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.

This quest row records no previous and no next quest, so it stands alone in the realm's data. A chain can also be carried by other rows pointing at this one.

Items this row names

This quest row asks for no items and hands out none. That is what the row says; the item columns are all zero.

The gossip a player reads first

Oh my, you must be the scout Longbraid said he would send! You cannot imagine how worried I have been.$b$bMy wife, Merrin, has been sending me letters each week for the past month. She is part of the Whelgar Excavation team. But it has been nearly two weeks since her last correspondence. Surely something is wrong!$b$bLongbraid said that he would send a scout to check up on things if we did not hear from the team soon. I assume that scout is you, $N. Find Merrin at the excavation site to the east!

Objectives

Tarrel Rockweaver wants you to travel to the Excavation Site and contact Merrin Rockweaver.

What the quest-giver says at the end

Oh, thank the heavens you are here!

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.
