The insane Quester!

[Jarulf]

That said, I have to say that I tried this.  It seems like a great idea, but quickly becomes pretty stupid.  You rapidly outlevel so many quests in this game.  At first 1/3 of your time will be wasted killing mobs that give you no experience points to do quests that give you a couple hundred experience points.  As you get into your twenties, this turns into more than 1/2 your time.  All this time spent quickly feels wasted.

This is the exact reason, I started my first alt.  If you have 3 characters, you can do all of the quests in the game with at least one of them and will be able to get to all the quests while they're still green.  This is a much better solution, in my book, and lets you get more of the professional quests and the class quests as well.  Ultimately, this is the reason I ended up making a character of each class.

I don't mind running arround doing grey quests ever now and then, besides, one can usually do them pretty quick.

Until you reach 40 I'd recommend getting a speed increase on your boots because you're going to be doing a *lot* of running. I'd go with a mage for this project simply because being able to teleport to the capitals will save you a lot of time getting places (you can set your heartstone to the out of the way locations).

Since I am a druid, I believe I am quicker in cat for as well though, right? Not sure if I am THAT quick though.

I'd suggest you do it with a human. Quests are the main source of Reputation and if you stack the Human racial bonus with doing all the quests you should break all records for the highest ever Reputation in WoW

I have allready gone with the Night Elf though. So that will have to do! For the Horde, I will play an Undead Priest by the way.

Could you please collect all story-related information from the quests, and write down the complete WOW story in an understandable fashion? For example, what are the roles of all the smaller parties like the Scarlet Crusade, the Burning Blade, the Dalaran etc etc, and what are they planning? What is the meaning of all the strange corruptions and mystical forces the quest givers are talking about? What can we expect in the future? Imagine you should write the whole current story of WOW as a paperback book, that's what I would like to read :)

I have not taken notes so far (NE at arround level 16 now), but can perhaps do it. Not sure any mod actually save the quest text though, I guess one can always take a screan shot of the quest text as one do the quests.

You'll definitely need some kind of mod to keep track of what you've done.

The task gets more complicated in the later levels because you get a lot of quests that take you all over the place. Then you have quest givers that turn up in unexpected places. For instance. Grimbooze Thunderbew in Westfall gives the "Sweet Ambar" quest chain that will take you pretty much all over the known world and back.

Other tricky quests are ones that are started by objects you find, like Myzrael quest line in Arathi.

I installed QuestHistory right from the start, it keeps a list of the ones I have done which is good. Not sure how it handle different characters or if it just lunp them all together into one big list though.

The souvenir quest (or whatever it was called) was not so bad, did it in beta and I was sent all arround anyway. Plus I like to explore and get as many flight paths as early as possible.

As for quests from random items, sure. I recall one for a treasure hunt in Westfall that one got of a bottle killing Murlocs. I guess I just have to kill many Murlocs there then :)

I have allready "missed" two supposed quests in teldrasil, one is from an item of a named monster (the dark heart or something). I recall doing it in beta so I think you always get the item, but perhaps the monster is not always there. I simply forgot looking for it. There is supposedly also a quest called "Mist" or something were one have to escprt someone, didn't see it.

Otherwise I am so far on track!!




Thanks to all others of you for input so far.
