What is your favorite quest and why?

[Lhord99]

JUST Finished Greenmist on my SK (with some amazing help from some amazing, generous friends coughCAREDILcough). I think it is the essence of classic EQ, in many ways:

1. The 2nd part of the quest, the froglok raiders portion, is JUST shy of being medieval catholic repentance torture.
1b. The quest is designed to grow with you as you level, which is cool.

2. The requirement for Drusella Sathir to die makes for a sweet ass roleplaying adventure.
2b. Plus, you get to meet the people who have DS on lock. Fascinating bunch of people.

3. IF, for god's sake, you mess up, you have to do the repentance quest and proc a ridiculous weapon like 60x to even just 'start over'. Like, to the basic Khukri. Even if you botch something that you've already spent a month working on. Nope, eff your stupid lizard guts for not following directions, you silly little bishboi, now proc this weapon UNTIL YOUVE SATISFIED YOUR MASTERS.
3a. EQ is not for the faint of heart. (See: 2nd khukri quest above).

4. Visceral dagger sub-quest makes for cool FQ on your Iksar Necro alt while you wait to MQ it to yourself (or, in my case, to a friend). Yah... I had to phone a friend.

5. The iksar storyline is just, in my opinion, my favorite EQ sub-narrative. The drama with the lizard people, the dragon people. It's just a good quest if you're into that and not just pixels.

6. The quest takes you into zones not-usually explored by most P99 players (Swamp of No Hope, Dalnir, Kaesora, Droga - well, Droga's different, I guess). Verant did a lot of work on Kunark for people to just, like, rot in a handful of zones.

7. ALL THAT WORK and it's still an 18/22 weapon, which is an awesome ratio (don't get me wrong) but is instantly beaten by just the 24/24 snowcone that goes for like 6dkp in many guilds that hit ToV.
7(b): All that work AND THERES NO PARTICLE EFFECTTTTTTT (yay minimalism).

8. It's essentially an epic quest for a race specific, class specific weapon, which makes it unique, so there's not a bunch of 'you' running around Norrath at the moment.
8a. Screw your Tunarian quests, ya dingus goodie-two-shoeses.

9. I find it to be a better-than-the-standard-epic-weapon alternative for a unique race/class combo. Kinda already said that, but I like rubbing that in peoples' faces because I'm probably never going to be there when Soul Leech, Dark Sword of Blood drops, and I am constantly watching Shamen get their Tears, ohhh the Tears, yayyy Tears, TEARS FOR ALLLL! Nobody rejoices when an SK gets their Soul Leech drop, even though it's quite possibly the raddest looking epic.

10. A 1hs weapon with +5AC, +25 MR, + an amazing STR/AC AND Lifetap DoT proc that augments the already broken Ikky regen = a really, really choice decision on Verant's part.
