I'll always remember finally freeing the Crushbone male high elf slave, and he gives you a Dear John letter for a guard back in Felwithe, who I discovered was actually male. I wore what was probably their engagement ring for many levels.

Newbie Dark Elf rogue quests are also fun, at least two quests specifically for you to kill children (Gregor Nasin's daughter and also the halfling pregnant with a dark elf rogue GM baby(!))

Not as obscure but the Wakizashi of Frozen Skies quest was VERY satisfying to complete on a non-twink character of appropriate level. Having a Burning Rapier in one hand and an ice wakizashi in the other was neat.

Also Kerra Isle quests just because I like weird factions.

What's your favorite possibly-useless flavor quest?

Phenocryst's Focus

not widely known, easy to do, great item

Turning in Lucie Elron's dress (off Cuburt) to her father instead of the guy cleaning the sewer yields a "golden locket" with 5 charges of Courage, instead of the more commonly completed quest for the +3 int earring. Great for young toons who need that extra ac/hp buff when soloing.

Darkwater piranha quest for kerran fishing spear (3 charges eb) not bad either.

And not really obscure but another favorite is the squad ring, 1 charge instant click Healing. Gotta do the companion quest (many times perhaps) for faction with the Halfling clerics to be able to recharge it.

Pickled Frogloks. Got my RZ worshipping Barb Warrior non-kos and even mildly friendly with most of Oggok doing that quest about 50 or 60 times. Fun and convenient to run around in Ogguk and be able to shop and bank with the ogres there. Froglok meat is super easy to come by too, if you happen to be leveling in Guk. Too bad there isn't as easy of a way to raise the dumb Shaman of War faction. They were the only holdouts who still didn't like my character.

That's cool I didn't know you could get rewarded for sleuthing out her dad!

I also love that Kerran Fishing Spear quest as an ALS DEF ROG. That was my emergency don't drown item until I was able to get two moss masks from Guk (I can't stand camping one hours-long spawn so I'll probably never have an earring)

The Phenocryst's Crystal is an interesting one, I've hardly done any Velious OR caster quests. I did collect the Staff of the Wheel or whatever it's called, just for an Identify item. So that I can find out that most Lore items just have their name as their Lore haha.

I’ve always enjoyed the badge of qeynos quest line.

It seems way ahead of its time, and more like a wow quest. Gives a great item too.

Also- gnoll slayer quest (baby Martin)

Actually there is, incredibly easy. Turn in Zimbittle's pouch to Marda. I think it's part of the Marda's Secret Mission questline. And if you do the intestine necklace to the frog prisoner all the way to the note for Marda parts, more faction in one trip into Oggok.

Re: gnoll slayer... LOVE it on live, magic weapon, upgradeable in later era to gnoll bane weapon with 2 charges of summon shaman pet. But pre-Velious... it's not even a magic sword. meh

Anything in particular besides robes on melee classes?

This is niche but DEF cultural chain is for casters, so you can have like a wizard in full purple/red chain armor.

Also a SK with red-dyed plate is pretty cool.

my female ogre warrior is full bdsm mode - aow dildo sodomy helm, skull titties statue bp, dual whips (vyemm main dagarn off), w/e legs that tub of lard is rocking looks like chain

char name is ogre-esque spelling "Cooshinfer Dapooshin"

i think at one point i had a /tell macro for potential shaman duo "mates" that involved advertising whips, chains, and a good time guaranteed

Langseax of the Wolves and Brazen Brass Kilij. Not sure how obscure they are, but early in the server lifetime they're pretty cool quests. Langseax has quite a bit to do in it.

The Gnoll Slayer! This quest could have been so good if it wasn't broken!

I recall doing the Shakey the Scarecrow stuffing quest as a noob Halfer waaay back in the day on VZ (PvP server). Having to get down to Feerott and track down Rorror (whatever that named lizardman was called) with the threat of PvP from all the evil race players in those zones really made it memorable.

Some daughter from felwith runs off with dark elfs and her parents get divorced over it and the mom moved to Euridin, if you talk to the father, he asks for your help.

You go out to find the daughter and ask her to come home, but when you do shes in a jail cell in najina! (classic untrustworthy dark elves)

You rescue her, and return to her father, he gives you a letter to take to euridin, and when you do you unite the family and get a cool cloak.

Its really a nice one.

I personally have always enjoyed getting he item Prayer beads from the various quest you can do ( and repeat you will ) to get them. they are very handy if you can get them and can be recharged at the temple of life.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Prayer_Beads

There is a few quest that have a chance at giving this reward.

1. Returning broken prayer beads from the priest who drops the rat shaped ring in west karana.

2. Returning prayer beads from the paladins /cleric who run between qeynos hill zones line and first tower in west karana. Killing them will lower you faction just have a evil friend do for you.

3. Rare from putrid rib bone quest to temple of life in north qeynos.

4. might be a couple more but i can not remember since i did those in eqmac days.

Burning Rapier. Fantastic quest and appropriate reward while the content is current.

Definitely qeynos badge of honor. That part with the rat jars is such a janky nerve-wracking weird thing that is completely different than anything I can think of in any other quest, and having worn see-invis just owns. It's amazing how often in the game invis people run right up to you and get in your face thinking you can't see them. No more!

I tried to do that quest but couldn't ever get the priest of najena to spawn so eventually gave up. Such a waste of my gd time -_-

This for my Iksar Monk to make him a proud member of the Freeport Militia:

For those wondering: it has a red chain look.

My iksar being a little evil..."I'll give you absolutely nothing for the Baby Joseph Sayer." Okay Marton Sayer, I would have accepted a few silver maybe even copper.

Time to teach young Joseph to forage under rocks for bugs and swim a bit. He's a little behind on the swimming seeing how he lacks a majestic tail and seems to lack any special skills at level 1. I had planned to bring him to Cabilis and throw him in the sewer so he could earn an Iron Cudgel of the Petitioner but I don't think he can equip it.

If you have any kind of income starting a new bard in Qeynos, this quest is a waste of time. But if you are starting fresh or self-found, you can do it right when you hit level 5, get your level 6 song for free, and for the first time on your character, experience the speed of running with Selo's and a drum, and even be a little richer when you return because you remembered to tell Mistrana Two Notes you would deliver bard mail to Qeynos.
