Doooo eeeet. Glom can take them on. Glomdor needs no King (Glumki exempted from this clause)

People stealing all of the leaves is annoying.

Do you mean people not doing the pixie quest take the leaves to prevent the quest?

Or do you mean people doing the quest? If you are going to do the quest, why wouldn't you take all the leaves? There are more pixies than leaves. And the more pixies you bring in, the better for everyone.

I believe it is more that, by greeting Miakoda x 10 you prevent anyone else from being able to do the quest until the leaves reset. Newbies can't do the power quest for the glade or just do the quest for something easy. If the leaves worked more like the web then this couldn't happen. Though I thought all of the power quests 'cept glomdoring were similar in this aren't they?

People who take all of them for whatever reason, and then for whatever reason don't use them (such as getting distracted by a friend, who just must be greeted in the most happy way possible!)

More prophecies please! If they're all half as funny as the Mag on and resulting explaination... happy.gif

Some people need to gather squids and seahorses to get prophecies dry.gif. So wait your turn!
Razenth2009-09-29 00:00:36
Man, when I did it before we got fancy honours for it it was totally not worth it.
Kiradawea2009-09-29 00:25:47
Ya gotta earn it to prophecy it. Go post some prophecies to the plot-board if you're so desperate. tongue.gif
Razenth2009-09-29 00:27:38
I did it cause you got a spiffy one... I thought mine would be spiffy too. I was wrong sad.gif
Kiradawea2009-09-29 00:30:23
I did it to get information about Raziela and to get information during the fake divine. It took three days to complete, and the divine became aware of it quite early so they rewarded my effort.
Kiradawea2009-09-29 00:32:36
What I'm saying is, with everyone and their dog doing it now that it's become cool, the divine simply don't have the time or energy to write a propechy for each and everyone who does it. If you want one yourself, it's probably best to write it yourself.
Razenth2009-09-29 00:39:25
No no, there was this one time you did and posted on Raves or something, so I did it right after. This was way before Epic quests, maybe even before XI was first done.

And some of us had to do it when Avenger was bugged, Mags were ganking us all along the way, the nexus had negative power, and level 70 was considered downright epic. Your cries fall on deaf ears.
Razenth2009-09-29 00:41:47
Man, those were the good old days... oh wait, I wasn't even alive then! And I sure am glad I wasn't! happy.gif
Kiradawea2009-09-29 00:42:36
That's what I've been saying forever no? That I did the spire quests long before they became popular and got nothing in return.

Though what annoys me most is that this seems to be turning into "who can snatch the last pearl the most times" quest. A pity our first Chosen of Celestia will end like that.
Razenth2009-09-29 00:59:58
No kidding sad.gif

In the words of another player, I am SHOCKED AND SURPRISED to learn that someone in our city would behave in such a manner.
Kiradawea2009-09-29 01:03:09
I'm still hoping they'll institute two other obligatory quests, both to remove the tediousness of doing this quest five times, and to make the epic honour require more than AFK squid farming.

Xavius also had to walk to the tutor up hill, both ways, in the snow.
Aerotan2009-09-29 02:31:14
And half the time the tutor was dead!


Back on topic: It might be nice to see the honours actually reflect what had to be done for the quest. For instance, if the honours reads "He is Skerriagh's Homeboy." Then make the part of the quest deal with helping/empowering the Lord of the High Tide.
Razenth2009-09-29 02:33:01
I can actually believe that.
