wakka102 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hmm the general feeling im getting when reading the current replies is that not many users actually like the quests, only do them for rewards etc..Maybe the reason you don't like them is because you always use a guide? Or is it because your quest points aren't in the hiscores and usually you aren't gaining any exp through doing a quest, they're just for fun.no, ive done all but the elemental workshop part 2 and I dont like quests. I just do them for the rewards, to say ive done them all, and for guthix tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvw08 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Usualy, I skim the guide then go out and do the quest, so I get the general idea of what to do, then if I get stuck I'll read that part in the guide.

drgnslyer_15 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 i personally don't do quests unless the reward is good or it accesses a new place.. I don't like quests cause they aren't very fun RSN: drgnslyer15 15 skills 90+ - 10 skills 99 - 200m+ total exp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddrmaster7 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 When a new quest comes out, I try it myself before I use guides. All the other quests (probably before August) I used guides on. :D Ranked top 15 in the world for In The Groove. Click to watch videos.I'm back! For now.

Sharane Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 If a quest is supposed to be challenging, why use a guide? :-k Whenever I'm doing an activity and the quest topic springs up, people start blabbering on how easy the hardest quests in Runescape are. I laugh at most of them, since they deny using guides. One such example was desert treasure. I died twice not knowing what to expect in that quest then somebody who did it at a pretty low expected combat level says it's easy and never died on it? They either did it before or used a guide... :-s To answer your question, I hate quest guides. They ruin the fun of doing quests... And I loved the Forgettable Tales. ^^ "300 programmers make their futile but glorious last stand against 1000000 angry players in The battle of Misthalin.

hamgod316 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 For some quests, you need a guide. I really don't like puzzles so I'll need a guide with a lot of puzzles (MEII). For the most part, most quests aren't that bad and can be done without guides. 217 Quest Points.. :thumbsup: - Affliction - 100 Combat - 9/15/06Merchant / Skiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaidinWoT Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 fresh quests i always try to do before the guide comes online I was one of the first to figure out that puzzle in The eyes of glouphrie on an entire world. Feels awesome to be one of the first to finish a new quest. I was the very first person on World 99 to make it to Lunar Isle, so I know what you mean :D (Unfortunately the time I took to write the quest guide for it stopped me from being the first to finish it) Add your blog to the BlogScape Index!SaidinWoT can now be tracked easily on weekends - Erm, maybe when I start playing again.Levels do not measure intelligence OR maturity.

ThurinEthir Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I did almost all the F2P quests using guides...But that's okay, I'l probably end up doing them again someday, and will have forgotten everything about them by them. For P2P quests, I do as much as I can without any help. If I get stuck, I go to the "QuestHelp" system. If that doesn't work, I'll go to the tip.it guide, but only to look at a few words.

cowmasta13 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 fresh quests i always try to do before the guide comes online but old quests i am to lazy to figure out without guide when there is 1 on tipit That's my stance. If a new quest comees out (I've done every new one w/o a guide since Making History), I do it without a guide. But If I'm doing an old quest (Haunted mine now, for example) I'll go back to guide to get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, best feeling in the world. did death plateau at level 30, around one of the first 20 people on my world to have claws (i woulda been one of the first to do preist in peril too, but that was before jagex learned that making a quest monster with a 50 second respawn time in a tiny little room isn't good for 1500 people (when it came out, there was also a bug where you could kill it multiple times, and people would camp down there to stop people from finishing the quest) 72 construction.

elucin8er Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Well put post, I believe quests make Runescape. Those who complete quests just for items or exp, shouldn't be playing a fantasy rpg game :P I usually try it out first if I'm in the mood, and I feel really good if I complete it. However if I get stuck, I usually turn to a guide for the item list, and try to work things out there. If all else fails, I look up the part I'm stuck at, and continue on. I completed Recepie for disaster the first day it came out, I was so determined to do that all on my own. It was released 8:00pm Aussie time, and I played it right through till morning. It was the longest ever I've been in front of a comp screen, and I don't plan to do it again :oops: Proper Daily blogging including Starcraft 2!

Holy_Monk Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Lol i aint gonna lie, i use quest guides for like 80% of all the quest's i've done, i only do quest's honestly without a guide if its the day it comes out and the quest interests me to do it. ----Retired Runescape Player 1/13/07----- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonwhy Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I hate quests. The only quests I do are ones that I need. So, I use a guide for the whole thing so I can get it over and done with fast and easily. same as with me, if rfd didnt come out i would have 60 qp..... Wondering what to do with life .....

Artemis_42 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Unfortunatly, updates are usually relesed at 5-6am here, and on weekdays no less which makes it nearly impossible for me to do a quest right after release. However I never fail in doing a quest the day that it comes out, (Even if I have to grind 4 herblore levels ) and make good time doing it. I hate using quest guides, they really do suck the fun right out of it. Whats really the point of having somone else do the entire thing for for? If your going through quests to day you've done them all then using guides for every one makes it pointless since you won't achieve anything.

Hairdog Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I find quests to be a huge part of the Runescape world. If it wasn't for quests, the world map would be MUCH smaller, and we'd have less access to unique items to help with skilling. Plus, I don't know how much of a nerd I sound like, but I enjoy the continuing storylines in each quest and like completing some quests simply for the sake of the plot. The quests also provide good oppurtunities to actually think instead of clicking on a tree or a fishing spot. As for doing quests, I try to go as far as I can without a guide (this is easier to do on newly released quests), and always make sure I have some way out of a situation if I run into something too hard to fight right away (I always bring an ectophial and antipoison/prayer potions for safety). Of course, if I'm really stuck, I'll peek at a tipit guide to get a hint at what I'm missing. I don't like to do that though. The game would be a lot less interesting without the quests, that's for sure. This game isn't ALL about making millions or going to the Barrows for 10 hours. ~Member of Legends' Guild~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
