Fastest leveling 14-20: The Bread Quest!

[Cen]

Hello there, new folks. Are you having difficulty leveling? Want to catch up to people who have been around for years? I just might have the quest for you.

I find that ive been showing a lot of new (and even old) players this quest, and its been so frequent that I decided to just make a quick video tutorial out of the quest, doing one full run of it, and demonstrating the experience.

This classic bertox event quest gives from almost a full yellow bubble tapering down until level 30 where it basically stops. From 14-20, it cannot be beat.. unless you are a Druid or Wizard.. then it allows you to go from lowbie teens druid or wizard to a new level 29 hire at Dial a port in a few short hours.

Each gated half-runthrough lasts approximately 4-5 minutes. A full sowed round trip run about 9 or so, and a druid or wizard can do quarter runs in less than 2. Each turn in gives 1-3pp, costs 2 gold, and gives a lot of good human faction. This quest can be run by any class or race combo in the entire game, and requires no faction work.


Enjoy.

Got a feeling the Karana plague event will be gone when the corrupted Lesser Faydark gets going. So act fast!

[Kytross]

When is corrupted lesser fay planned to be implemented?

Thanks for the free plug. We will definitely make use of this.

[Cen]

My recording software didn't go ahead on my first run, where I talked about the timeline of this quest and why its there :P

Then my second take had the bit about dial a port ;D But its true!

[Tupakk]

Either way I plan to do this soonish. If you ever need anything let me know. Or if you find other quick an easy quests that give mass exp. I'd be willing to pay for it as well.

Wow! Looks like word has gotten around

Surprised it took this long to get so popular, when I was doing it a few months ago I never bumped into a single other person doing it. Tann posted a detailed guide a few months ago on this and other Qeynos quests. https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=259152

I don't think this would work with a Rallos Zek Ogre. Most of the good aligned merchants hate me. I'm playing an Ogre shaman on Agnarr.

[Sacer]

Works with my iksar necro, not sure if you can get more hated than that.


edit :
And not related but in the video guide you said the aviak are agressive toward iksars, but they are neutral to mine so it's safe to do. Evils only have to take care about the bridge guards and the bard/griffons roaming the zone.

My two characters are both 30 now. Man, thats a rough level but I'm playing super casual now ;p

[mickmoranis]

Im sorta confused, is this an original quest or was it added with the corrupted karanas or something? Meaning if I went back in time, could I use it to excel at leveling on the classic live server?

[Gumbo]

You have to love that people will still find a way to exploit a game after 18 years...

[mickmoranis]

better than exploiting your life tho u know?

but on another note come on, eq is ALL about the sploits! That gobbo earring, kiting, sneek pulling (rip), cani dancing, run sit med run sit med, stuff like that is what makes the game great! Figuring out how to use the physics of the virtual universe to create magic that normal people, walkn around bumping into eachother, would never expect!

All those exploits you mentioned don't give you XP toward levels for basically doing nothing. What the whole Bread Quest is mainly a cheat code and sure to be removed from the code.

But... It does give one to think about how long can one keep turning in the quest before you don't get anything?

I did go back and edit my reply...

I'm just stating the truth. Enough people have talked about this Bread Quest so we both know that it will be removed from the game or changed so it only goes to a certain level.

You never stop getting rewards from xp quests, its just the xp gained becomes a smaller and smaller fraction of what you need to finish each subsequent level (because each level requires a little more xp than the previous).

Did you read the thread?

It's a temporary quest, only available while the Karana's are plagued. I guess deathfist belts and goblin ears are an exploit too? When the Karana plague first started one of the GM's specifically said "there's quests worth doing" involving the event, so it's working as intended.

I will say people using two epic cleric's to rez them back and forth between NPC's seems very borderline exploit, but the people doing it without that are not close to exploiting.

Still good xp at 30 (though hell level). For the druid class it is apparently some of the best xp all the way to 34. Without self sow and port I probably would have stopped at 29 if not sooner.

This thread wouldn't even have half the views if it didn't use the bling words "fastest leveling". Which is funny as heck because this is in fact not the fastest 14-20 leveling.

I also believe new players should avoid this because it will set them up to thinking the game is easier than it really is. And when they get higher in level they'll be more prone to feeling like the game is too hard and possibly quitting.

Depends who is using it to level. If this is someone's 4th 5th alt and they want to bang out some levels with TLs and coths and gates round robin I'm sure it could go pretty fast.

you almost speak as if p99 was a new game that some new people discovered and joined every now and then. I mean, 99.99% of the population is well aware of the reality of the game and if someone is lvl 1-30 chances are that this is not at all their first character nor their highest level character either. I do agree that this is not the "fastest way to level 14-20" tho, some PL techniques are much faster than this hehe. However in solo and without twinking (incl. quest item "twinking" like buying four stacks of gnoll scalps or something) it might be.

Long story short, as a non-twink non-PL solo-self found way to level an alt it is a very very fast way to 12-22, temporary "exploit" under control and i don't think that will hurt either the game itself or anyone's experience so whatever, let's enjoy it while we can ;)

[Tankdan]

Also if ur a Druid/Wiz you can bind in Qeynos and go kill the gnolls outside splitpaw, loot the 4 Lore thingies they drop, gate and turn them in.. Insane exp like half a level each gate.

If they're not camped. I did this for a bit on my druid before level level 34 and with competition, overall drop rate, and down time the bread quest was faster. It took about 2 minutes a cycle as a Druid.

The ones inside before double doors are hardly ever camped, higher ZEM, more spawns, and able to be single pulled to safe room. I've got 3% turning 3 of those scrolls in on a lvl 55, pretty ridiculous. Think it's close to 8-9% a scroll up to 39, but it's been a while.

One thing that wasn't mentioned is hand them in individually. I think if you hand in 3 at once you get same xp as 1, but again it's been a while.

well the exp has been nurfed. It is at least quartered of what it was, if not lower.

I know folks don't like this, but when a small overall percentage of folks were doing it, why mess with it like this? The quest was not going to be permanent anyway. I just dont get why folks have to hate on how individuals choose to spend their time when it is different than the norm.

I think it was nerfed. i was doing it 2 months ago on my druid, and i was still getting 3% at lvl 27. and just now tested it on my 13 monk, and im getting 3%\

Yeah it got stealth nerfed Sunday evening, inevitable really but pretty funny watching 30 people just running back and forth across a zone line 😀. Sadly it was disrupting people camping guards when people were doing some poor pulling of the quest mobs. Then the inevitable retaliation and killing of the quest mobs. Could have been handled better by both sides but such is the way of things.

[Troxx]

Confirmed nerfed? Not that I care ... it was a cute/funny way to get xp on my Druid but it's boring as hell.

[Just facts]

It's still a good quest for iksar to get good faction with vendors.
Used it on my lev 25 iksar, exp was realy bad compared to killing blue mobs but after 4-5h i could buy stuff from the vendors, this was before the nerf.

[Tann]

The nerf was expected IMO, look at it from the plat gain point of view instead of the exp gains.

2gp given to the centaur results in 1-3pp reward from Inkeep James, not too shabby. Now y'all pulling the quest npc's to their respective bridges cutting the travel time out and you got a nifty way of printing plat...

[ziffiz]

I passed by there last night and there were 10-12 people there still running the quest. Maybe they didnt get the memo. For druids and wizards it may still be worthwhile.

[Lhancelot]

Glad I worked my wizard to 29 before they nerfed it. heh, that sucks.

Well yeah if you count all the people doing it, but individually it's not like you are getting rich. Leveled my druid from 14-20 and got maybe 200pp. I mean sure easy plat and would pay for spells but not like you're getting rich. As far as collective plat from everyone doing it, yeah it's generating a fair amount :)

[Canelek]

The quest is a part of the Karana Bertox plague event, and will be going away as soon as the Chardok 2.0, et al patch is released.

That said, it was absolutely justified in being nerfed. The game has bugs, or unintended features, if you will, like any other bit of software. Folks figured out how to take advantage of the mechanics and exploited the shit out of it. So, it got the nerf bat. I'm not condemning anyone for taking advantage of that (this is a fucking game after all), but there is certainly no cause to blame management for taking the exploit away.

There are workarounds, of course, but why take the development cycles when a quick value change can be done on the fly?

[loramin]

If it was a mistake the devs made sure, but in almost every other case if a bug was there in classic, the P99 team keeps it. That's how P99 works: it's about re-creating the past, not "fixing" it.

IMHO the "nerf" wasn't just because the quest was popular, it was because one of two things happened. Either:

when they first coded the quest they screwed up and made the quest give too much XP (more than live did), like they did with gnoll fangs or WL giants faction. This sort of thing is bound to happen given the fractured Wayback machine info they're using, and the supposed "nerf" wasn't a nerf at all, just them fixing a mistake to make things more classic
it had do with the player fights: the one time staff seems willing to make an exception to the "keep it classic" rule is when keeping it classic would make life difficult for the staff (eg. the un-classic "AoEs only hit 25 mobs at once" change)


So maybe they did it to fix a mistake, or maybe they did it to save staff sanity, but I highly doubt it was just because it was popular. There are far too many examples of popular "wrong but classic" things like item recharging in the game that would have been removed if the staff only cared about nerfing what's popular.

There are far too many examples of popular "wrong but classic" things like item recharging in the game that would have been removed if the staff only cared about nerfing what's popular.

The Both the pre-nerf XP and the nerf are classic. The research we did before it was implemented showed that it was meant to give the whopping XP and was nerfed in the July 24th patch. The sudden explosion of people doing it here served as a reminder that the nerf was overdue.

I don't recall seeing posts or threads where people were dragging Jarlen Meadowgreen to the zoneline and snaring him, however. Not that it wouldn't have been possible... but Verant/SOE likely would've done something about it even sooner.

From June to July of 2001 (pre-nerf) the quest should give ~half a yellow per turn in at level 12. Was it giving much more than this?

I found out the other day that its not really nerfed you just need to find the right in keeper to give your breads to. but you would need a porter to get you there, I don't have gate yet so it really not doable for me yet so i will do the nk one till 12th as i would need port to Gfey and port to NK there you go I spilled the beans
