It is almost impossible for me to remember everything that is said from the quest giver. I think it would be great if in the quest command, the quest would also give you a keyword to have them repeat what the quest is about again.

Type quest (quest number) and it will give you a brief overview of what you are supposed to be doing.

Yeah but sometimes its pretty vague...like Iserken's jobs the quest description is something like (from memory and paraphrasing, sorry) "Several odd jobs around Taslamar"....great, but which one was I doing? and what were the requirements?

Exactly, most of them are so vague that it doesn't help.

If I remember correctly. Most of those quests were in the game before Dulrik added the quest information which means all those quests needed written info added, all at once, instead of as the quests were being added, which is a huge job. Some awesome player that has done most of the quests should write up stuff for a bunch of the quests and submit it to the IMMs to be put into the game.

The one reason I don't ever really get over 20-30 quests done on any given character, is because there are a few that I use to level and the rest that I get interested in and head into, I lose track of because I'm not a note keeping kind of person.

Actually, I think it's because the current quest info system is limited to only displaying one hint per quest: And since quests have different pathways or multiple steps, that presents a problem with what to display.

I could undertake some of that. I have something like 70+ quests memorized.

Countless players would be in your debt.

The scripts themselves should have reminders built into them, and the quest command should merely direct you to whichever NPC can 'guide' you. This way the scriptmob can check where you're at, what you've completed and provide the correct hints.

That doesn't happen with like 70% of quests or more.
