Quests for unusual itemsFollow

Luggald Flesh is one of several barely ever done Legacy of Ykesha era questlines.

Talk to a Marsinger in Greater Faydark.

Look at the quest listing for Plane of Sky . These are hardly done as they are hard and the rewards have charges.

The Wizzy aggro stick quest is one that I have always wanted to do (just need to play a wizard...). Temple of Solusek Ro is an old-school questing hub...

The coldain shawl questline was seldom done for a long time... but then they upgraded it. You could do the ring war or go for eyepatch from a frozen gnome .

Pick any starting city... say Halas and look at the quest list here on Zam. There's tons of quests... value for time spent will vary.

The epic 1.0 comes to mind.

The cabilis "epics" such as this are some of the best written quests in the game.


An appeal though... if you do some quests that no one has posted anything on in years... please put an update here on alla. Sometimes you feel like a quest is broken and one person posting within a few years of you trying can give you the optimism to keep at it. Good luck!

The Paladin epic 1.0 is relatively rare, since it some of the drops are either very rare or hard to get (the Book of Scale requires drops from dragons that drop cloaks of flame and crystalline water.....) and you even have to find a mob in the widely farmed Plane of Fear.

You could do the luclin "epic" earring quest.https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=1667

I imagine the weapon Greenmist is quite rare now https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=7029

You could do the symbol quests if you have a cleric or shaman character, I just made an inny worshipping dark elf cleric to have this snare clicky. I think only innoruuk and tunare's symbols have a third iteration.

Another fun item is the Bracer of Hammerfal, but you need to do a lot of factioning for it.

And if you're a very bored person like me you can make a level 1 wizard and get him/her this robe . All you need is to take your wizard to Kael to loot the robe, get the gems, and turn in about 20-40 giant helms to get the faction to do the quest.

Start here to get your very own Bixie slaying weapon!


Be sure to include this neato weapon aug to add bling to the thing!



Really fun quest, and few do it. When I got my Paladin his 2HS version (several years ago) and linked it to my RL brother (who's been playing since, like, beta) he said he'd never seen on in game before that.

I'm taking my SK to Warslik's Woods to kill Forsaken Iksars to get enough faction to turn in the bone chips, then my Pally will gate to Brell's to get the bazillion bone chips then off we go to get some more levels to be able to do this quest.!

It's the reason I still use the "Lightbringer" title on my paladin. Nowadays, it's a lot easier to just bypass 1.0 and get 1.5 and 2.0, so it's kinda more of an accomplishment to have completed the FD quest. Since none of them are weapons you're likely to use (other than the clickies on the latter two), it's really all more of a prestige thing anyway. Oh. Also, there's a quest you can do that allows you to change the appearance of any weapon to make it look like your epic (whichever ones you've completed). So another reason to do this is so that you can make whatever uber weapon you're using look like a flaming sword.

I'll also point out that it's not as bad to complete today as it used to be. Those mobs aren't farmed nearly as much as they used to be. Take a look at the Kunark dragons that can drop the books. Occasionally, they'll just be up with no one killing them. Occasionally...

PoF bit is a plus minus. On the plus side, odds are you wont have to break into Fear yourself. But if some idiot killed your turn in mob instead of leaving it alone, you're stuck. Most of the time, quest mobs should be there, but you never know. Some people don't bother to con things before killing them.

Yes, my Enchanter is doing this chain.



Some of these look quite interesting. Thanks!!

Question


When you guys die to you unequip your armor and such and only re-equip when you find your corpse again?

Ahh yeah.

And at 40 do your epic!

Try doing it without the books!

I can't even comprehend it. Imagine a non-teleporting class doing this quest without PoK access? Truth be told I can't imagine what it's like to be playing a non-wizard/druid (druids teleport like wizard, right? what else teleports?) having to actually move from place to place. I'm doing a shroud right now that has no teleporting and it's brutal. Positively brutal.

Some of the hugest zones in the game are from the classic-Kunark-Velious era when there was no handy transport (except firepots in some rather out of the way places). When there was 10-25 people in nearly every zone... this made the world feel very real. You didn't go to 3 cities in 5 minutes. You learned where every camp was in West Karana because it had taken you 25 minutes to get there and you didn't want to leave until you got those 3 levels and/or certain item. But it is brutal... this was original vision EQ. When the boats (repeatedly) broke they put translocator gnomes (wizards you hail for a port) in the impacted locations.

Luclin gave us the spires... ever wait for those? It was such an improvement that the nexus became the hub zone of the game. I actually don't mind how they implemented that... I would even shorten the wait time.

Planes of Power gave us Plane of Knowledge... which has been the game hub ever since. It shrank the world immensely, but much of that world was barely being used by then (game was very low-level zone heavy). Dev-time wise (in hindsight) I concede that EQ has too many starting cities to keep coding them with everything that is now found in PoK. Also, PoK functions as a crossroads which 16ish hubs would fail to do. However... I would still have preferred if PoK had wizard npc that ported you (like guild hall) that were factionless but in the world zones themselves you had to be liked by the npc to get a port right near a race's city. Not to say that a neutral port npc couldn't be in the zone too. Ironically, such a model would create logical space for far more zone-points into PoK vs. the static books that make it look like a graveyard.

*and then there is the more recent attempt to newbie hub Crescent Reach, which has been reasonably successful and would be moreso if they made the quest rewards better than defiant.

Reading your guys posts makes me envious of the experience of playing through all these formative things; it's kind of a bummer I just got to play. But actually I did play for maybe a month when it was first released; a high elf cleric named Broonsbane (thus the user name) who I got up to about 7th level; this was obviously before there were any expansions at all. So all I really know is the very beginning, and now: and I missed everything in between.

But since all I know is the wizard class, the spires and the PoK books and all of it is redundant and I've not used the spires at all, and rarely use the PoK books. So I have no idea how easy it is for other classes to make use of items and such for ease of travel. I do know that every time I entertain the notion of making a second class, the ability to teleport is always at the forefront of my thoughts; one of the biggest reasons I went with wizard was to be able to teleport and move around- it's just too big of a game environment for me to be able to risj "getting stuck" somewhere. But what would you guys say about travle time for non-teleporting classes? I can honestly say that from a teleporting wizard point of view there have been numerous times I thought during a quest "those poor non-teleporting pcs how horrific this quest must be for them"

I can honestly say that if they said "we're taking PoK out of the game" I'd feel really sorry for non-teleporting players. Even now as a wizard there have been occasional times when I had to run good distances, and on those rare occasions I was like "this really sucks, wizard guild needs to get work on an arch out here"

But aside from wizards, which classes teleport? How would you rank the classes ability to freely move around? I'm sure druids also teleport with the circle of stones I see all over the place. Everyone can at least origin- what movement do the classes have, special move-wise; gate/teleport/etc
