Quest Issue: quest experience very broken

[soronil]

Have practiced quests a ton in south qeynos. on blue and green beta over the last few weeks, with hundreds of other people

Quests are not giving Exp. Kwint's Quest, Behroe and Aenia, etc. It prints EXP message but gives not EXP. I got exp a few times out of >20 turn ins.

Many other people reporting same issue

on several of these quests I got good exp a few times, then it suddenly changed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Got .5 of a level at level 3 from 16 bone chip turn ins in Kaladim (64 chips).

Should have been ~2 levels. This was the case on both Blue and Green beta.

Seems as if the max quest xp cap may have been slashed. IIRC it was ~13%.. now it's closer to ~3%.

Can't help but think the quest nerf was intentionally done.

I turned in 9 full stacks and got barely over halfway through level 4. I thought this was just what experience rates were like at launch, and I got INCREDIBLY disheartened by it.

I understand the devs were afraid that the higher spawn rates were going to mess things up but.. like... real talk? I had to camp a single skeleton spawn point for about 4-5 hours to get that many bone chips. There was nothing to go around in North Ro, even with whatever spawn rate increase there was.

I don't want to be all salty and grumpy about it on the forums and all, but.. I spent a huge chunk of my day working on that quest. And I just want my levels...

Has anyone checked crushbone belts yet?

I tried the black wolf skin turnin in wizard guild in Felwithe, as well as warrior guild in Kelethin quest with pelts/chips/eyes/fur and each was about 1% exp at level 4 per turn in. Pretty sad.

Confirm that this is completely broken. This is 100% not classic.

[soronil]

speculation: devs freaked when someone dinged 2 within 30 seconds (halfling@reebo) and overreacted, shut it all down.

pretty lame if so. going from everQUEST emulator to everCampOneRatSpawn emulator

Here is a germane comment from another thread in the green server discussion section.

Well, this was simple to look up.

Comment made by DE, July 2000 - "This quest got my DE enchanter from level 4 to 8 with 3 bags of bone chips."
Either a change is made to a server to make it more classic, or it's made to take it somewhere else.

How disappointing.
