World This Quest Kinda Sucks. . . (the Lost Tower)

Anyone remember the quest "Lost Tower?" If not, (since it's super forgettable) you basically talk to someone named Laen in Nemract and she says that when her family fled ancient Nemract they left a book about creatures and stuff behind. She says go find a tower in Ancient Nemract (no coordinates or anything.) And for some unprovided reason, there is a catacombs maze under the house that leads to a mini-boss skeleton that has the book. Not to mention Laen also said "A skeleton probably has it" which is so unemotional and bad. Not to Also mention, the GM forums says; "don't make quests with mazes, mazes are evil." After you return the book to Laen she says, "Thanks this will be an interesting read!"

Essentially, this quest is so boring, so fast, and breaks the flow of some things. Maybe add some lore to tie it in? But in my opinion, get rid of this crappy level 26 quest and put a better one in its place. Thanks for reading my little rant, goodbye now.

 

oh.. thsat one i get it confused with tower of amnesia

 

I kinda like it tbh gameplay-wise. Story wise, it's garbage, but for a low level quest it's kinda cool to go exploring underground to get to a boss to kill to retrieve an item.

 

The Lost Tower in a nutshell

Laen: Fetch this book at some tower in Ancient Nemract

Go to tower

Navigate tower

Fight easy skeleton boss

Go back to Laen and give him it

Quest over

TLDR: Fetch quest

 

Same as jungle fever bruh

 

Possibly in the overall way the two quests are, but in jungle fever the quest is humorous, and Worid is a more developed character that you can feel like doing the quest with, the overall setting and feeling dominates the dull empty lines of Lost Tower.

 

tbh most Wynn and Gavel quests need reworks, they have hardly any lore and are mostly fetch quests, or in Gavel's case, fetch quests that end with a crappy boss

 

Honestly, while this quest isn't particularly bad, especially for older lower lvl quests, it's mostly forgettable. It's not bad per se, just dull imho. I think we should be talking more about tower of amnesia.

 

I have been wanting this to happen for quite a while. The book that the player has to fetch for this random Nemract resident seems to be nothing special, other than it is "interesting." The tower itself is dull and claustrophobic, and the boss in the end is just lame. There are no puzzles or any form of obstacles in the way, other than mobs. Along with that, Dwelling Walls is only few levels behind this, which also has the player get a book to a person.

This quest is clearly one of the ones that should be remade/revamped, alongside Sister City, Pit of the Dead, Frost Bitten, and Macabre Masquerade.

 

This is actually the only quest I can’t remember how it looks like or how it plays. Easily the most forgettable quest

 

It's kinda hard to make most of the quests into the Lore though. I do understand what you mean, but I think that how it is now is good. I like how the people at the different places are having problems, and you have to help them to solve the problem.

 

the thing is when corkus came out All of those quests where good, same with the D&D quests, i think older quests wgere just to reduce grinding times and had nothing to do with lore

 

While I fully agree with this, there's no need to always make overcomplicated quests with huge cutscenes and stuff. I feel like reworking the dialogue, re-arranging the build and gameplay could just do (the lore of the quest makes sense, no need to change it except the "skeleton got mah book" part)!

You get my +1 :)

 

This and Tower of Amnesia are my two least favorite quests in Wynn. They are both so boring and unnecessarily bad. For this quest, I think that the only changes that need to be made are to dialogue (maybe having the boss at the end say something or make the quest giver say something interesting) or to fit small pieces of lore in the place itself (mobs with names that fit the tower for example). Tower of Amnesia just needs to be replaced. It sucks.

 

Maybe they could change a few things, like she's actually an undead in disguise, or she was following you and she finds out that skeleton boss is her great-grandfather or something? That'd add a whole new level of emotions to the quest.

 

Yay that quest was very annoying.

 

Eh as Long as its easy exp I don’t really care but if it means more space for more interesting quests then ya go delete it.
