For my fellow evils, I am posting a quest list I made for my friends, mostly to answer that vexing question "What quest can I do to upgrade my <insert slot>?". It only covers the first 20 levels or so and is guaranteed to be incomplete and flat-out wrong in places. Even so, you may find it useful.
I've arranged the list by slot, then by skill range of the item. In general, you can divide skill by 5 to get the level range, although that won't work for weapons if you haven't been raising the associated skill. Still a [55-80 MA] earring will start to be usable at level 11, it's stats will stop increasing at level 16 and you'll be looking for a replacement by 18 (or sooner).
~ Some quests require the completion of an earlier quest. These are denoted by a "*" in the quest title.
~ Some quests require a language book (12s from local scribe) if not the same race as quest giver. These are denoted by a "#" in the quest title.
