OK, I have a Jade Reaver, now what? A lot of running around is what. As I work on completing part 1 of my epic quest, I keep thinking about the people who figured it out the first time. I mean, I am following a walk through that is pretty complete, in fact I created my own walk through by synthesizing several different ones and leaving out steps that are unnecessary. So, how did someone find this quest? Looking backwards at some of the parts, I can see things that might have tipped off the original questers. But, still... there is a lot of running around finding stuff out. My boiled down version has about 50 steps to it and the Ranger one is comparitively easy.

It is easy to dismiss the early questers are geeks with no life. They probably stayed up for days when Kunark was released locating the quests, the cool new mobs and gear, etc. While that may well be true, there is still a certain about of dedication and analysis that went into solving these quests and my hat is off to them.
