How it is completed

stored id 2

This realm keeps one row per patch for some quests, and this is the patch 0 row — the newest it carries. This realm's own quest table holds 4,727 rows for 4,433 quests, counted from this realm — the difference is the patch rows.

Who starts it

One start, from this realm's own creature table.

In the realm's own chain

The chain is the realm's own: these are the previous and next entries this quest row stores.

Items this row names

Role	Item	Count
Asked for	Book from Sven's Farm	1

Every item here is named by this realm's own item table, and each name is a link to that item's page.

The gossip a player reads first

Here is your book back, $N, and I bid you fortune with your search. If you ask others in town, perhaps they can offer you more clues.$B$BAnd here is one more for you - although the author of this book is a stranger to Darkshire, the book itself was purchased here.

Objectives

See if other townsfolk have clues about the shadowy figure.

When the items are handed over

Sometimes I'll sell blank books to scholars and mages, or to anyone who wants to keep a journal.$B$BI remember well everyone to whom I sold a book within the last few months...

What the quest-giver says at the end

Ah, yes. I sold this book a month ago to a shady person. He didn't tell me his name, but he was a nervous, jittery chap, always looking over his shoulder.$B$BI hope that helps you...

This is the text the realm stores, written as stored. A vanilla quest writes a line break as “$B” and refers to its item counts as “%d”; the rules that turn those into a sentence belong to the game client, so the page keeps the codes rather than guessing at the prose.

Every row above is this realm's own quest row, read from its quest_template table. A value the realm did not record is left out or written as none rather than filled in with a plausible number. The figures labelled “stored id” — how the quest is completed, its type, and a reward spell — are keys into game data this realm was never sent, so they are printed as stored and carry no invented meaning. The experience figure is the base value the row holds: the amount a player is actually given depends on the character's level, and that rule belongs to the game client.
