Quests

How to interact with quests

Quests on EQ MUD are by design, true to the quests in EQ EMU. This means you can assume Allakhazam and other web references to Classic EverQuest quests are in tact. Here are two examples of interacting with NPCs by speech and by trading items.

    Level: 50 (0.0%) HP: 326/1145 MP: 0/0 > l at walnan
    Walnan is a Quest NPC.
    Walnan looks quite formidablt.
            Walnan is carrying:
    Purple Sr Apprentice Robe* (magic)
    Level: 50 (0.0%) HP: 326/1145 MP: 0/0 > say hail
    You say: hail
    Level: 50 (0.0%) HP: 326/1145 MP: 0/0 >
    Walnan asks: Hallo, gorgar! I am Walnan, elementalist, summoner, wanderer, and
    sometimes teacher. Might you be a elementalist in search of the truth?
    say search of the truth
    You say: search of the truth
    Level: 50 (0.0%) HP: 359/1145 MP: 0/0 >
    Walnan asks: The truth is something not all people can handle or understand. If
    the truth of the elements is what you seek then the Power of the Elements shall
    reveal all. Have you come to learn of Magi'kot?
    say come to learn
    You say: come to learn
    Level: 50 (0.0%) HP: 360/1145 MP: 0/0 >
    Walnan asks: Magi'kot was the most powerful elementalist of his age. He may have
    been the most powerful mortal mage of all time, such was his mastery. He wished
    to obtain infinite knowledge and wisdom in order to further expand the arcane
    art of Summoning. Do you know what became of Magi'kot?

    Level: 50 (0.0%) HP: 408/1145 MP: 0/0 > trade satchel,tome,tome 2 to cazic

    You try to trade Flayed Skin Tome to Cazic.
    Level: 50 (0.0%) HP: 410/1145 MP: 0/0 >
    Cazic Thule seems pleased with the amount of pain that you have been able to
    inflict. Cazic Thule then grabs your hands and begins to infuse them with his
    power. Your hands burn like they were placed in lava for a moment, then feel
    cool as ice. You can feel the sheer power flowing through your new weapons of
    pain.
    Cazic Thule gives you Whistling Fists (magic).

If you attempt to trade the wrong items to an NPC, it will likely give them back:

    Cazic Thule says: I have no need for this gorgar, you can have it back.
    Cazic Thule says: I have no need for this gorgar, you can have it back.
    Cazic Thule says: I have no need for this gorgar, you can have it back.

Tasks and Quest Tasks

Many quests are simple dialogue/trade interactions, but some use the Task system. If an NPC assigns you a task, track and manage it with:

    task
    task info <task_id>
    task abandon <task_id>
