You were always able to turn in PP instead of Gold. I used PP during 1999 to get my jboots.

that is the earliest post i can find of plat working.

This. It's just like the lodizal shell shield, people were just too paranoid to try and spread FUD.

There is other threads like this... the only thing funnier is people that TURN IN their +10 Wisdom Testament of Vanear [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] They don't even check what they are being given back. They just read straight from Alla lol.

The aegis of life quest is only supposed to be avail at max faction, but he offers it at like indiff, so i didnt know whether to turn in more gold or just go for it...So far i haven't had a quest giver just eat my items here though, so that's good D= But it did put me in a difficult situation D=

I hate you.

On a positive note, I got my brewing to 177 while camping him twice.

Yes. He always took platinum.

if you knew anything about classic, you would have brought some gold. This is not a server that has 2009 Jboots.

The change in being able to hand in the 325p i believe was about the same time they made coin weightless. It became pointless having discernable differences between 325p and 3250gp if it weighed the same and didn't have any bearing on you.

There are quotes from the March 1, 2001 Allakhazam webarchive where someone claims platinum works, aside from more modern statements of it always working. Coin did not become weightless until 2008. Quest NPCs asked for gold and accepted platinum. Hasten wasn't the only one, nor was he the first or last NPC to do this.

Aeolwind said

The quest will be changed to use platinum around the time that it did on live with the release of Kunark.

I've never come across anything saying this changed in Kunark (what would I know, I started with velious), but there is ample evidence that it has and did work, and it seems there is developer comment that agrees with that.

I'm not here to ask for anything other than some type of reasonable warning that the quest i remember and is well documented as i remember it, doesnt fit into the dev's idea of 'classic'.

you remember it wrong. he wanted gold through at least kunark, and possibly velious.

move along, spoonfed wowtard.

LOL thanks for not dissapointing me.

These are exactly the responses i expected.

I never once asked for redemption of any kind, just a pointer towards the MINOR variations between what i remember and what is.

Thank you for being exactly as i expected...

shhhh, i ALMOST did this. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I did do it =(

I did it by not paying attention to the quest text.

I'd like to add that this screw up was a lesson learned and when I did the jboots quest I searched this forum for the answer to gold vs plat .

i have a tip for you ... talk to the NPC and see what he wants, rather then trust allakhazam to know it all ...

none of the quests are misleading, it is the quest descriptions on allakhazam that are misleading ... but if you would just talk to the NPCs before handing stuff like that in, such things would never happen [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
