Like everything, unfortunately there are good and bad uses of it.
Unfortunately it's tough to get a group together to help you camp a spawn for 20 hours [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
True - one of the good reasons for having NPCs remember what you turned in is currently if the script doesn't poop the items back out explicitly just because you didn't turn in the right items / quantity (eg Canloe for CB Belts), the item is eaten. With MQing turned on your item is in limbo for as long as is Classic, so if you turned in a belt and got nothing, turning in a second belt would complete the script.
Now, what is Classic? One description I found on the old rpgexpert site is as follows:
Multi-questing is when one person hands in some items for the quest, and the next person hands in the rest of the items and gets the reward. Not all quests can be done this way!
A hypothetical multi-quest situation:
Let’s say your best friend Xazrn has a NO DROP dagger for a quest. You have a NO DROP napkin (or something, bare with me). For the quest to be completed, both have to be handed in at the same time, but neither of you have both items, and you can’t trade them with each other because they’re NO DROP. The solution is multi-quest! Since Sladithar is such a nice guy he wants you to have the quest reward. So first Sladithar hands his dagger to the Quest NPC but he DOESN’T click ‘trade’ yet. You hand your napkin to the Quest NPC and also DO NOT click ‘trade’. So both of you have a trade window up with the Quest NPC. Sladithar asks you if you’re ready. You say yes. He clicks ‘trade’. You wait about 2 to 4 seconds, and you click ‘trade’. And that’s it! You’re awarded the quest reward!
This seems to infer that there's a very short window, yet I seem to remember on either the Totemic or Crafted armor quests I messed up a turnin and had to run off and do something (different Dufrenite flavour?), and returned sweating bullets with the right item and got my reward... this seems to be confirmed by
this post. Thoughts?
