[GUIDE]:Making custom quests

[Kazard123]

Part One: Connecting to your Database
1) Open & Connect your Database Editor

2) Under the Ascent Database, find the Table 'quests'

3) Click 'Add Record" (On HeidiSQL, its a +)

Part Two: Creating the Quest

Entry: Have it a high ID. Something that is not used and you will remember. This is just for the Quest_starter and Quest_Finisher at the end. Also if you want to make Chain Quests.

ZoneID: Just what Zone the Quest is set as (Doesn't affect the Quest) Some Zone ID's are:
CODE
blank = 5
aldrassil = 256
azshara = 16
azshara crater = 268
blasted lands = 4
duskwood = 10
echo ridge mine = 34
Elwynn forest = 12
kul tiras = 21
longshore = 2
moonbrook = 20
refuge pointe = 320
reuse me 6 = 66
stranglethorn vale = 33
swamp of sorrows = 8
the cemetery = 32
the dark portal = 72
the maclure vineyards = 64
the world tree = 13
westfall = 49
ziata'jal ruins = 128


Sort: Just put the same Number you put in ZoneID. Doesn't affect Quest.

Flags: Not sure what this does. I put either 0 or 8 (I think its whether the Account has TBC or not)

MinLevel: The minimal Level a Player has to be to pickup the Quest.

QuestLevel: The Level of the Quest. Not the maximum Level a person can be, the Level the Quest is for (If it is 3, then to a Level 1 it will be yellow, and for a 60 it will be gray)

Type: Pretty simple, the Types are:
CODE
0/blank - Soloable
1 - Group
41 - PvP
62 - Raid
81 - Dungeon


Required Races: Races that are able to pickup the Quest. The Race ID's are as followed:
CODE
1 = human
2 = orc
4 = dwarf
8 = night elf
16 = undead
32 = tauren
64 = gnome
128 = troll
512 = bloodelf
1024 = dranei
690 = all horde races
1101 = all alliance races

If you want two Races together to both be able to pick the Quest up (e.x. - Only Tauren and Undead are aloud to take the Quest), then just add the two wanted Faction ID's together (e.x. - For Tauren and Undead, it would be 32 + 16 = 4

Required Classes to Required Repvalue: Don't touch these. Not sure if they work correctly.

Limit Time: If you want a Limit Time to be set for the Quest (e.x. - Kill so-and-so in 30 minutes) then put the time in as Milliseconds.

SpecialFlags: Not sure what this does. Doesn't affect Quest. Leave at 0 if unsure.

PrevQuestID: If its the second in a Chain Quest, put the Quest ID of the first Quest here.

NextQuestID: If its the first in a Chain Quest, put the Quest ID of the second Quest here.

ReqKillMoborGoID1-4: How many of the Mobs you have to Kill in order to finish the Quest successfully.
