There's a quest in Misty Thicket that I believe is accessible from level 1. You speak to Grutink in Misty Thicket and than bring a box to someone in Rivervale. The only problem is that the reward for the quest is up to 9 plat. Is this working as intended? There were a ton of halflings repeating this quest over and over. I thought this server was going for a classic vibe so I don't understand why this quest exists.

I don't think I had 10 plat in the original EQ until level 20+ but on this server you could amass a fortune before you even level.............

theres a forum for this stuff bro, if the quest is so game breaking put it in the bugs forum so you dont add to the exploitation by making it public knowledge =P

i didnt get to do the quest but big fucking deal, a few hundred plat isnt game breaking and is a reward for those who bothered to do research on the best way to navigate the newb levels.

only a handful of people, made 200+
it was revealed, removed

so many people are going to make more then a few hundred plat a day in 6 months

Quest rewards should still be logged, everyone who used it should have a record showing exactly how many times and how much plat they gained. It could be queried out if it was really that big of a deal.

A PK troll who abused a plat farm mechanic to get all his spells during his low levels is no big deal! Not like leveling to 9 real fast and having all your spells helps you PK more people . No way bro! Stay classy

It's money for the economy. Now we can all bask in the glory of twink gear.

And by twink gear, I mean fine steel weapons and banded armor.

Same people calling this an exploit probably call zone plugging an exploit. Yeah, asking this goblin about his dildo delivery needs and running it over to his lover in Rivervale is obviously exploiting the game. I mean, doing quests in EverQuest?

If it's in the game, it's in the game. EA Sports.

Good thing I fixed it 10 hours before you decided to come make it public knowledge. :P

In the future, if you know about anything that is exploitable... make a petition/exploit thread.

Else, it looks like you waited hours for .. some reason.
