You mentioned the bug collector quest in Misty Thicket. Is it really broken or non-existant for the Terrorantula part? I see the wiki has been updated to say it isn't a thing. You've been questing so hard, I'd like to know if you gave it a whirl at all. No biggie if not, I killed Terrorantula early on in my EQ career and was always flustered that the quest didn't go anywhere.
