What's your favorite quest?

I personally love the MOX questline, although Battle at LA and the bee quest in pre searing comes pretty darn close lol.

I tend to enjoy ones where you fight off a horde of monsters. This is probably because they are usually harder than other quests. Such examples include:

-Battle for Turai's Procession
-Protect the Learned
-Breaking the Broken
-The Troubled Keeper
-BLA (possibly, I've never played it)

Lol bees quest wins.
In reality it's been so long ago that I've last done any quest that I can't really recall what I loved most.

An old quest i liked before Factions release is Reversing the skale where yuou must kill Lord Timot....i was pretty hard, since Lord Timot is lvl 20 in Scoundrel's Rise.

Favourite quest is The 4 Horsemen...if it counts :P

Prophecies - The titan quests....it got me all nostalgic as I've been vanquishing Tyria on my ranger and forgot that I still had all the quests active. Last day dawns was a lot of fun while vanquishing Eastern Frontier, and North Kryta Province is superb when you have defend LA and the war in kryta active.

Factions - there are two quests, one in Kaineng where you have to help a little girl who is trying to pay her father's debt, and the other is an event quest where some unlucky guy tells a girl he likes her and she nicks his money....it always makes me chuckle when the guys say in the quest reward text that they are now broke, penniless, bankrupt....and then they give you gold as part of the reward.

Nightfall - Koss' elixir....the arrival of Slort Nilbog.....don't do drugs, kids.

I like big battles and NPC allies so although it's a mission not a quest, I never get tired of Consulate Docks.

Battle for Lion's Arch is pretty epic indeed. My favourites from the quests that were part of the pre-WiK game were along the same sort of lines: Undead Hordes, Siege at Tsumei Village, Assault on Beknur Harbor, In Defense of the Eye etc.

I also like quests such as the Bog Beast of Bokku, where you just happen to hear some dialogue as you're in the area and then a quest pops up.

Most memorable quest for me I think was Voices in the Night. Nightfall was just released, wiki hadn't been completed, and it was just like being new to the game again. Working out what/where to click to free those damn voices took ages first time round!

Galrath, simply because of the memories it holds. I nearly did it when it was 500XP but error 7'd just before him. The next day there was the patch to make it 4000XP so only being level 17 at the time it was a great boost.

Plus, back in those days, getting there just felt.. epic.

That's true, I think it might have to be my favourite quest.

Before factions came out, you'd get to LA and go WOW 4K XP gogo!

Humour-wise, Drakes on a Plain was pretty funny. The Asura that needs bigger ears to get a date was cute. Or, the presearing quest where Rurik sends Osric (who then sends you) to find Althea's birthday present, and you can just rat Rurik out to Althea. GW2 needs more humourous stuff like that.

How do you pick just one? OK, my most recent "best quest ever" is Battle for Lion's Arch. It was a wonderful climax to a great quest chain.

for me its always been about 'the captured son'. i remember getting rolled in that quest so many times when factions first came out. and then when you finally beat all those mothers it felt awesome...

The ones that are just more than go there, kill that, bring that.

Many in Sorrow's Furnace are not just that.
You can go undercover, you have to split in teams to do different things. You can just rush and go in a Killroy spree...

It's not a quest, but Augury Rock mission was my favorite back in the day. It fed that Ocarina of Time nostalgia.

Althea's ashes. I did it with a low-level pug back in the days when the ashes were farmed by high level players to make money. I always felt that such quest-item trading ruins the story, the quest and doesnt provide any satisfaction, so it felt good to do this as it was meant to be done. Also, my male mesmer had a crush on Althea...

I liked sorrow's furnace. The 4 preliminary quests were crazy hard at the time, and the final mission took my pug hours and was almost a complete failure. Course, I went back and h/h it in like an hour, which kind of ruins the nostalgia, but at the time it was just brutal.

I wracked my brain for a good minute or two, and I honestly just kept coming back to Pre-Searing profession quests. Learning how to actually use skills and having the most gorgeous scenery as your backdrop really brings me back.

Then there is the Wayward Wizard, running past all the bears and completing the quest by finding Orion, only to let the bears gank him and kill him. I'm bad.

A lot of the Old Ascalon quests also make me nostalgia-sigh, I can't pick one.

Surprised I haven't heard The Last Hog. I love running that little piggy around, he's funny.

Ok, really this is the kind of quests I like mosts. The ones with a deep story behind or humorous scenes. So much for the fighting, if I want a challenging fight there's other places, but quests must be full of stories, personally.

Sorrow's Furnace for sure.

I used to do that so often when I only recently started. It's also where I realised that Heal Area also heals enemies , learned about aggroing properly, pulling, etc...

I still go back there every so often with just 3 heros to keep it at least somewhat as 'difficult' as it used to be all those years ago.

I love the whole Halcyon quest chain, simply because of all the Firefly details.
I love the bees one too, and the Last Hog. Also, the Red Frog. Tracking panda ftw!
I love the one where you get a devourer egg for Old Mac in pre, because Joe is one of my favorite things ever. (*click click*)!!!
I really like "Hog Hunt", and the Impressive Warthog named Pork Chop! *squees*
Scholarly Affairs is adorable. You get to help a hopeless geek win over his lady love! <3
Herds To The Slaughter. One word: COWS!!!
I loved the synergy between "Free the Fur" and "The Yeti Hunt". Silly silly Sujun.


Many of my favorite quests are those that involve little to no killing or whose premise is silly or absurd. For example:
The one where you have to feed Joe makes me all smiley inside.
So does "Flamingo-ing... going... gone."
Garden Chores is also awesome. I love quests which involve more than just mindless killing. Leaf-bag-carrying FTW!
Deliver A Message To My Wife is also cute, since the poor guy has no idea his wife is (presumably) cheating on him.
The Great Norn Alemoot is enormously fun; that goes without saying. Especially if you leave post-processing effects on.

I LOVE the "Goren's Stuff" quests.
Goren: "I am worried about Nightfall. I don't want the world to get destroyed. It's where I keep all my stuff. Maybe I could bash some things and keep my stuff safe."
Shiny: "Gorrrrrren is my mommmmmmy. I'm hungry! Feed me, Goren!"
Goren: "It just called me mommy. I'm a mommy?"

Goren is just too cute. <3


"All's Well That Ends Well" is hilarious.
Freya the Firm: "Like, roarrrrrr!"
Vaughn the Venerable: "Have at ye, scoundrel!"
Freya the Firm: "Like, ouch."

I have to admit, when I did Oswalt's Epitaph, I actually did cry the first time. Just the initial quest dialog was enough to open the floodgates.

The dialog from "Prenuptial Disagreement" was hilarious. And slightly disturbing. (http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Talk...agreement#Ouch...)

I still have the teddy bear from "Little Lost Bear". And the mirrors from the "Luxury Goods" quest, given by that moron Chitaro.

As for names, Minions Gone Wild makes me crack up. Also "More Cowbell", "Return of the Yeti", "Material Girl", "Need More Stuff" (a personal favorite!), "Identity Theft", "What Do You Do With A Drunken Shauben?", "Dismember the Titans", "The Smell of Titan in the Morning", and "Single Ugly Grawl Seeks Same for Mindless Destruction in Ascalon".

And finally, though it is a mission not a quest, I love Tihark Orchard. It is just so silly and fun. Yay drinking contests!

Sorry for the long list, I'm a huge fan of the quests in GW. I go out of my way to do every single one, and they give me great enjoyment.

The one where you have to team up with a pug to go outside and get a rez signet. Hardest quest in the world of guild wars, for sure.
