Completing Quests back in the day with resources

[Yonkec]

Didn't a dev recently give a hint about some unsolved quest that has been in game since 1999? He even confirmed that it still works by doing the whole thing himself.

And that's where one would think that, after 15 years of people coming and going, and the fact that there was this huge population of devs out there with proprietary knowledge, you'd think one would have 'solved' one of those quests after leaving and becoming a normal player (or even on their secret EQ account that they didn't tell the other devs about)

I also wonder if there is some big database somewhere of "What quests still haven't been solved", or if this is all just anecdotal spaghetti knowledge.

The ice comet staff of wheel quest was pretty cool. When it got implemented, wizards were running all over the place trying to follow the hints.

Well, still unsolved quests on live 15 years later

Not true.

Those quests were just apprentice developer quests that didn't even work. The 10 year EQ video that said there were still unfinished quests was kind of misleading.

They actually confirmed there are no unfinished quests when some enthusiasts tried to go after one. They datamined the quests or items to see who actually created the quests and they were basically "practice" quests for the dev that didn't really work, so they made a thread about it, and the EQ team said non exist. This was prob a year ago when I checked out EQ Live again.

look up PoSky island progression quest - one would have to be in a state of insanity to figure that one out for the first time.

Favorite game.

I can't even believe folks figured stuff out without quest guides back then.

I sure as heck did not figure stuff out without guides back then.

I heard tell of the Pally sword from the Planes that happened entirely by accident. They were talking in local while prepping for a raid and the plane talked back.
