No, I haven’t jay. I don’t think I ever even knew of it. How do I do that?

Thanks

Q

double post

It’s the button in your little menu that has a yellow ! on it. Just click that and your quest log will come up, and you can see what quests you’re currently marked as having. If you actually still have daily quests that you accepted a long time ago, they’re still valid. You have to either complete them or abandon them to be able to do those quests again. That’s why I say that you may actually have all the Kaluak dailies accepted in your log but you haven’t either done them at all or have done them but haven’t turned them in. You wouldn’t be offered them again until they’re done or abandoned.

:smack: Oh, shit. THAT one…:smack:

I thought you meant one that’s got every quest I’d ever done on it., I’m sorry, my friend!

No the quest log I have right now has only about 5 quests (in Tol B) on it.

But jay, if I’d abandoned one, or never completed or accepted one, wouldn’t they still have the yellow exclamation point over their heads?

Also, is there an add-on that DOES track every quest one has ever done?

Right now, pretty much all I have to do are dailies. I can’t seem to manage that Mt. Hyjal one quest chain, because I can’t seem to find those 3 people who need my help so I can do that chain, and among others, well, some I just can’t manage on my own, so I’m kinda screwed there.

But as our pal Oak, always reminds me: “Are ya having fun?”. Yes I am!
And meanwhile, I’m building honor rep for my one-person guild “Knights Who Say JA”! So it isn’t all bad, it’s just that I wish I could complete a Kaluak quest chain so that I can add them to my dailies.

Thanks, buddy and sorry for my lame-brainedness, but that’s why I’m “Blinkard” dontcha know!:slight_smile:

Q

Woot! My first Epic random world drop of any value: Dizze’s Whirling Robe. It’s not really an upgrade for my priest (who is wearing the Mercurial Robe) but it might be worth something to someone who doesn’t feel like grinding out all the points to buy something of equivalent level. Plus it looks pretty cool. According to my Auctioneer data it’s should go for 17-22k gold but I think that’s probably about three times what I can realistically expect.

“applying non-critical updates - this will take some time”. And it’s a green bar, which means I can play, right?

Well, it shows that every time I sign on, and I’m wondering why it doesn’t run in the background?

==================================

To Skammie, Gratz and w00t! I get whale statues and tower keys from my Dal fishing dailies, but they’re not an auction item although they do get about 12 g’s each from the vendor.

Q

Hoorah! I did check last night, but when I was on my way back here to post that it had to be a problem with your computer, I saw that you’d already realized that.

Nope. You have to do their quests, or you won’t get it.

Did you check out the rep guide page I linked and follow it step by step? You’re probably just missing some earlier quests that you need to unlock the dailies. Not sure if this is the right page, but it’s worth a look: Kalu'ak - Wowpedia - Your wiki guide to the World of Warcraft

Check the Wowhead page. Its buyout value will be based on more views of the item and a bit more accurate.

Yup.

Could be set not to. Or do you often shut down your computer after you’re done playing WoW?

What you could do is run just the launcher (that has the download status bar) some time when you’re not playing. That will definitely have the download running.

  1. I’ll check out the launcher. That sounds like what it is.

  2. I think I know what I may be doing wrong with the K’als. Don’t you have to actually click on some of those npc’s to get them to talk to you, even if they don’t have an excl. point? I have that page right in front of me and some of those quests do sound like I didn’t do them for whatever reason.

Thanks, SFG!

Q

Can y’all please look at this for me?

See where a lot of people have lost the quest beginning? That’s the same problem I’m having, and if there’s an answer of how to get it back (what happened, I had the quest, but lost it because I got killed) I’ll be damned if I can find it.

They mention the Quartermaster in the inn, but she’s just a vendor and doesn’t offer the Call of the Ancients Quest, which is what I need. Then someone wrote to go to Sethria’s Roost and I did that, but I’ll be damned if I can locate her. I’m in the general location, but I can’t find her. According to the post, you’re supposed to pick up a quest from her, in order to get back in the chain.

I abandoned the quest severl times, but can’t find a way to regain it.

Thanks

Q

I really, really wish there were quests for Gilneas rep. Doing regular randoms is more reliable since heroics are still liable to break down at the drop of a hat, but man, all the RDF gives me is Tol’vir, Grim Batol and Halls of Origination. Why’d it have to be fuckin’ Troggs indeed.

Ooooh, I did get my Champion of the Frozen Wastes last week! I was missing Malygos for a while.

Also, Darnassus, if I have to dig up your damn kimchi one more time…

Have you done a search on wowhead? There may be Gilneas quest hubs scattered about that award a few thousand here and there – like the end of Felwood, for instance.

I remember being able to max out the goblin rep to buy a trike without having to DF much, but I did have to travel all over the place to do it.

Okay. Never mind. I did what one guy wrote and just flew around till I found a yellow exclamation point, so I’ll just get back in that way. Don’t know how I’ll ever get back to the start, but at least I’ll have something new to do.

Thanks

Q

I now remember what kept me from getting into the Hyal questchain. That Archdruid that I’m supposed to escort out of that cave which has the green mist? I abandoned that quest months ago because I couldn’t find the way out. So today I reacquired it and got him outta there, but jesus, it took us about 30 minutes! I was about to abandon it again, because I was cussin so hard I was getting spit all over my screen, but then we finally found it, and now I’m the chain.

Thanks

Q

And that’s not even the hardest part involving him! :smiley:

I’m getting lore/gameplay dissonance again!

(You can ignore that, Quasi…I’m referring to stuff that happens later on)

I’m just happy to be back questing again kushie! Weird how something so simple as skipping a quest can knock you out of the next patch, huh?

Q

Yeah, it’s such a hard line to draw, especially for a game like this! They had two choices: advance the plot in that one area and have to put a quest requirement on it, or do what they did with the Blood Elves and Draenei and ‘freeze’ their development. Those two races haven’t seen much advancement at all since the BC expansion pack because the expansion wasn’t required. Their starter zones were the only ones not redone in Cataclysm.

You know you get rep from wearing the tabard even if you don’t queue randomly, right? If you hate those dungeons, queue for ones you’d rather do. All you lose is the bonus loot/money from having the dungeon randomly assigned.

So there’s NO WAY for the game to track all your quests your quests?

Thanks

Q

This is true, but it adds even more time to the DPS queue.

So we just landed on top of that post, Wolkie got out his trusty Flintlock and we had some target practice. ;):smiley:
