Unsolved quests: a can of worms, but maybe not?

There were 50+ page threads on Everlore about dozens of broken quests back in the day. I remember spending hours just reading about all the speculation about how to complete the "blued two handed hammer" quest. Everyone thought they were missing something obvious. Turns out, the quest was simply broken. It was eventually fixed a few years later, but IMO, not the way the original developers had intended.

When this comes up I always mention the fact that the Glowing Black Stone is a quest item in a unsolved quest involving Varsoon and the various weird NPCs in qeynos hills.

This quest has worked from the beginning on P99, unless it was recently removed. It was actually a lot easier than live, as the Staff of Slime wasn't nearly as rare of a drop.

No shit you mongoloid if you actually read that page you will discover it isn't solved. The reward at the bottom is a blank lore no drop item you get for turning in the book of scale. Useless.

Then I guess it answered your question? His classic quest was always unfinished, you could either turn in the Unrest book for a Golden Torch, or the Book of Scale for the Paladin epic.

They also implemented this quest that involves the oracle: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/q...tml?quest=2652
