Resetting Quests

[sharauvyn]

I don't really know where to put this, as it feels kind of like half way between a bug report and a suggestion. But I've noticed that when you try to turn in quest items like the head of the goblin tribe leaders, the mayor in Orlbar doesn't give you the option of turning it in for a reward if you've already done the quest once since the last time the server reset. I am just thinking it might be good if this minor issue could be solved so that people don't have to hold onto heads or figure out how to jump through hoops in order to do the quest a second time since the server's last reset. I have currently a head of Grignar Glowurn in my PC's inventory that I can't turn in, and I know I've had that problem before, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I also remember having this trouble with other quests as well.

I'll look into options when I add a new scripted quest system soon. In the meantime, DMs can reset the server if needed.

Generally, I do bug fixes, nitpicks and minor aditions to the module every few days and we get reset during the updates.

If the server has not been reset and you are trying to hand the mayor heads - it means you have not waited the required 24 hours Real Time before doing the quest again.

If your character is 10th level or less you must wait 24 hours real time before doing that quest again. If your char does not meet the 10th level requirement then you must wait 3 days (72 hours) Real Time before doing that quest once again.

Follow the server rules and you will not have problems.

Alright, good to know. If I didn't wait 24 hours, it was a matter of once per calendar day, but I guess I'll have to pay more attention to that.

I usually try to reset the mod when no one is on or everyone leaves for the night but the last few days people have been on but I can make more of a habit of making shouts for upcoming resets when I am about to log.

I'm honestly pretty sure the characters I have had this problem on hadn't been to the same dungeon in less than 24 hours. I have enough alts to spread my play time around to the point I don't know if I'd even had the same character logged on at all in more than 24 hours.

The server needs to be physically reset inorder to reset most quests. At times, the server goes several days without a reset if I'm busy/away or everytime I or another DM check, folks are logged in and adventuring. We generally try and not interupt folks gameplay for resets.
