Stein of Moggok quest without ports makes for a great walking tour!
Erudin -> Erud's Crossing -> South Qeynos -> North Qeynos -> Qeynos Hills -> Surefall Glade -> Qeynos Hills -> West Karana -> North Karana -> East Karana -> Highpass Hold -> Kithicor Forest -> West Commonlands -> East Commonlands -> West Freeport -> East Freeport -> Ocean of Tears -> Butcherblock Mountains -> Greater Faydark -> Lesser Faydark -> Steamfont Mountains -> Ak'Anon -> Steamfont Mountains -> Lesser Faydark -> Greater Faydark -> Butcherblock Mountains -> Ocean of Tears -> East Freeport -> West Freeport -> East Commonlands -> West Commonlands -> Kithicor Forest -> Rivervale -> Misty Thicket -> Runnyeye -> Gorge of King Xorbb -> East Karana -> North Karana -> West Karana -> North Karana -> East Karana -> Highpass Hold -> Kithicor Forest -> West Commonlands -> East Commonlands -> West Freeport -> East Freeport -> North Ro -> Oasis of Marr -> South Ro -> Innothule Swamp -> The Feerrott -> Oggok Whew. I've done that quest a dozen times or so but never realized how vital the ports (or at least binding/gating) really was... | ||

Coin of Tash enchanter spell quest is probably up there with Stein of Moggok. You visit ten old world cities and then have to go back and forth across Norrath for the final steps.
The quest takes about 2 hours with druid ports. On foot it's a lot longer.

So here is my 'from Qeynos' story. We were like level 10 and decided to leave Qeynos / Blackburrow and find somewhere else. Keep in mind this was like day 4 or 5 of live or whatever, wasn't a lot of resources.
So we unfold our CLOTH MAP that came with the box, and we see a village in one of the karanas. No maps, no locs, just running around to find these 'hut landmarks' that were on the cloth map, surely they were of significance. So we're just running around this huge zone, no idea where to go, taking forever, fearing for our life from all the red cons around us and there.... we find it! Huts in the distance atop large tree trunks! Just like the map indicated! Surely this was an important city where we could bank, bind, etc. Nope, it was aviak village. All these dubious birds running around, we're like, WTF? Wound up dying eventually, at which point we did the impossible Human run to Freeport. Keep in mind, this was back when a 15" monitor (not widescreen) was a luxury, we may have been playing on a 13" monitor. And this was when humans were blind as hell without a light source and we didn't know what the hell the gamma setting was. I remember we'd run in the dark doing F8 and the second we picked up a target and it conned red we panicked. I think we untargeted it, and then clicked at certain spots on the screen with the mouse to ensure the beast wasn't right before us, and maybe take a route around it. Was fun as hell! I miss those days before meta play too. I thought I was a boss when I saved up my cash to get a Shiny Brass Halberd on my human warrior (16/48 2hs... MAGIC so i can kill wisps and ghouls). Eventually found out about the Langseax of the Wolves quest (19/44 2hs, +5 str / +5 dex I think) and did the run back to Halas. Probably gave frostbite like 10 shirts before leading me to Paglan or whatever his name was, was a tough fight for me... but ooooooh man, I thought I was real hard wielding that sword.

If anyone cares, I finally got around to timing the trip from Kith to EK. I started at the EK bridge, ran to the RV zone line in Kith via High Pass, then back to the same spot on the EK bridge via the Gorge. I had high level SoW for the entire duration, didn't stop for anything other than a 1-2 second stop at the RV zone to note the time, and didn't get lost or suffer similar delays.
The trip via High Pass took 8 mins, 21 seconds. Via the Gorge was 6 mins, 51 secs. So even with SoW, it's quicker to avoid High Pass and the dreaded ramp. | ||
