Quests in EQ
Do most people in EQ just focus on grinding and levelling? Do people still try to do NPC quests? I'm guilty of focusing mostly on the grind and ignoring most quests... feelsbadman.exe
Played EQ on and off for years but after going through the P99 Wiki, some of these quests look genuinely pretty engaging and interesting. Is it worth getting more into the questing side of things and focusing less on the grind/plat/loot aspect? Sorry if this is a dumb question | ||

I think it's fair to say that most grind. I used to be that way exclusively, but having a couple ALS characters on Blue changed my perspective a bit. There's a lot of quests in the game that just really aren't worth the time or effort, but there's some really valuable or cool stuff you can find if you're willing to look.

Some are interesting, like the visiting priestess. You find out about the blue flame forge inside the Neriak armor shop, otherwise its another thing in the dark elf city. Some of the lore is found in the quests of the old world but the rewards are sometimes not worth it when you can TunnelQuest for a few and get a better item.

It's up to you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.], grinding mobs is probably the fastest way to exp, quest will also requires some mob killing, it kind of all comes together
And you can loot the quest items without speaking to most npcs also, which is nice [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] There is plenty of time left for this server so if you aren't in a hurry do whatever you feel like doing, don't have to rush it =) | ||

Some quests though are very popular because they provide you with BiS-or-close items or needed faction or great loads of experience (Hi Edvard Tommels!). | |||

The way I look at it, the quests are there to break the monotony of the grind and also direct you towards zones you may otherwise have missed out on. Using a human warrior starting in Qeynos as an example, you could quest for bone chips 1-4, quest for gnoll fangs 5-11, quest for bandit sashes 12-16, and then slowly start to acquire pieces for your crafted armor in various zones from 17-30, where you could begin collecting gnoll scrolls from 30-39, and then start doing quests like the Electrum Bladed Wakizashi; the net result being great armor, great weapons and a ton of experience gleaned from quest exp in conjunction with grind exp. It's a way to frame your grind time, and also invest a bit in the lore of the game, super fun in my opinion.
That being said, I main a druid and other than the paw of opalla and the testament of vanear I don't have a whole lot of gear questing to do...why did the devs shit on druids when the Temple of Sol came out? Who knows haha | ||

The Qeynos Badge quests (http://wiki.project1999.com/Qeynos_Badge_Quests) are pretty awesome and not your typical 'kill x mobs' quest...

Most definitely grind, but I actually met a dwarf Paladin the other day that was trying to do every quest in the game... seems a bit masochistic, but at the same time admirable. In coming back to EQ I decided to try to do more quests and explore more zones and play classes that I haven’t played, and it’s been a lot of fun. Definitely lots of grinding involved too, but I enjoy trying random quests that are sort of on the way and/or grinding in zones that are new to me
