Quests now suck even more!!

General Discussion Started Last reply 17 posts
Ok, what is up with this change to quest item drops?

Most quests are horrible as they are, now if you have 2 quests active and you try to kill a certain mob you can only get items for 1 quest, but not the other?

Example:
Quest 1: Coin of Magic
Quest 2: Quest for Fishing Shot

Target mob: Hatar Hanishee

You will neva see the Blood coins as long as you have the Fish quest active, assuming the Fish quest was activated After the Coin quest.

:mad:
No more silver coins off witch doctors... Prolly sucks. W/ the massive amount of mobs for fish quest.
I wonder if its a bug? The fishing shots quest seems to drastically slow down the other quest items dropping on a lot of other quests as posted in another thread :confused:

All these neat new quests for C4 but still only 15 quests can be run at one time and so many are continuing quests that I hate to delete :( The formal wear quest alone takes up 3 or 4 quest slots and you need to keep the fishing shots quest running :(

Cant we expand quest slots for fishing proofs or something like expanding warehouse and crafting space? :) That would work but make it 5 at a time at least please! lol :p
Get a few hundres sweet fluids, turn em in for shots, stop that quest until you run low on shots....simple?
Weird, I was killing Marsh spiders near Cruma for my Hatchling quest and one of my second class transfer quest and most of the time 1 spider gave me one quest item for both quest.

Yes I have gotten multiples on other quests too. I think this bug might have to do with the fishing shots Sweet Fluids only, thats the only one that I have noticed slowing other quest drops.
Nah, the quest for gems from the necromancer in Valley of Saints and the quest from the heirarch for blood in the Valley of Saints displays this quick, too. I have gotten gems, have gotten bloods, but never both at the same time.
did u check to make sure your inventory wasnt full?

yep, noticed that too. Add to that the fishing quest. I am in hell.
it seems like some quests WILL reward you twice, and some won't. class transfer quests will give you double rewards if necessary.

also, there seems to be some sort of heirarchy of quests, as in quest items for one quest will override the drop for quest items from the second quest. from what I've seen, the fish shot quest overrides all others EXCEPT class transfer quests. this is very, very bad, as fish shots drop off like over half the mobs in the game, therefore the interference is massive.

(you want to see this first hand, get the lvl 38 special bait quest, and fish shot quest, go hunt fetters. you'll get 1 special bait quest item overy 3rd fettered or so. cancel the fish shots quest, and you'll get 1 special bait quest item per fettered. grr.)
Interresting. Happened to me yesterday in VoS that I was getting ONLY those gemstones, and not a single Sweet fluid, hunting there for an hour or so.
Inventory was not full, both quests were active.
I see there's no comment on this by the NC staff.

Oh well.

GG I guess. :eek:
You really expect one?
They probably don't even know what's being talked about and have to check it for themselves first. :p

Anyway, this is why I made one of my alts my dedicated fisherman and leave the 'normal' quests for the main.
Works better that way, too, what with the inv filling up quite fast while fishing. ^^

yeah, I posted this as a possible bug back on the PTS, and got nothing. still not surewether this is an actual bug, really. this might be eworking as intended. I certainly HOPE not.

part of the problem, this might not be new to C4. after all, how many quests, outside of class change, actually had you doubling up quest items on mobs? I can think of one or two cases, and I'm not sure in either case I was getting double quest items even then.

again, outside of class change.
The only quests worth bothering with are the lvl 20, 40 and 76 class change quests. All lineage quests have the same boring theme, NPC "x" is in trouble and requires you to kill monster "y" and collect an insane amount of quest item "z"
Some variety please and i may consider questing, Lineage i feel fails in quests other MMO have it nailed perfectly, yet lineage has the excuse of, shut up we have awsome graphics, who needs game content? And for the most part im satisifed with this.

yeah, simple, but a waste or resources/time.
We've gotten the fish shot quest to work with the kill 50/50/50 monster quest (w/e it's called) at hot springs. So yer, it's bugged for coin of magic. Problem is ncsoft is running off an early early c4 build and hasn't even implemented most or even any of the patches the korean version currently has. If it isnt fixed in any patch listed on l2center you can pretty much count on it not getting fixed for a while. o.o;; Ncsoft doesn't usually fix bugs till they are fixed on korean, which takes ages.

Oh yeah, and supposedly the best way to report a bug is thru the support email system. I get better responses from that than I do from posting on the forums, especially since you didn't even post it in the right section.
