Completing Quests back in the day with resources

[Supaskillz]

This is one thing that makes the game awesome. Some of the quests were basically riddles and all of them had to be discovered by talking to random npcs many of whom had nothing interesting to say.

That burning rapier story is amazing.

Dexe_Biggerstaff asks, "How many original (IE: From classic EverQuest) quests have yet to be solved or discovered? Qeynos seems like it still holds many secrets, and most notably, is there a use for the locked firepots and glowing black stone?"
[EQ]Merloc: There are definately some quests in original EverQuest that haven't been discovered, I can't comment on any specifically though... I will look into the Glowing Black Stone and see if it's incorrectly flagged as a quest item and correct the flag if it's incorrect.
[EQ]Merloc: Just a follow up, "A Glowing Black Stone" seems to be flagged correctly.


“Looks like the Glowing Black Stone is the item required to complete the quest described as "APPQuestJohnC"
The "APP" prefix means it was created by a design apprentice who was tinkering with the tools and learning the game. This isn't a quest that can actually be completed. Years later, when QUEST flags were applied to items APPQuestJohnC was picked up in the query and the GBS was flagged as a quest item. I don't know who JohnC is. The quest was created on 2/26/2000 so this predates me by over 2 years.'

Hope this helps solve the mystery!

Drachnor: Have you all ever thought about looking at all the quest chains that exist in the older game and the new game as it is. And seeing what quests were never completed by the players? Have a monthly spotlight where you give us a hint like So and so in that place over there has something strange to say about Keyword. Its been said in multiple places that there are many many quests that were never finished by the players. If that is so, it would be nice to see if those that were not broke due to zone changes could be slipped to us a bit so that some old Nostalgia could come about. Bring some needed interest in those old zones. ?

Jcaraker: Any quest of consequence that can reasonably can be completed has already been completed. Any quest in the DB that hasn't been completed is far more likely placeholder data, or apprentice test data, or incomplete than a fully realized quest.

AKA The current devs have absolutely no fucking clue what is going on with the really old content and don't care to fix it or play the game and give us hints.
