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.

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
A few days ago we sent two Guards, Rolf and Malakai, to investigate along the river, and they have not yet returned. To complete my report, I must know what happened to those men.$B$BTravel north along the river and find the guards... or their remains.
Objectives
Guard Thomas wants you to travel north up the river and search for the two lost guards, Rolf and Malakai.
What the quest-giver says at the end
Although much has been stripped from the corpse, strewn nearby is a medallion with the words: "Footman Malakai Stone" etched upon it.
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.
