NPC Quests

Post by irongolem » Mon Jul 12, 2004 9:25 am

OK.. logged in last night and all the NPC's tell my char that they have a job for them.. my char asks what it is; then they say 'sorry, I don't have anything for you.' Is this some bug or have I been flagged as some demon or other?
Can't think of anything I've done to upset the NPC's..

Keep trying, some of the NPCs are a bit forgetful and forget that they've already send someone to do that particular job for them. Try again later or ask another. There are many lazy NPCs around that want errand boys and the like.

I don't know about other servers, but in Mikona about 1 out of every 3 or 4 "named NPCs" will have a job for you usually. Each job nets you some gold or XP. But the biggest benefit is it gets you to explore a bit and know your surroundings.

something else I noticed.. a few npc quest items are lying around in Elysia.. could this be the reason they do not have any quests to do (someone already doing them but dropped the items)?

Nope. Most likely it's one of two things:

1) You might be too high level to get a FedEx quest, or too low level to get another quest.
2) You might have already accepted several other quests - you can only accept so many before NPCs will stop giving them to you (you need to actually deliver some of the items ;)).
