How to stop (learning along the way)

[sxymxd84]

How do you get an npc to stop allowing you to pick up the same quest instantly after you accept/complete it? I don't want the person to never be able to pick it up again, but at the same time, if I dont want it to appear again during the 4 hours the instance is open, how to disable that? thanks for input, learning along the way.

Although I have my own fix in place for this, I would still like to know the answer ^^ I hate looking at that ugly yellow quest tag after its accepted.

You could make the quest a daily quest, not sure if that helps you any or not.

If it is intended for use within a instance, i.e you can only take the quest within a instance once (which i am guessing as you said 4 hours of the instance being open) look at the drunken poet quests (the once to activate the trigger to clear instance mobs). You could also look at the Iron Blood tablet quests found in FBs.

Keep in mind that you may wish to sort out an actual timer of sorts if the quest gives decent rewards, otherwise players can simply repeat the quest via a instance reset.

I intend for them to be able to do the quest again upon instance reset, just not more than once per instance. Soon as they grab the quest thats it i want that quest to stop showing up on the npc. ^^ thx for info so far. I feel like I'm a little closer to getting this.

Ill play around with it for a bit, After all this isnt my top priority, but eventually ill want to fix it.

Try this,

- Have a quest which auto-activates after you accept that quest and cannot be given up, this quest has a timer of say 30 minutes? (Easy enough to do a run every 30 minutes).
- The quest you gain in the instance cannot be activated whilst this quest is active.

Unless there is other ways thats an alternative that I can think of.

Or put a creature builder de-activate on rewards of the quest and attach the creature builder to the NPC on npcgen and make it disappear after the quest.

I totally forgot to update this days ago ^^ I used the creature deactivater in rewards ^^ ty for replying.
