"Secret" Quests

[castor4878]

Secret or hidden quests start with the drops of a specific quest item from a mob (Poema Mandolin from Julia Dillun and so on).

That item is the "QuestItem" field of the mob (the field stores the value 1000 + TypeID of item chosen in set 28).
But where the drop rate of that item is defined ??

Could be hardcoded into an exe

I am not sure what you are asking, but if a mob drops that item, the drop rate should be defined in the PS_Gamedefs.dbo.MobItems table.

What is the IDs of that item?

I'm asking: does a field (present somewhere) defines the drop rate of the optional quest item present in column "QuestItemID" of the dbo.Mobs table ?

not sure what is "that" but for the Mandolin (Item 28-49), the "QuestItemID" column of the mob 2299 ("Julia Dillun") contains 1049. and (again) the question is related to that drop, not to the 9 listed in dbo.MobItems.

The drop rate might be hard coded as zargon said, all quest item might all be defined at a predetermined drop rate, not too sure on this. Interesting though, it would be useful to know.

Awaken

yep, that's an idea.
and it's a begin of explanation to the fact that some servers (a few of them, but I've done all dread quests on at least 12 p-svrs) have better drop rates than other.

[zargon05]

If you put the Quest items in Mobdrops table then where is that check which ensures that the required condition is met before the item should be dropped for a particular players?

type 27 and 28 are the item quest.. and the "Quality" is the rate drop for this itens.. if u put (item 28 49) the quality 5.. to 100, julia will drop allways the item..
