Change the quest gear reward choices

It would be nice if ROM could change the choices we're given to pick the blue quest gear rewards after completing quests. This was never a concern before because the blue quest items mostly stunk, but now some of the blue accessories are very useable. Specifically, I would like it if the mage earring and healing earring, for example, were separate from each other so we have an opportunity to get both instead of having to pick only one and never being able to get the other. Having multiple classes means needing multiple sets of gear and sometimes we're not able to get what we need with the way the current quest reward distribution is set up.

I going to go out on a limb and say they won't be making any changes to this anytime soon.

So I am going to try to suggest some things.

1. I don't know if you are in a guild or not (since you don't have a signature) or have some friends that you play with, but if you are/do, you can always ask around to see if they have the set that you want. So you can pick up the mage set during quests, and get the other set from your guildes. (yes this requires abl, but hey im trying to suggest solutions right now)

2. If you have multiple toons, well this is basically the 1st suggestion but you can do it yourself xD

3. Buy it off someone. When i saw the way the accessories were coming a long, I knew they would be pretty popular among the people who either don't mem farm, or run that much. So I started hoarding them. And well what do you know, I was able to sell a few of them. I remember at one point, the mage earring you got from the quest was the best mage earring you could have in terms of MA and crit. One thing I learned about this game... they are A LOT of hoarders. So just ask around :D

Hope this helped.

that is why you get to chose when you hand in the rewards for the quests, either healer or mage, either chain/plate/cloth/leather gear. I am just happy we actually get useful gear for 4th and up classes.

I don't think you understood correctly, he wants both the mage and healer accessories that a rewarded from the quests because it seems that he is trying to gear a healer and a mage on his ONE toon. But because the way the rewards are set up, you can not get both of them (or at least the whole set) with one toon.

BiS gear should not be limited to a choice of 1 per toon.

OP's complaint actually has some legitimacy.


that being said, IMO, you shouldn't even be getting BiS gear from regular quests anyways, but that's a different issue.

I think OP is proposing: "why not get multiple choices, or at least have more quests with the same rewards (get to choose 2+ times)?"

I actually have no problem with the 1 choice per character. On a grander scale, and I've mentioned this before, I believe all equipment items should be unbound, which would help in this case. Maybe the company has crunched numbers and believes the bound is more lucrative, but crunching numbers is only as good as the variables you put in. And there's a lot of things that people don't do because of the bound item principle, especially with lower gear which would be wanted, and modified, but not at the expense of ABLs. Plus, overall, it's a discouraging aspect to new players and it would be very hard to quantify the money not spent because of this.

if it was just random quest gear, better than vendor but less than instance (the stepping stone it should be imo, just to fill in gaps while gearing), I'd agree with you. it only becomes a problem when quest gear is BiS or very close to it.

My post was for all gear. In current environment, maybe that's a loser for the company considering there aren't that many new players, but not too long ago, I think it might have been a winner for them. :) Now, I'm not sure.

I apologize for the miscommunication. I meant I agree with the single choice thing if quest gear was not BiS.

that being said, I also share your views on bound gear.

I thought I was clear but I edited my post anyway :P I'm sure others have suggested this already and I believe it would be good because few of the quest items really are pretty decent now and many of us have several classes on one toon. Of course it's already too late. lol

If you play a class, pick the one for that class. If you are not able to get some with mems to get better earrings/rings etc or can't run instances to get them that would be an issue. If you are mainly F2P and want to get for all your classes the OD blue gear i can see why.



Personally my 5 main toons all have the accessories from mems, pom's, or hardmode, i need for the blues for their 3rd or 4th classes, just gotta be sure what you need for your classes.

Here's a thought...

Why not collect the Mage set from one zone, the Priest set from the next?

Because that would be way too logical.
