Quest Questions

[georgel]

My friends and I are wondering how the quests work. There are a handful that either don't give out xp or gold to every party member or we don't have the option of completing for some reason. Of course there are odd circumstances with each, but here is what we've found so far. Any advise or direction would be great.

1) Styne Docks - Werewolf Wizard in the tower. You get the key once per group and it seemed that only the party leader got the key. As a result:

--If the party leader leaves the group. Noone else can complete the quest until he comes back.
--If you die before completing this quest there is no way to get back into the tower.
--If you have to run out of the tower to rest and recover, there is no way to go back into the tower.
--I had to have to DM open the tower for me so that I could go in and complete it.

2) In the Fredian Stepes, up on the hill is a female elven wizard in a house who is looking for her wand. I think her name is Selina. She sends you into the Kobold caves to retrieve it and this begins a multi-part quest.

--Upon completion of part 3 and returning to Selina, I was outside the house when someone in my group completed the quest (I slipped on the ice and was waiting to stand up). As a result, I got zero xp and gold, but the quest was closed out of my book.

3) Another friend later joined us and got Bodak's Belt. I was killing some time in the wizard shop while he ran into trade hall to give Bodak back his belt. I didn't need to go because I completed this quest a few days ago.

--Instead of him getting the xp and gold and Trent's book, he got no xp, no gold, no book.
--I got a message from while in the Wizard shop that said, you have already completed this quest and will get no xp.
--I also wound up with Trent's book again, even though I already completed this quest.
--I was the party leader.

Should we be leaving the group and completing quest separately?

When I do quests with others, having done them all before, I do my very best to make sure that we don't start quests that take a long time, we don't start quests someone has listed as finished in their journal, and that we are all together when finishing the quest.

This requires both IC and OOC conversation, but does allow people to work quests together.

The very best part about quests, as long as you stick around you will always get another chance at doing the quests, the scripted quests are scripted to recycle after a week (or the day after your character reappears if gone for awhile, Fal Druar's long sabbatical waiting for 1.62 patch to fix him has shown this to me). So on the 8th day after completing a quest or nolonger progressing on a quest your journal entries will clear and you may do them again.

This really is VERY simple to answer and I seem to explain this at various times. So, I will answer this one last time and sticky it. ALL Quests pay the party leader with party after *IF* present. If you want to be in a party and a quest is being done, you should ALL be present at each time a reward is given. If you are valid for reward, in other words you have not done the quest within the last 7 days RL, you will then get the reward, do not tell me ANY of them do not work this way, because I regurally prove they do if you did not get anything someone side stepped you kick their butt.

And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! before asking this sort of question READ THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION FAQ!!! I had this in here for sometime.
