Hey, guys. I've got a quick question. How do i take quests?


For example NPC says : ''Hey Vendis, would you please [fetch] something for me?''

How do i accept it?

In Say - fetch what?

Use normal language with the keyword in your response and that generally works.

Thanks people.

or for the true classic experience, forget to remap auto attack and attack the lvl 50 quest-giving npc and get insta-gibbed.

To find out more ask something about the bracketed words. There is no formal "accept" for a quest. Many quest givers will accept the items they need and give you the reward without you ever so much as hailing them. It is worth going through the talk though because some quests require high enough faction to complete - without which you may lose your items.

hehe... that can vary.

you need to 'find' the right wording, but it will be in context.

There's kind of a 'generic' for many things "what about".

So try, /say what about fetch

or perhaps /say I will fetch

Sometimes it will want more /say I will fetch something for you

It won't be steady until skill 200. Bind a hotkey to your movement arrows in options pane, quickest way to raise skill

Better yet, press "alt-d" to turn the compass off since it was not in the classic UI. Use your sense heading skill repeatedly until it is reliable. After you spend some time in most zones, you won't need it anyway. Learning your way around can be half the fun of getting to a new place.

I don't know if I'll be met with hostility or if the community likes new EverQuest players but I just started here and I really wanted to get into EverQuest. I just cannot figure anything out. I made my character and I picked FreePort and it just kinda drops me off and I have no idea what to do. Quests? Kill mobs? What? I'm defiantly not stupid but if you guys tell me what to do I'll learn very quickly. I tried to find quests because that's the first thing that comes to mind but I can't find any. Any advice or help would be fantastic. Thanks in advance [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

forget anything WOW has taught you, look at this game as if you never have touched another MMO and you will be good. There are very little quests, and of which they are give out the "good" items and tend to take some time (like up to months) to complete. Unless you are a Mage, Necro, or higher level Bard, Wiz, Shaman, don't expect to solo very much. Its all about grinding mobs till your fingers are sore and bleeding, and always being in a group. I would suggest Crushbone or Befallen to start at lower levels, most dungeons have a xp bonus in which outside does not. Join a noob guild and they can help you out.
