If You Were an NPC...

What would you be, what quest would you offer, and what rewards would you give?

I think I'd enjoy looking and acting friendly, but secretly my quest has malicious intent underneath, just for the lulz. Like that guy at the Raven Hill Cemetery who seems like a harmless old man until you learn you were helping him build monsters or something (well really, with a man who lives that close to zombies and seems unperturbed, I wasn't surprised, but apparently my character was shocked).

It'd probably be something like "oh, could you retrieve my family heirloom from X location, as I really, really miss it and it is super dangerous there." Then it turns out that really, it was just warded so I couldn't get in, and needed some poor noob to go get it for me. Then I will use it to WREAK HAVOC. Wahahaha.

You guys?

I'd be a gnomish dark ranger selling explosives. If I had a quest, it would probably be to get materials for more explosives. The reward? EXPLOSIVES!

What?

Hahahahahahah I think everyone wants to be that quest giver. When they drew straws, everyone that didn't get a quest like that got upset. ;)

Hmm... How about a beast mending quest? Kind of like the druid abolish poison quest where you have to toss a detoxer on a bunch of sick deer in Darkshore/Barrens... A quest where my NPC had discovered that something made beasts sick (and perhaps mad?) and the players had to get rid of the source of corruption and then somehow mend the beasts - perhaps feeding them or something. A temp mend pet to use? Bandaging? Something like that.

I think my reward would have to be a minipet. xD

If I were a quest giver, I'd ask for them to fetch some special herbs, and on handing in, they would get a satchel of "special powder". xD

Just kidding!

I'd probably have a quest to go catch a fox with the special [canine collar], and in return they would receive a fox mini-pet.

I would have one where you have to kill 15 foxes and get a weapon the Foxslayer. And a fox fur neck slot.

I think I'd have to make a crocolisk surfing quest...perhaps one that involved hunting gnomes and feeding them to baby Devilsaurs. ;D

"C'mere. Take this throwing weapon and go kill a dragon, using only the throwing weapon."

Upon completion of quest---

"I dont have any rewards, but your rep just got better!"

Is that perhaps a Nyhm quote? :P

And Veph, you won't catch a gnome that easily. We're far too small to just snatch. We slink, dammit!

I would love to be one of those Oracle creatures if I was an npc. It seems the "Feed Me" quest would be best offered even though the Oracles eat bugs all the time and in exchange for a companion pet like me as a quest reward. I know there are already gifts for those companion pets, but I wish it would be all year round.

Hmm, I'd want to be one of the druid type npcs, Cenarion maybe? As a side note, I always get a kick out of the forsaken. They're just so intent on poisons and deceit.

I would be something akin to Captain Sanders...

You would find him standing in a random spot, wearing no pants. The quest would be to find his pants.

After you turn in the quest, he would not wear the pants.

;)

I'd be a big old fire breathing dragon bent on destroying the world. My quest? To best me in a game of Skelzie. (Or Skully as it seems to be called also http://www.streetplay.com/skully/board.shtml )

I'd probably be a fem tauren druid in league with Cenarion Circle/Expedition.

My quest would probably be to cleanse some water or somethin that was driving poor moonkin beasts mad. Either that, or to collect mushrooms or some sort of food for them. :3

Quest reward? Wild moonkin disguise! hoot hoot!

edit: @Veph and Ryno- I lol'd :lol:

I would be a gnome engineer in some Neutral Zone who would be available to characters after a very rare quest drop involving an item called "Mysterious Design Plans". When turned in I would inform the players that the design seem to be of a mount and if they turn in some parts only crafted by blacksmiths and engineers along with other low drop rate materials I'll build the base of the mount for them.

If they accept and when they return with the items, based on whether the character is Alliance or Horde I would tell them that the plans are for a horse, if characater is Alliance, or wolf, for Horde, and that the designs were made probably made by a goblin thinking of someway to make money. After that tid bit I'd then say that the last item needed to get the mount working would be some part thats in pieces that they can find in lying in some dungeons.

Of course if they accept and bring me that they'll be rewarded with the Iron Horse or Iron Wolf mount!

But that's not all folks!

After turning getting the first mount I'll send the person a letter telling them two things: 1) that there other mount plans out there-though they would be of the very rare drop type like the first plan- and 2) there plans that leather workers can learn to make covers for these mounts. Covers that will give them skins from retired mounts!

But since they're mechanical reproductions of the retired mounts their eyes would glow.

This is just my nutty way of trying to get retired mounts back in the game while also allowing getting mounts of the other faction after the first turn in.

I change my mind.

My quest: Kill and skin 15 gnomes.

Rewards: Gnome Armour, and some big boots called the gnome-punters.

Yes, I really did just say that. >:D

Hmm.. I'd love to be a druid NPC.. perhaps even a troll druid NPC...yes..that would be nice...

I'd give a quest to calm(force feed sword)some raging elementals or elemental spirits that were raising hell in the barrens..yup..that would be fun.
