non faction quest ideas

i wrote a responce in the nuterd wolves thread and i think it needs a thread of its own so here is a thread for us all to post non faction quest ideas and sutch

how abot adding some inside areas to the ruins next to the archeologist camp? this area has loads of potential a non faction quest giver can be placed in the camp house giving a quest and key to enter the tower in the ruins or the temple thing either will work. you can make it a 10ish level quest with the higer end being 15 or so level ( maybe a requirment of the questgiver only levels 10 to 15 can get the quest? ) have a nifty rewaed or a selection of random same level rewards whatever.

as for inside the ruins how about a trap ridden zone ( something for the rogues to do) and as for monsters maybe some lower level golems or the like and BEHOLDERS a non used monster on the server as far as i know. ithalids (mind flayers) would also be a nice new creature to fight.

and last but not least how about some riddles or puzzles to solve in order to complete the quest everything here seems so straight forward kill kill kill wheres the brains get used? maybe a INT minimum to complete some puzzles ( giving mages somethin to do other than nuke and run for their life )

I like the idea. The archaeologist camp doesn't have to be the limit either. There are plenty areas where this could be done, and serve a useful purpose. granted, those are more conversations and more scripts, but general player immersion would be a good result.

the reason i said limited is that it as one of the staff said its a route for lower level toons to get to ave limiting it to a 10+ lvl quest means they wont accidentaly get into a area way stronger than they should be in. wether the staff cares about that or not i dont know but it would also prevent any powerleveling as lower levels wont be able to go in.

It would be cool if the quests involved gaining keys to lower and lower ruins of increasing difficulty, such as:

First level: CR 12-15 mobs (Golems, Elementals, some ghosts)
Second Level: CR 16-20 mobs (Lesser Illithid, Beholders, Golems)
Third Level: CR 21-25 mobs (Illithid, Greater Beholders, Golems)
Fourth Level: CR 26-30 mobs (Ubber demons, Bone Dragons, Demilich).

Sort of like the tower on south road? With an eventual portal to the planes.
It starts in the 9-10s and finishes with a group with a cr 20 balor.

geez, everyone wants Illithid and Beholders. Personally i'd prefer to wait for cities of these guys as a super uber enemy. Illithid supposedly once ruled a 'planes spanning empire' and beholders are supposed to have 'more magic in every eye stalk than a powerful wizard' (i was kind of disappointed in the HotU beholders when i got to them tbh. the Illithid were fun though).
Good things come to those who wait.

You'll have to read the description of the planar vendor...

South Tower is weak on the stuff past about CR 15.

I haven't seen the boss in a long time because the fire plane is very popular.
