Making Quests: Arc-Emu

[Warriar]

I know there's a lot of posts for these out there, Might as well make it +1

So, Lets Start off, Go into your Database, I use Navicat, I'm pretty sure Heidi will work aswell.

Go into the "Quests" table, and open it up, go to the last page and make a new record by clicking the + button and lets get started.

Entry ID- This is what you'll use to spawn your quest
ZoneID- What zone is your quest in? You can leave this blank if needed
Sort - I usually leave this blank
Flags - I usually leave this blank too
MinLevel - This is the minimum level a person must be to do the quest
Quest Level - Say you put the minimum level as 70, put the quest level as 70 and the quest giver will have the yellow question mark above his head
Type - 0 : Regular
1 : Elite
21 : Life
41 : PvP
62 : Raid
81 : Dungeon
82 : World Event
Self Explanatory.
Required Races: What Races can do your quests? Bloodelf ETC.
1 - Human
2 - Orc
4 - Dwarf
8 - NightElf
16 - Undead
32 - Tauren
64 - Gnome
128 - Troll
512 - BloodElf
1024 - Dranei
690 - All the Hordes Races
1101 - All the Alliance Races
Blank for every race
Required Class: What class can do your quests, Tbh, I don't know any ids ^^
Lets skip over to Required Rep Faction: In order to get the id of this search the faction on thottbot and look up at the top for the ID, In your URL.
Required Rep Value: How much rep is needed in order to start the quest?
LimitTime: How much time do you have to complete the quest before it is failed?
PrevQuestID: Put the ID of the previous quest you need to complete in order to receive this one
NextQuestId: The Id you put of the next quest you get after you complete this quest.
SrcItem: The item you get upon accepting the quest
SrcItemCount: The amount of the item you get upon accepting the quest.
Title: The Title of the Quest
Details: What information will you give the player?, Etc a description
Objective: Comes up under quest text, It's basically summarizing the quest for the player.
Completion Text - What the NPC says to the player when the CompleteQuest button is clickable
Incomplete Text - Basically when you right click the npc when your not done the quest, He says this, For Example if your quest is to collect dust, your incomplete text can be - Have you collected the dust yet?
EndText - What comes up above your objectives while your doing the quest?
ObjectiveText - 1-4, This is basically the objectives, for example dust, it can be Dust Collected for objective one and you leave the other objectives blank, but you cannot leave them blank so you must go into the box and click backspace in order to have no objective.
ReqItemID 1-4, The Required Item in order to complete the quest, Put the ID in this one.
ReqItemCount 1-4 , The amount of the item that is needed, Must correspond with the ID. So if you put the ID in reqItemID 1, You must put the count in Reqitemcount 1.
ReqKillmoborGoID 1-4- This is basically coressponding with the objectives, say your objective one was to slay robots, you would put ReqkillormobgoID1 as the Robots ID.
ReqKillMoborGoCount 1-4 - This corresponds with the objectives and the ID, if you put the objective one as kill robots, and the ID as the robots in the ReqkillormobgoID1, then you would put how many robots to kill in ReqkillmoborgoCount1.
ReqCastSpellID 1- 4, What spells do you need to cast in order to complete th e quest?
RewItemChoiceID 1-6, This is basically, if you have more than 2 items you put it as a choice, so as number 1 you put an id, as number 2 you put a different id, the items id of course. So if you filled up all 6, Your player would get to choose between 6 different items
RewItemChoiceCount 1-6, How many of that item does the player receive?
RewItemID 1-4, This is the item he WILL receive no matter what upon completion of the quest, put the ID of the item in these boxes
RewItemCount 1-4, How many of that particular item will the player receive?
RewRepFaction 1-6, This is where you put the ID of the reputation you receive, I stated above how to find reputation IDs
RewRepValue 1-6, How much reputation of that area will the player receive?
Let me give you an example
If you put 1637 as the RewRepFaction number 1,
and you put 10000 as RewRepValue then upon completion of the quest, the player will receive 10,000 reputation with orgrimmar.
RewRepLimit: Keep this blank, as all of blizzards quests have that too
RewMoney - How much money will the player receive upon complete of the quest
Note: 900000 is 90g ETC...
RewXP - How much EXP will the player receive upon completeion of the quest
RewSpell - What spell does the player receive upon completion of the quest, for example the paladins quest line in retail, you receive Redemption
PointMapID - I really don't know how these work xD
Point X - I really don't know how these work xD
Point Y - I really don't know how these work xD
PointOpt - I really don't know how these work xD
RewardMoneyAtMaxLevel - If a person who is level 80 does this quest ... How much gold will they receive, Note: RewMoney, Is for anyon from 70-79, However, If the level 70-79 person receives 90g, You can make the RewMoneyatMaxLevel be like 100g. Or you can leave it blank and just make everyone receive the same amount of money.
ExploreTrigger 1-4, The places you must have explored before you are able to complete/accept the quest.
ReqOneofQuest - Leave that 0
ReqQuest 1-4, Which quests must you have completed before you can complete this quest?
ReceiveItemID 1-4, Same thing as way above, the Item that the player will receive
ReceiveItemCount 1-4, The amount of the item the player will receive.
IsRepetable - 0, Not Repetable, 1 Repetable, 2 Daily
BonusHonor: How much honor does the player receive upon completion?
RewardTitleID - The Id of the title you receive upon completeion of the quest.
RewardTalents - How many talents do you receive upon completeion of the quest?
Suggested Players - How many players are needed/Suggested to complete the quest
DetailEmoteCount: No clue what this is either
DetailEmote 1-4, Don't really know what this is ^^
I usually just skip all the emote things ^^

Moving on,
So, Now you want your quest giver to have the quest
BEFORE GOING INTO CREATURE_FINISHER/STARTER YOU MUST MAKE SURE YOUR NPC HAS THE FLAGS OF "2" Which is Quests
Okay, Lets put this baby into use.
Open up Creature_Quest_Starter - And put in the ID of the NPC in the first box, and the ID of the quest in the second box
Now lets Open up Creature_quest_Finisher - Same thing, ID of the NPC you want the person to go to, if this is a deliver quest, or if you want the person to come back to the same npc put the same id as you did in starter, and once again put the questid in the quest box.
This is all .. I guess ... Hope you liked it

[foamysquirl]

Nice, I suggest a font easier to read, however! +Rep

Edit: I also think you should find out about the things you "dont know about" to form a more completed guide.
