I mean, I would understand if at some point one of the quest givers say "You need XX faction to do this" Or "Thou needs to be an ally with us" or "You need to warm up to us"...or like Nilbog said when you hand in the note he says " I shall return this but you are not yet ready"
I mean even Diablo 2, which I would say has the most hardcore base of people who hate change, made some QOL changes like gold pickup, fixing 20 year old bugs etc. They even went as far as changing the way Dclone spawns. Surely EQ can do the same thing. You are talking about a time when there where what...3-4 mmo's out there? Not even? I would assume that if you spoke to devs who worked on EQ back then, they would also say "yeah that was just a bug we never really got around to fixing" Pet windows are a thing when they should not be...so there is that too. | ||

Unfortunately this is a hard quest. Infinitely easier than in 1999 due to all the info on the wiki.
I’ve gotten boned big times on quests, it’s rough. I’ve turned in like 12 shining metallic robes and never got a robe of the underfoot. I think I’m missing something but my lumps of ore seem to indicate the quest is working as intended. But I dunno. Sorry this happened to you my ally against the programmers. | ||

I'm surprised no one else has already mentioned that the usual test to see if your faction is high enough for a stage of a quest is to converse with the npc about that stage of the quest. Too many players just read the wiki and hand their junk to the npc. But EQ was built as a "role-playing" game and that meant you were expected to converse with quest givers. And more often than not, the npc will say something along the lines of "I don't quite trust you enough yet." when your faction is too low.
Yes, Nibbles, EQ is as good (better, actually) than Diablo 2. But this is not EQ operated by the official game company that supports it so as to maintain their reputation to sell future games. This is an emulator server operated as a work of love. As such, it is maintained as was said earlier, "warts and all." I'm sorry you lost your items and spent all that effort which you might as well just do over again from scratch. I've been waiting for a reimbursement for coming up on a full year now. So I feel your pain. Please just try to enjoy the ride and chalk up this experience as a learning event. P.S. There are a lot of us who feel the pain of various broken spells and quests. (Immolate, Reaper of the Dead...) You're not alone by any stretch. | ||
