the Sinking Sands by then, alot better xp and you would be more likely to find a group there too. I think Steamfont/Lesser Faydark may also be the equivalent. Thanks. I will take a closer look at the sinking sands. I have spent a little time there already doing some recce and filling in the map. So I guess the way forward is to go through my log and methodically ditch the quests that are either too high or don't give enough reward, then start getting quests in the sinking sands.

Forgot to add you still get xp from completing grey quets, just not achievement experience. |
