Quests (in general)

Hi Folks,

Thanks for your patience with all my questions. Ever noticed that the reward for good deeds is to get asked for more good deeds?

So, I've got a foggy memory that
(a) There's some advantage, beyond the immediate quest rewards (xp/tp/gp/items) to doing quests, e.g. doing each quest once, even the less attractive dailies
(b) There's some way to find out what quests you have done. (I know how to find _available_ quests I _haven't_ done; looking for the obverse.)

Is this true, or am I misremembering from when I played for a while 18 months ago?

And if it is true, how do I do (b)?

Bonus question:
(c) I know there are quests you can only get if eg you right click some item that you might get from killing some particular mob. Is there any way to find a list of all these quests, or of all those one could potentially do at one's current level?

Finally a more basic strategy question:
(d) I'm currently using the following playing strategy:
(i) do _all_ available quests, staying in an area till I've gotten all I can reach, and potentially checking back when my level improves
(ii) _always_ do 10 daily quests every day, if i play at all - any quest will do, just get those phirius token coins
(iii) don't do anything else for leveling purposes. Killing mobs for xp/tp is inefficient - kill em for drops, or to get past them safely, or don't bother
(iv) don't worry about leaving quests available for my second/third classes to level on - there are additional zones for that purpose
Is this sane/reasonable?

Thanks again

Ok first there are 2 very good addons that let you know if you have or have not done certian quests. First is Advanced Quest Book. Seeing as the original author ahs given up on it you will have to find it someplace other than Curse (or it Romunited will post here he knows the link). Not sure what the second one is called but it will ive you a full list of the quests that you ahve not done.

Now as far as your strategy question goes doing it that way is fine until you get a second class. Once I got a second class i only did the quests that I needed to do to get to the level needed for the next area. Saving the other quests for later to use with my secondary class. Doing it that way will help in keeping your 2 classes close together. Seeing as there is Xaveria you could use that to level your Second class up.
As far as a third or more classes go I do not recomend it. I find that having more than 2 classes is not very smart, and can only confuse players.

Yrcanos, Mentor on the EU forum, has compiled a list of all the hidden quests within a zone that don't unhide naturally by way of questing: https://forum.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=390427

It's the same approach I take.

With dailies though, I do each one once to clear it from the "Available Quests" list and then focus on the ones that will give me the best XP return.

I found a version of Advanced Quest Book on www.curse.com; it claims to be a work-in-progress Beta. Interestingly, I also turned out to have it installed in my client - leftover from my previous adventures in RoM, around the time when chapter 4 (3rd classes) came out.

I'm having no luck figuring out the name of the other add-on; curse shows me 27 add-ons when I search for "quest", and the only likely looking one is QuestState - entirely in German at present, according to the description. (My german is really rudimentary, and I've no idea if a german add-on would even work right when playing the game itself in english.) Or perhaps it's one of the many features in pbinfo... added since the version I've got leftover from my past rom-life.

The ones that Curse have are way outdated. You may find the ones you are needing int eh addons part of the forums.

Found the newest version of Advanced Quest Book here : http://rom.curseforge.com/addons/advance…5-v-1-56-2-544/

Works well so far. The original author ahs taken back Advanced Quest book so it is updated correctly.
