Completing quests when recovering tombstone.

[Darkmoore]

Every time I die and recover my tombstone, any delivery quests that I currently have become completed, even though I haven't done them yet. So far, this bug does not interfere with me being able to complete those quests.

This has to do with gaining the items back into your inventory when you recover your equipment after death. If you had looked before dying, you would have found them listed as complete.

But I didn't complete them. I haven't done those quests yet.

I admit that the messages are misleading, but the "completion" criteria is having everything ready to deliver to the final NPC. In a straight delivery quest, it was probably marked completed when you first received it.

This has bugged me in the past; however, it is useful to see that I don't have to do any real work for those quests. I just wish there was a better way to express the notion of "completeness".

Of course, I may be blowing smoke out of a nether orifice if I haven't understood your situation adequately.

no no Sword mage - I think you're right

for instance:

Delivery Quest: At night
Task: Deliver goods to some people at Veskal's Exchange
Accept Task: Yes
Go into Quest Log: Quest is marked with a green checkmark

Delivery Quest: Hypatia's answer
Task: Deliver answer to the guy at the horse Race Track (darkhorse downs? or some such)
Accept Task: Yes
Go to Quest Log: Quest is marked with a green checkmark

these are just two of my hastily scribbled notes that I have from when I first started seeing the self same issue Darkmoore. After I started tracking them, I started seeing the pattern that SwordMage described.

*Every* time you take a "fed ex" mission (as I call them) the mission is immediately marked as "complete" (green check mark) in your quest log. But when you die and recover your corpse, you get "quest complete" when you have done nothing for the quest

I think this is just the games way of saying "Does this need a green checkmark? if yes, than quest complete"

YOU know the quest is not complete and *I* know the quest is not complete because Fed Ex has not yet made the delivery... but the game cannot think beyond it's array... make sense?

Wow!! I got it!! Thanks guys.

(There is hope for us Tanks yet)

Almost every quest finishes by talking to an NPC and receiving your reward. This is indicated (as has already been stated) by the quest showing as completed with a green check.

These simple fed-ex quests have only 1 interim step before completion, and that is to receive the item you need to deliver. Since the NPC who gives you the quest hands you the item to be delivered at the same time, it immediately shows up as being "completed". AND, when you die and loot your corpse, you pick up the item in question, thus "completing" the quest again. The same thing happens with items you need to gather X number of and turn in. If you check those quests after you've died and before you've looted, you'll notice they're not complete.
