2 people, same quest, different results?Follow

I have a question for the masses...

A friend and I (Trinidad, 16 Druid & Argentfury, 17 warrior -- ME0 obtained a Gnoll Killing Quest...
We both obtained the quest at the same time...
We set off killing Dankfur Gnolls and I would get a quest part and Trini wouldn't...
Med up, we kill another group and Trini gets the drop but I don't.. Then we both get a drop....


Whats this??? Its just too wierd.

I've never seen that happen. I 2 box sometimes, and all the quests I did, if one char got a quest drop, the other did too. Not saying it can't happen, but I have never seen it.

That's one of the cool things about EQ2, if a quest bit drops, everyone in the group gets it. At least so I thought. Wonder if its a bug, or a rare condition, or if this is indeed the way its supposed to work?

Anyone else ever see this?

Drops that updates a quest will drop for everyone that has that quest and is on that stage. If not your experiencing a bug.
However, questtrigger drops, like hill giant idol, will drop one at a time.
Are you sure you both got the same excact quest? There are several quests you can get from NPCs that gives you diffrent instruction randomly. I think all theese quests are repeateble.
Like 'Threat reduction' in Zek, you can get orders to kill grunts, catapulters or raiders for example.

I might be wrong but Im pretty certain this is how it (is supposed) to work.
