What are the must have access and signature line quests for DoF? Questlines that we will likely need for the DoF hunters?
I don't think there are access quests you will have to have for DoF Hunters, since Poet's doesn't have an access quest anymore. That would be the only one, but someone who has done DoF Hunters more recently than I have might be able to say differently. There is a butt ton of content though outside of the stuff you'll need to do for Hunter's which won't happen for several weeks.
as suggested by coquine, leader of our guild, the quest from lady naga will surely be essential for hunters. A tp such as that of paw to chain these famous hunters without loss of time, will be most judicious. https://eq2.fandom.com/wiki/Lady_Naga
Cave of Knowledge was a hunter's target on the last TLE, and it requires an access quest with the Pillars of Flame monks (Ashen Order/Disciples)
This should answer the question once and for all. It looks like Poets is this expansion's Nek 2 for Hunters. https://eq2.fandom.com/wiki/Hunting_Dangerous_Prey_(Deserts_of_Flame)
Poets doesn't require any access quest. Just do the mirror quest inside the dungeon. The Cave of Knowledge : is the Hunter's target that requires an access quest to be completed.
I was comparing Poets to Nek 2 in that you have to have at least the first mirror and do the statue room to be able to spawn the target of Aysor, if it comes up in your hunter quest. My comparison mostly focuses on the 'pain in the rear' nature of it.
