jboots and other misleading quests.

I was always remember the 3250gp being one of the challenges of this quest, as it was tough to catch up to the NPC with all that weight.

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.

Qft

I find it easy to see the relation between tracking down an accelerated run speed NPC (hasten) while be burdened by the 3250 gold (approx 90 weight) to then attain a clicky run speed increase item.

3250 gold was an intentional obstacle to overcome in order to complete this quest.

Same. I know for a fact it was gold only all the way up thru Velious.

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.

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

Obviously the same applies to Genni in Sol ro temple for fire opals [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] 550gp. i did try handing her 55p, no go. Hell, i even tried handing her 550gp, taking the fire opal, and then killing her to see if i got my 550gp back :3 i'm a dark elf! evil is what i do.

Unfortunately a lot of players will fall into traps like this, you can only hope that the losses will be minimal... losing 300p is nothing compared to losing an AC ring that can take hours and hours to camp.

Who the hell would use live Allakhazam as a definitive reference for classic EQ? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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

I did the quest once on live. I remember taking him gold. Reminded me of the scarab armor quests where you specifically had to bring gold, since it's what the quest giver asked for.
