Andor's Trail

What about a quest that involves obtaining an extraordinary item to complete the quest ?
this is my basic idea = you enter a village where the chief tells you of a undead beast that has kidnapped and imprisoned his daughter, many of his warriors have tried to kill and rescue his daughter to no evial as the beast cannot be killed by any ordinary weapon, recently the chief has acquired information regarding a extraordinary weapon that is capable of killing the beast, he tells you of a race of creatures that have the weapon and if you can obtain the weapon and kill the undead beast and free his daughter you will be handsomely rewarded for your quest
I was going to suggest a legendary item but I know some players don't like grinding for legendary,that is why I said extraordinary as this can be achieved early, just an idea !

I think, it's a bit to difficult for most of the players. You need around 5 hours to obtain an item like this if you cank kill the monsters fast. If you got the extraordinary thing at last, I'm sure that you don't want to give it to an Npc.
But I would really like to see a quest with some items which have a drop rate around 1 or 2 %.

well said sir, and i agree...

+1

I'm not saying you have to give the item up, once you've obtained it you can keep it, you just need it to finish that certain quest.
Alot of quests can be completed within a couple of hours so why not have one that takes longer or that matter it could be quicker depending how quick the item drops,
Many players grind for leg/extraordinary items anyway so why not implement this in a quest and like I said you have the bonus of keeping the weapon !

it's a neat idea, don't get me wrong!



but 0.1% drop rate is way too low for the casual gamer.
at this time, the Rare Drops are totally unnecessary & just for fun.

now, say... 1%~10% drop chance?
sure! i think that's plausible.

Ye does sound a bit more plausible,perhaps 1- 5% is a good target IMO

+1 good one, how about werecreatures and silver weapons ? Buyable at high price and/or drop ratio 1%. ?

How about instead of grinding for the extraordinary item there is someone who already has the weapon and is unwilling to hand it over for selfish reasons? Then the player could either battle the someone for the weapon or buy it from him for 10000 gold coins. After that, the player could go to the village and exterminate the monsters, after which the village elder requests the player to give them the weapon so that they could fend themselves against the leftover monsters. Then the player can either:
1: Refuse bluntly and fight the village warriors, get some extraordinary items
2: Pretend to go along and give them a worthless weapon, get some gold and xp and access to the village's shops
3: Go along with the elder's wishes and be rewarded by gold and xp and access to the village's shops.

Like the idea of werecreatures,why not have this story instead=instead of the undead beast the chiefs daughter was kidnapped and imprisoned by a group of werecreatures,the chief has a Silver dagger to confront the creatures but none of his warriors are brave enough to accept the quest in fear of being bitten by a creature and turning into one of them,you accept all kill the creatures but bitten in the process(some new condition, constant effect) once back with the chief he tells you of a potioneer that may be able to help you and reverse the effects so you set off to seek him out

I think you shouldn't be able to buy such rare items because players with high level builds could buy everything without grinding. But maybe you could also give a rare item to a special merchant and he pays a huge amount of money. Or he can change your rare item in another rare item you wish.
Btw, I'd like to see extraordinary items as a reward of big quests.
