SoF mini-quests - Spolier

Drayas · 10-18-2007, 01:57 PM

I was hunting with a few guildies in the Shard of Fear last night, when I came across a couple of quest starters as mob drops. My group mates know that I am a quest freak and let me have them. I have to say that I found the rewards extremely disappointing. For one of them I had to travel back to Antonica to deliver a message to a barbarian in Windstalker village and for another I had to kill a big named monkey in SoF. Both quests were yellow to me (on was for sure lvl 72) and received the amazing sum of 3 gold as a reward! Is it just me or that is a bit strange? I was sort of expecting a nice item for my room, or something like that, but ever the most cash strapped of players will admit that 3-4 gold is nothing when you're lvl 70!The whole zone looks amazing and I enjoyed myself a lot (and died about 14 times), but I just wanted to say something about what looks like a bug.ThanksSleepy the Swashie

Uh, oh. Those quests were suppose to be much more rewarding then that!

But the good news is that, yes, it was a bug, and that it has been corrected. Seems some information did not make its way to the Live server! So, with the next hotfix (and testing permitted) you should find these quests much more rewarding.

Thank you for that catch, Sleepy!

When the real rewards are put in will those that already completed the quests automaticaly be given the proper reward?

Glad I didn't turn my quest in to the NPC in Windstalker Village yet then

Unfortunately not, but they are repeatable.

What about the main questline inside SoF? With the gnome? Most of the quests don't give any reward at all. If this is intentional then that's fine, but these quests arn't repeatable.

Actually, all but the first one given with Ernie's Journal are repeatable. And the coin amount on the second one was correct.

They're repeatable? oh good. I was worried there that I was wasting potential achievement XP for the next expansion.
