Your favorite questFollow

Joujouka's frequent threads about JBoots (like this one) made me think of some quests I always wanted to do... So here we go, what are your favorite quests? Which quests have you been looking forward to for a long time? Which were really memorable?

My favorites:

Protection of the Cabbage
The Magic Pool
Marr's Ring of Piety

Great thread. (Also, now since I have the jboots, I promise to shut up about it :-D)

I recently was doing the delivery quests in Shadow Haven, trying to build up faction, and I went from apprehensive to aimable in the part of the city that I already could buy from, but there is another section of the city, which has always been glowering at me dubiously and still is, and I don't know what quests to do to get them to sell to me. (It's the part of the city right nearest the big bridge that leads to the enterance to PC

Are there any decent quests out there a level 23-25 DE Necro can do that are worthwhile?

J/A

on edit: I just read your post on the other thread, those look like some decent quests to get started on. Maybe I will give the Cabbage one a shot as well. Just started exploting FG for the first time. ;-)

I'd have to say the FV ring and shawl quests. I've helped a dozen friends with various phases of each of those; plus, they make you work up trade skills, which comes in handy in GoD and OoW quests. And they give you items that won't be easily replaced outside of the upper PoP planes.

Other than that, the rogue epic 1.0 was fun. Breakdown in Commumication looked quite fun but by then I was too burnt out to take it on.

The Tunare Initiate is a great progressive quest that eventually leads to the Warden Symbol of Tunare. A fun quest with a great reward for the level range. I wish they made more quests like this. I also enjoyed the Rogue Epic and would have really loved the Burning Rapier quest if not for the endless camping of greens in Blackburrow.

I was in a pickup 10th ring war event recently. There weren't many people and we eventually lost but it was still fun.

Methinks he meant the mask is not NO TRADE...It is LORE...

I am working on the druid 1.0, which is very satisfying everytime you complete a stage. Just got the corrupted barracuda to spawn the other day. I hold the mid-quest reward which is half way decent weapon (even though my melee consists of whacking at snared and fleeing mobs).

I also have done the shawl quests and am up to #6. Just trying to work my Tailoring up a bit more before I attempt the final combine.

The best quest I have personally ever done:

Demi-lich skullcap

Something like 43 drops, many rare, to get to the end item. Necromancer specific, of course, but it's a clickie DOT lifetap for 122/tick over a minute. Still very useful at 70 to offset lich damage. Changed the game for me, really. For the 50s, it means you can tank xp mobs easily, and from that point on, when combined with the spell shadowbond (for 5 mana!), you can send out 125/tick regen to the tank or the caster that has just taken a dent practically for free.

with regards to the newly suggested quests:

i like to tdo the magic pool quest with my casters( except wizzies) before 10. Most int casters (except wizzies) get invis or gather shadows before 10. skill up that div and invis your way into droga. Dot he turn in quick. if you're fast enough, you get the needed book before the goblins kill you. being under 10, u respawn at bind point with needed book, and can turn it in and get the mask! =D My main (magician) has had it since lvl 8 i believe. Its a very nice mask.

Fine Antique Series

Not all of the item drops are level appropriate--not particularly easy to get the drops, and some cases, berloody near impossible; the items are fun simply b/c they take you all over Norrath and Luclin.

Regal Band of Bathezid

If you're of a sufficent level of course--but worth working towards. If you've a toon on Stromm, I've got several hundred mt. death salts a couple hundred gobby skins and would be glad to donate them for your toon's future.=)

Free the Nurgan Slaves

Good stuff if you're under the level req and can get a group together and get these. or know a friendly solo'r whose AA'ing there. =D

Not perfect, but fun quests. =)

Honourable Mention--Qeynos Badge of Nobility

I couldn't give that crap away when Sarth was AA'ing there with headshot, lol. Too bad, because some of the items from the turn-ins (the slaves had all been freed when I was there) are pretty nice.

I'm actually one of those sadistic bastards that really enjoyed the Ranger Epic quest. It helped that I multi-quested PoA drop though ;P

One of the fairly easy quests I really enjoyed as a young Ranger was the Foraging Machete quest (I like the straight collecting quests). I was in my mid 30's when I did it, and didn't know the Luclin zones that well. To get to the Scarlet Desert I ran through Grieg's, and couldn't figure out why everything there conned indifferent (what a useless zone! lol). Shortly after I got to the SD zone-in, I saw the message "you feel yourself starting to re-appear." I should have played the lottery that day...

Good Thread.

Soulfire was fun. On a whim, and a little bit of pushing, one of my friends goaded me into trying to take out Lucan far before I should have even tried it. Great battle. One flamin' sword later, a bottle of Drom's Champagne was enjoyed by me and all who helped me get it.

Ghoulbane was fun as well, the crazed goblin seemed to take FOREVER to drop the hilt though, and the respawn rate (to me) was insanely slow. I helped a friend get his about a month or so after he first started playing, not only to lend the hand, but also for the nostalgia.

And yes, as it has already appeared a few times in this thread, as of about a month ago, I am the proud bearer of the Nature Walker's Scimitar. The corruptors were fun, seeing Fay tear out of the water to come get me, the endless camp in Kedge, the days spent kiting the seafuries, the happiness of getting the brownie and the barracuda in the same night....good times....

All of them.

It's what makes this game awesome.

10th Ring war, which we did when it was a real challenge for us, was a truely amazing experience.

I enjoyed BiC, as I had a load of time available to play when I did it. Again, it was a challenge, especially the 10 round encounter in Riwwi Arena.

Planar Progression was great, that fantastic group feeling on cracking each new encounter.

And of course Coldain Shawls. Sadly when I completed the 8th shawl I ended up bagging it soon after. Much pain.

Oh, and SK epic 1.5. Because after SK epic 1.0 it was like a stroll in the park. A somewhat dark, scary park, with dodgy park patrons admittedly...

Ash

I have to agree the Test of Patience for the Shaman epic was great. Before the walkthrus, I wonder how many left with each npc.

Also spawning Black Dire (prior to revamp was awesome). We went in with a 66 SK, 2-65 Shaman and a 70 enchanter. The other shaman and I are making our way to where the SK and the chanter are and we are being bombarded with battle spam. Get to where they are and they had what looked like every mob from the entire castle. Wish I thought to take some screenshots.

Working on the Prayer shawl has been great fun and when I eventually finish it, it will TRULY be an accomplishment.

Added: Can't forget the Buried Tresure Quest in Plane of Mischief. No one goes there and it's great fun with those mutuant mushrooms and bixies. Be warned sometimes a chest will spawn and sometimes not. Out of 4 turn ins we've only gotten one chest. (I got what at the time was a nice little neck piece out of it.)
