Add Bestowal to Quest TypesFollow

#1 Sep 27 2010 at 1:41 PM Rating: Decent
I tried to create check list of All the quests and did a sort by Type. As it turns out, the Bestowal quests were not listed. Can you add this category please?

I am not sure what you mean by Bestowal Quests. There is Bestowal text that starts each quest, which we do display on the quest page, but I do not recall ever seeing a Bestowal quest.

An example is http://lotro.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?lotrquest=2799

If I search by quest type and open each type, the quest that do not show up are the Bestowal quests. What I am ultimately trying to do is list ALL the quests available (for a checklist), but to include the four columns: Name Level Zone Area.

If I search quests by 'List All', I see all the quests (including the Bestowal quests), only the quest name shows up and not the other columns.

I think I get it. What you are talking about is normally called an Item-triggered Quest. They do not really have a category.

OK. Just before I saw the answer this morning I had the idea to copy the 'List All' list and compare it side by side with those I copied from the individual 'type' categories. The 'List All' had 2834 quests while the quest from the 'type' categories had only 1733! That's 1101 quests that have no type! The first one that's not in the 'type' list is http://lotro.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?lotrquest=2238 . Could a quest not falling in the current 9 types be classified as other? Just a thought... It would make getting a checklist of all the quests easier with the 3 additional columns of Level, Zone, and Area for someone crazy enough to try to complete all the quest. Or can you just add the three columns Level, Zone and Area when a 'List All' is selected?

Hmmm, looks like we definitely need to review those although it is quite possible that there are that many that do not really have a category. They are "just" random quests in the zone.

We have a ticket in the system right now for our devs to add a field to the db for the name of the Quest Chain. That is yet another way to identify quests and yet that does not guarantee that they also fall into a quest category.

I was able to get all the quests (minus those listed below) with the columns by looking them up by location. A little more work, but it worked.

Quest listed in All Quest, but listed under the 'by Location'
A Friend of the Wild
An Invitation to the Summer Festival
Captain-General Verdantine
Free the Tree
Goblin-exiles
Hunting Goblins
Instance: Skorgrim's Tomb
Instance: The White Hand in Darkness
Ithildin Coin
Longo's Missing Waggon
Maw of Mazauk
Storming the Castle
The Fox in the Hen House
The Matron's Brood
The Old Took's Favourite
The Strongest Back
