Questions about multiquesting

[loramin]

While this thread has done an excellent job of answering this particular question, I just wanted to point out for newer players that the wiki's Advanced Techniques Guide has explanations of many practices that are unique to classic EverQuest, including multi-questing, sneak banking, corpse-ing items, and more.

P.S. Also if you have any further details to add to existing techniques, or questions about other techniques, please PM them to me or just add them yourself (it's a wiki).

I've heard the ooc cries from people who tried to MQ Hasten and he was preloaded, I suppose the same could happen with thurg MQs.

I want to buy a leather bracer for my monk someday, if a seller turns in the armor piece and that NPC is preloaded with gems is the whole deal void? I would assume there's more risk for the seller than a buyer.

The way I see it, the buyer is taking just as much risk as the seller. The seller has an item that *could* *potentially* be turned into money in a MQ deal, whereas the buyer runs the risk of losing tons of actual plat and ending up empty-handed.

The aforementioned 50/50 split before and after the deal seems to make the most sense. That way, if a deal turns sour and something screws up, the seller still gets a hefty amount of money and the buyer doesn't lose as much money as he or she otherwise would.

MQing is so reliable that my one buddy was MQing a piece of armor for someone, the person who was receiving the armor misunderstood and thought they were to turn in the gems but he hadnt turned in the armor piece yet. He stopped himself from turning in the armor piece when they turned in the gems prematurely and waited a day, turned in more gems, and other things to the npc (couldnt really kill the NPC it was the SS armor turn in and theres like 20 mobs in proximity). After waiting like 48 hours, handing the turn in NPC various amounts of different items/gems/whatever he goes to turn in the armor piece first and still gets it instead of the person he was MQing for.

That being said not everything is MQable, like in sky (or so im told, ive nevr actually tested that).

So, you have a monopoly on the definition of "earning" items -- and you feel the need to act on that supposedly authoritative opinion by essentially trolling people out of hard-earned plat? You sound like a delightful person. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sounds like a 10k investment for plate bp gems just on the offchance you'll hose someone else out of a MQ :P

You may be a little bit immersed. Were you the same guy that was killing Hasten out of impotent MQ rage a few months back?

That makes sense, 50/50 seems pretty fair.
