Jellybean Rewards

[Guy De Alsace]

<p>This is what soloers or small groupers can expect at the end of a decent sized questline in Butcherblock Mountains:</p><p><img src="http://gr3yh4wk.50megs.com/images/EQ2/jellybean.jpg" alt="" width="324" height="206" border="0" /></p><p>This ended in a level 31 quest. Tier 4. The above is a charm item that seriously belongs in tier 1 or 2. Dont forget the same slot can take a Hex Doll so who in the right mind would *ever* equip something this bad?</p><p>This is just one in a long list of "jellybean reward" quests where a hard quest or long questline ends in something either totally useless or totally in the wrong tier. Can we see a little more thought going into item rewards for quests to make them at least useful?</p>

It should be renamed to "The Serilian Coldsore". Who would want a coldsore anyway?  :p

<p>last time I checked it could not be transmuted either (that is - if Im thinking of the same item - from a Butcherblock quest line)</p><p><img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p>

Did those quests.   Laughed when I got that reward.Just goes to show you that the vast majority of SOE employees working on EQ2 dont really play the game like the players do.

Burpbelly's charm comes to mind as I read this thread.  Level 25 item from quest inside Fallen Gate where you need to make it a fair ways in to the cauldron, killing ^^^ heroics almost the entire way yet the reward is a neck item that gives something like 25hp and 25power, nothing more on it.
