The Funnest Quests

[Aeryonis]

In my years of playing, I had completely skipped over most of the quests and have just gotten around to doing them now.

I just did Broken Home, and to date, this has probably been my favorite quest. Investigating a haunted mansion and dodging a murderous ghost - yes please!.

Are there any other quests people have enjoyed that I can look forward to completing, if I haven't already?

Tons!

Lord of Vampyrium
Pieces of Hate
Fate of the Gods
Azzanadra's Quest (this isn't much gameplay but it's seriously cool lore/story)
The Needle Skips
Desperate Measures
Children of Mah
Dishonnor Among Thieves
Kindred Spirits
Gower Quest
The Death of Chivalry
Rune Memories
Heart Stealers
Carneillean Rising
The Firemaker's Curse

Personally I think of this list you'll like The Needle Skips and The Firemaker's Curse. They are both mystery quests like Broken Home that have very unique gameplay, large emphasis on puzzles, and in general are just very strong pieces of writing.

The Needle Skips was one of the prereqs for Broken Home! I did enjoy it! There are some there that I’m eager to check out!

Edit: I was wrong, lol. I was thinking of Desperate Times, which I also did.

Dimension of Disaster is my all time favorite since it's so unique and you visit a place that you can't normally access.

The needle skips is probably my least favorite quest of all time. It just dragged on for nothing.

It's been actual years since I've done major questing, but I remember enjoying Darkness of Hallowvale alot.

Well, that's all gonna be down to personal preference...

For example, I loved the recent Azzanadra's Quest, because the storyline and lore is a major reason for me to play the game, and that quest tied together and expanded upon several important plot points. However, I would imagine that many other players will just spacebar through the quest dialog and then complain that there wasn't any bosses or stuff to fight...

Also, I didn't like Broken Home. Horror and timed content are a major turn off for me, and I have no plans to attempt the quest replays. Ever.

Yeah, broken home doesn't play well with the tick system from what I remember.

That's totally fair though! I'm hugely into horror and the quest played like horror games I'd enjoy. Check the doors before opening, find clues, etc.

I haven't done Azzandra's, but I do love the RS lore too.

I just started Dimension of Disaster, and I'm quite enjoying it as well. It brings me back to the days of when I first started playing RuneScape, where every single drop was a cause for celebration.

It's a mystery novel quest similar to more old style point and click adventure, but with a very unique mechanic in the way the puzzle uses language phrases to unlock the story. I can understand why some might not like it because you've got to be someone who enjoys this kind of style gameplay and the invested in the mystery which you might not be if a down to earth mystery about a sickly daughter and a struggling mother don't strike your fancy.

I wouldn't say it was for nothing though since The Needle Skips was pretty important what with it introducing the needle and its user Gail. The Needle and its user having since become a major factor in the lore and tied to one of the biggest expansions to the world in ages.

If you like Horror definitely check out the entire Xau-Tak based content stuff.

There is the Pirate quest series which is this mix of comedy and lovecraft. With the horror elements balanced out by the comedy but it steadily becomes increasingly darker. With its epilogue (since it's conclusion was Pieces of Hate) quest Curse of the Blackstone being pretty serious and has an amazingly ominous atmosphere.

Then there is a Shadow over Ashdale which is one of two quests based on Lovecraft's a shadow over innsmouth, the other is Horror from the Deep which unlike Shadow over Ashdale isn't tied to Xau-Tak. We also have the Rag and Bone Man quest series which consists of two quests Rag and Bone Man & Fur and Seek.

Beyond that there is completing the "Lovingly Crafted" achievement which is achieved by finding all the journals talking about Xau-Tak's history and influence in the world. Some come from quests and miniquests, others are dropped by unspeakable horrors, and some are found by exploring. I mean you COULD Just read the journal entries on the wiki but what fun is that?

For the record my suggested order of this content is...

Rum Deal > Cabin Fever > The Great Brain Robbery > Rocking Out > A Clockwork Syringe > Rag and Bone Man > Fur and Seek > A Shadow Over Ashdale > Lovingly crafted achievement > Pieces of Hate > Curse of the Black Stone

I think that makes the tightest narrative experience.

Really the word mechanic came off as super tedious to me, and it didn't help that I didn't care about or have any interest in any of the characters involved in it.

Thank you!! I think until dxp I'm going to be getting quests done, and I'm 100% using this list. I have completed some of the ones there, but I'm looking forward to getting the rest of them done.

I'm still new to the game(started like 1 week ago) but so far I really enjoyed Broken Home and Bringing Home the Bacon

Then you're in for some fun because you can replay it several times in order to unlock certain rewards and achievements.
