Hasten Stole my Stuff

[Ravager]

That's a shame OP, I know that frustration. Keep your chin up though. You don't want to hear this, but it'd be faster for you to recamp the ring and try again than getting a GM to reimburse it for you. Reimbursements take a very long time, but if you recamp it and manage to get your turn-ins reimbursed sometime, you can always sell the MQ or MQ it to an alt, so you're not really out anything.

Did you happen to have fine steel/bronze rapier in inventory that got mixed up with the shadowed rapier?

[polishanarchy]

Man I thought they fixed that. Well that's bad...

[fastboy21]

the real risk with MQ is if the person selling the MQ accidentally finishes the quest with his hand in (due to mob having some quest bit in his inventory already).

typically, if this happens, it is by common practice on p99 that the seller reimburses the buyer.

MQing has always been very risky during live era. it is surprisingly stable here. i've never sold or bought one of these botched MQ attempts on p99 and i've probably done a couple hundred over the last few years...only heard other people's stories. Many of which were probably caused by their own human error (handing in wrong item, being hidden, etc.).

I turn in quest pieces all the time to npcs commonly used for MQing. Lots of fun to be had.

If someone gives Hasten 1gp, will that screw things up? Terrible that you might have been trolled in some way like that. Petition for sure.

If i understand correctly the 1 gp will just stay in his inventory

When someone sells the MQ they turn in the AC ring...then the person buying the MQ turns in the rest (rapier and gold). The person completing the quest (the buyer) gets the boots.

If someone wanted to be a dick they could turn in the rapier and gold (not 1 gp but the entire load) and then walk away. When the next guy comes along to sell an MQ he will turn in his ring and receive the jboots---rather than the person buying the MQ.

Does it surprise you that folks would do this on purpose? To be honest, it actually does surprise me. I've never seen it actually happen to anyone or experienced it myself in many many Jboots MQs. Most of the stories you hear about this are people being dumb and fugging the turn ins up somehow...and they blame some mystery person for ruining their MQ. I'm not saying its never happened...but its hella rare.

IMO however, IF someone does this shit they should be disciplined for it...its griefing imo. It would waste loads of time for GMs sorting it out and just looking into it.

Petition it bro. On the forums. You will get them in about 6 months if you do NOT bump your post.

Or just be an Enchanter, cast Minor Illusion with the rapier and gold in the trade window and ready to hit trade when an MQer arrives [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
