Level of quest. Player receives full experience amount only if their level is less than or equal to Level+5. If Level is set to -1, the player's level will be used as (Quest)Level for the experience calculation.

MinLevel

Minimum level at which a player can get the quest.

MaxLevel

Maximum level at which a player can get the quest.

QuestSortID

This field defines under what category the quest falls in the quest log.

This field is a bitmask, you can combine class values. See ChrClasses.dbc

AllowableRaces

Races allowed to get the quest. 0 means the quest is accessible for all races. Field value is a decimal value which must transform to an 8 bits binary in order to be understandable. In binary form, each different bit represents a different race. They're assigned as follows :

Race

These values are 2^ID taken from ChrRaces.dbc

Examples:

0,1791 = All Races

690 (2 + 16 + 32 + 128 + 512) = Horde Quest

1101 (1 + 4 + 8 + 64 + 1024) = Alliance Quest

PrevQuestId

if value > 0: Contains the previous quest id, that must be completed before this quest can be started.

If value < 0: Contains the parent quest id, that must be active before this quest can be started.

See the examples section for examples.

NextQuestId

If value > 0: Contains the next quest id, if PrevQuestId of that quest is not sufficient.

If value < 0: Contains the sub quest id, if PrevQuestId of that quest is not sufficient. If quest have many alternative next quests (class specific quests lead from single not class specific quest) field PrevQuestId in next quests can used for setting this dependence.

See the examples section for examples.

ExclusiveGroup

if ExclusiveGroup > 0

Allows to define a group of quests of which only one may be chosen and completed. E.g. if from quests 1200, 1201 and 1202 only one should be allowed to be chosen, insert 1200 into ExclusiveGroup of all 3 quests.

if ExclusiveGroup < 0

Allows to define a group of quests of which all must be completed and rewarded to start next quest. E.g. if quest 1000 dependent from one of quests 1200, 1201 and 1202 and all this quests have same negative exclusive group then all this quest must be completed and rewarded before quest 1000 can be started.

Note: All quests that use an ExclusiveGroup must also have entries in pool_template and pool_quest in order for the core to choose one randomly. See the examples section for examples.

RewardNextQuest

(Old field name: NextQuestIdChain)

The quest entry from a creature or gameobject that ends a quest and starts a new one. The result is, that if you end the quest, the new quest instantly appears from the quest giver.

See the examples section for examples.

RewardXPDifficulty

According to the Level, the basic experience with index RewardXPDifficulty is taken from QuestXP.dbc.

This field also controls the XP given as the XP is calculated from the value in this field by the following formula. If the quest is repeatable, XP will be given only once. The total XP that a character will receive is also affected by the level difference between the character's level and the quest's level.

The formula for calculating XP from the value in this field:
QuestLevel >= 65: XP = RewMoneyMaxLevel / 6.0
QuestLevel h1. 64: XP = RewMoneyMaxLevel / 4.8
QuestLevel 63: XP = RewMoneyMaxLevel / 3.6
QuestLevel h1. 62: XP = RewMoneyMaxLevel / 2.4
QuestLevel 61: XP = RewMoneyMaxLevel / 1.2
QuestLevel <= 60: XP = RewMoneyMaxLevel / 0.6

RewardMoney

Money earned by completing the quest (if value > 0) or money requirement to complete the quest (if value < 0) .

RewardBonusMoney

The money a character at level 80 would get when they complete this quest.

RewardSpell

Spell that is shown to be casted on quest completion in the quest log. Note that this spell will NOT be casted if RewardSpellCast is non-zero. The spell in the other field will be casted instead, in which case the spell here only serves as the visual in the quest log.

NOTE: This field comes straight from the WDB and should not be changed.

RewardSpellCast

Spell that will always be casted at player when completing the quest. This can be learn spell and player learned some spell in result, or buff spell, for example. If this field is non-zero then this spell will ALWAYS be casted and the spell in RewardSpell will not.

NOTE: This field comes straight from the WDB and should not be changed.

RewardMailTemplateId

If the quest gives as a reward an item from a possible list of items, the ID here corresponds to the proper loot template in quest_mail_loot_template. According to the rules in that loot template, items "looted" will be sent by mail at the completion of the quest.

RewardMailDelay

How many seconds to wait until the mail is sent to the character that turned in a quest rewarding items from a loot template defined in RewardMailTemplateId

RewardHonor

Number of honorable kill honor rewarded for completing this quest.

Example: An example value is 15 for quest 8388: At level 80 an honorable kill is 124 honor worth. Multiply this with 15 and you receive 1860, after the multiplication the value is rounded up. So the honor rewarded at level 80 is 1860 for this quest.

RewardHonorMultiplier

Multiplies RewardHonor, so if value is 2, it will give double.

WARNING: If this field is 1 and RewardHonor is 0, the quest will reward default honor kill value (124 honor at level 80)

StartItem

Items given by the quest giver at beginning of the quest. Items will be deleted when quest is abandoned.

SourceSpellId

Spell cast on player when quest is started. Can be a buff or a learning spell.

Flags

This flag field defines more specifically the type of quest it is. Aside from the daily flag and sharable flag, this field is used just for grouping purposes and NOT for any other quest requirements. The quest requirements are calculated from non-zero values in other quest template fields. Also, while some of these flags are known, others have yet an unknown purpose and the comments below is simply guesswork on them.

Like all flag based fields, QuestFlags can be added for the different types of quest.

Note that some flags may not be supported by core.

SpecialFlags

This field is a bitmask and is for controlling server side quest functions. This data blizz keeps serverside, and is not sent to the client, so we have to populate the field manually.

• 0: No extra requirements

• 1: Makes the quest repeatable.
• 2: Makes the quest only completable by some external event (an entry in areatrigger_involvedrelation, spell effect quest complete or an entry in spell_scripts with command 7 as some examples)
• 4: Make quest auto-accept. As of patch 3.3.5a only quests in the starter area need this flag.

• 8: Only used for Dungeon Finder quests
• 16: Makes the quest monthly
• 32: The quest requires RequiredOrNpcGo killcredit but NOT kill (a spell cast)

RewardFactionValueId

This field is used for reputation lookup in QuestFactionReward.dbc if RewardFactionValueId is 0. Value X in this field indicates RepX column of QuestFactionReward.dbc. If RewardRepValueId is positive, reputation from the first row of QuestFactionReward.dbc will be used, for negative values the second row is used.

RewardFactionValueIdOverride

This field is used to give reputation values not present in QuestFactionReward.dbc or to override them if RewardRepValueId is wrong for some reason. The value in this field is 100× the intended reputation reward (if you want to give 400 rep, put 40000 in RewardFactionValueIdOverride).

Impossible - many quests may unlock many

Player can choose between two alternative chains (Chain A or B, but not both chains). A2 or B2 should unlock C, D and E when complete. When all three complete, F should be unlocked. If player get A3 or B3 after complete F, depends on if chain A or B was chosen

Note:

If player can choose between chain A or B may be determined by faction status (aldor or scryer), using ReqMinRepFaction = 1. Player should not be able to be neutral+1 with both at the same time. This may be the common threshold to obtain aldor or scryer quests (this is unsure). If that is the case, only the unlock of C, D and E after complete A2 or B2 is the impossible part._Note 2: With the Conditions table now every quest chain is possible.''
