Global Quests

From LensWiki

Usually, these imm-run quests are to either kill as many mobs of a particular type as possible or to collect as many of a particular object. Occasionally there are special quests run with different instructions given when the quest is announced.

Global quests use the following commands:

QUEST JOIN - Joins the global quest, so you can score.

QUEST SCORE - Scores items for collect quests (Kill quests are automatically scored when the target is killed).

There is no penalty for rejecting.

This is not to be confused with the large scale globals.

Some "global quests" do not require you to join and fall out of the usual kill/collect scenario. Some examples include wearing objects or using a verb command (e.g. catch snowflakes, beat a dead horse). These are special quests that are made clear when announced. These do not appear in quest information or show when you log in after the quest has been announced.

Questing Tips

Some players are much better at these quests and are able to score many quest points in just one quest. These are some tips on how to do well on these quests. It is true that higher level players have some advantages in having access to some of these tips due to level requirements for some beneficial spells but if you follow these to the best of your character's level appropriate ability, you can still do very well and make it worthwhile to join a global quest.

• Know the layout of areas very well. Explore areas or spend time questing/group questing in them to get to know them well. When you know the layout and room titles, it is much easier to run through them quickly to find objects or scouted mobs.
• Know how to get between areas quickly. Whether it's knowing how areas are connected, wilderness shortcuts, or use of spells like gate and major gate, this can be just as important as knowing the layout of the area itself in order to allow you to get through the most areas in the least amount of time.
• Use scout on scoutable quest mobs. This will give you the room title and allow you to get to them more quickly
• Use speed. This spell will allow you to move through rooms faster.
• Make sure to use detect spells (e.g. detect hidden, detect invis, true sight). You could miss hidden or invisible rooms where quest objects or mobs could be.
• Use an alias. For instance, "alias g get questobjectname; quest score" will allow you to only have to type "g" to pick up the quest object and score it with minimal typing. Alternatively, if you are not familiar with aliases or know how to make one, you could simply write this out, copy it, and paste it as necessary.
