I want to delete my rotten collections !!!!

[Malandrin]

<p>I have so many collections (book pages specially) that will never complete.</p><p>I won't pay 50g for each of the 6 or 7 items I need  to complete an antonican lvl 1X collection that will reward 0 exp, 0 AA and an item 70 lvls below my toon, and I wont farm Feerrott or Everfrost forever till the millions of "no-trade pages" I need drop.</p><p> Would it be possible to delete collections or, at least, have a check mark in each one to be hidden?</p>

[Alienor]

would be nice if deletion of the collection quest would return the already added pages/items

[Archangel]

Allow me to say what we're all thinking.Tome quests are a stupid idea and are a copout for real content.

[denmom]

Tome collections...ugh.The ones from RoK are fine, at least they can be <i><b>completed</b></i>.The ones in Feerrott, Enchanted Lands, Everfrost, DoF, PoF, and some in Loping Plains...ugh.I've too many on my L80 that I'd love to delete.Friend of mine on her L80 Swash spent months killing greys for pages, still has yet to complete some tomes.Yah, I'd love to be able to delete the tome collections, as well as the ones discovered that I don't want to put anything into like some of the DoF ones.

[tikasa]

At least they no longer count towards your total quest limit... that was not nice.

[Zarador]

I wish they would simply make a way to seperate the Tome Collections from the Regular Collections by means of a tab or sort.

<p>You gotta be kiddin me - those tome quests are NOT that hard to complete.  In recent months most of the pages have been changed FROM NO-TRADE to tradeable.  You can complete a ton of these quests simply by camping the broker.  In many cases the quest line will still require you to go out and click one or too graphical items somewhere in the world.  BIG DEAL.  Those RoK tome quests require you to go to specific locations for each and every page and collect them yourself.  I am still trying to figure out why those are even called tome quests.  They could just as easily had you go to NPCs and talk to them.</p><p>Here is a wonderful opportunity for the DevTeam to create somthing new!  You gave us Burynai pets with RoK - LOVE mine BTW.  How about for the next expansion you give us a Bookworm?  Feed him and you get a random page.....</p>

  I always thought you should be able to remove a piece of partially completed collections.  Why do they have to be locked up for all eternity in your quest journal?

Some sell for over 1p.

[Odys]

Collections as they are are the most stupid thing in the game, they are just there to allowrich raider to level quickly buy making xp at the broker. I m not rich enough to complete the collection, i may have 2 completed over 80.At least i would love to be able to search in my collection or to click a missing item and look for it at the broker (instead of typing the name).Deleting would be more than welcome too. What i hate is that in Kumark collection are compulsory to unlock some quest, this is such a stupid idea like most of kunark (unique solo line to 80, no < 80 group content, easy uber item with solo quest killing any pre 70 group content , new factions for any zone etc ....)

[Minelarie]

<p>Most of the tome pages that you don't see on the broker are the click this item, no trade pages. Which means a bit of traveling around (easy enough at lvl 80 or whenever that particular zone is grey) </p><p>The mobs do still drop the pages when they are grey. Collections always give AP & regular exp no matter if they are grey or not. </p><p>You can click on the missing pieces in your journal while visiting the broker & it will search them out for you. </p><p>I would like to see a search feature on the collections tho as everytime to add a piece it goes back to the beginning, making you have to scroll thru everything to get back to the collection you were looking at.</p><p>It is a bit time consuming & in some cases really really expensive to complete collections but like it was said before they don't count on the number of quests you can have active in your journal so there really is no penalty to having them sitting there unfinished (other than the whole scolling issue)</p>

[Killerbee3000]

<p>I dont think we need to be able to delete them, why? because they dont count towards the 75 quests cap, so why not have the colleciton quests active even if the chance you will complete certain ones is very low?</p><p>what would be the better option would be if we could sort them (by level, exp pack, zone, name of collection quest), filter which ones we want to see, as well as search them.</p>

[LygerT]

no one likes to kill countless greys to complete a tome, that is stupidity and i agree with the OP. even if the pages may be tradeable now, people still gouge prices on them for 30g-50g-1p per page. if you grind the greys, you probably won't be too insterested in reading the [Removed for Content] book when you finally get it.

Hwne i say rich level 80 i mean their reroll i know personnaly several people who levelled their alt at the broker, personnally i do not undestand since playing a new class is something different. Well if someone in a raid is asked to level soe given class i may understand,.Thanks for the tip i will try examine + broker search i may have incomplete collectiuon for which i have the rare.

Same problem when i was in Elands or Zek. I may have finished 1-2 books and my reward was a basic tome for my house.

If you aren't interested in them, then just ignore them, or keep them and start selling them on the broker so the prices will drop if your major complaint is how expensive they are-more supply = less demand = lower prices.

[Cisken]

I actually found it easy to complete shattered land tomes just while questing in the regions, same for EoF shiny collections up and including LFay. Look up the remaining few pages from clickies on eq2map or wikia and you are set and maybe buy the last odd missing body drop page from the broker. Everfrost was a bit harder to do, but that was before the revamp. I guess the former "ultra rare" pages will now be available in greater quantities since people are now killing stuff like mad in there. The leaves of CL, Ant and Nek as well as the TS ants are a different matter though... rare stuff indeed.

[Xanrn]

Well recently I have been bored so I have been trying to complete every collection in my Journal.Most of the shattered lands Tomes are easy to finish.The trouble lies in The Desert of Flames Tomes and the Fallen Dynasty Tomes.Several of the Desert of Flames Tomes, especially the ones from Clefts and Living Tombs having pages that seem to be ridiculus rare body drops, if something drops you can usually find atleast 1 on the broker even if the price is off the charts (30 plat for a page of the Cleft Dweller), but weeks of looking every day and I still have missing pages and according to EQ2 wikia they aren't clickies.The Problem with Fallen Dynasty is the mobs are ridiculus tight with the body drops and there is only 5 "!" spawns in the entire zone of Forsaken City and this zone has like 10 Tomes.Why are mobs less likely to drop Tome pages then Advanced Craft Books or Looted Treasures. I mean you hand out blue shinys that give seriously cool Legendary Items (Reet Armour, Chokidai Collars and Goblins Standards), easier than alot of tome pages.
