Maybe a quest where you need to collect a non droppable item from boss of every planar zone in order to get a nice weapon of your choice. Would at least alow every type of weapon to be a viable option.

I like the idea of adding another job tier for faction specific prestige classes. Perhaps only make these jobs available to characters that only have 10 or more levels in thier faction specific class.

ie...

AO - Red Dragon Disciple Job (assuming they get the rest of the jobs fixed first),
Seek out a specific item from one or more of the existing "friendly" dragons. Or defeat the Fire Boss for a special bonus to your fire breath damage.

TC - Shifter Job, Clear up the abominations that exist in HoD including the Lich King himself.

MA - Palemaster Job, Solve the riddle in HoK and defeat the bosses within.

RK - Dwarven Defender Job, Destroy the force behind Ragnars betrayal.

NC - Champion of Torm Job, Defeat the Shadow Lord and his minions in his own domain.

SL - Assassin Job, Destroy the Elder Brain that has infested portions of the underdark.

These are just some ideas to get things started. Perhaps if these were tiered jobs they would have to travel to multiple opposed planes to finish the "epic jobs". RK could start by defeating Ragnar and move up to more challenging areas like Demon Web Pits etc... I think this would force players to try other epic areas and diversify the factions even more since we would see more faction specific PRCs in play.

I never saw the end of one of the quests on my last server.. but many of us were obsessed with completing it. The quest itself wasn't finished yet, but what was there was pretty neat. There were boss dragons spread out throughout the land, some very well hidden, some not as much. Each had a different colored gem in it's loot when it died.. that wasn't the complex part. The complex part was there were little shrines all over the land spread out, and each had a different light, almost seeming to correspond to the gems, also.. there were some other places that led us to believe they might be connected as well.

As I said.. no one ever completed it before the server was discontinued.. but we loved that quest.. probably due to the fact we never completed it more than anything.. I know the mystery would be ruined once one group did it.. wish there was a way to somehow randomize a few parts of quests so that it was always a bit different just to throw an iron in the metagamers spokes and keep it interesting for those that want a little more of the unknown.

goto HoK

What's HoK?

House of Knowledge... a plane of puzzles and riddles. Technically there's only 3 puzzles/riddles (the orb one took forever to get "right").

When I made the puzzles I had replay value in mind. There's plenty of randomness involved so that even if you figure out *how* to solve something, there's still some steps or even difficulty involved. Ask people about the maze Maybe Lokey should put some archers in that map.

Here's an idea for you, open all the doors in an arae to be openable, behind one a horde of angry dwarfs controlled by a dm to attack the party behind the other lets say a plus 4 book or epic item worthy of the danger involved ? Who here doesn't like to open a door now and then hmmmm ?

The Sandman of PWnD

DM event prize could be to add a +1 or 5 elem reduction or or... to an existing item. Add a +1 to that boring old +3 ritualists helm. DMs would probably have to custom craft these, no-drop like guild tagged items.

Would be a highly desirable prize which should be very costly errr... risky.
