Old content required for new content

Can we please get a account flag for old content done on toons that we no longer actively play in current content due to nerfs? This having to go back and do old content for a new xpack is silly. I have been on a different class darn near every xpack for the last 5 years and I am sure I am not the only one. I have done most of the content from launch to current on 2 characters for sure but not the swap to this class for 1 xpack and then another class for next xpack. The constantly having to go back to old non relevant content for new content is tedious and just down right unnecessary when we could have a account flag. Or you could stop requiring old content for brand new xpacks.

Can you be a bit more specific about which content you are referring to?

Blood of the Brood atm https://eq2.fandom.com/wiki/Of_Duty_and_Fate:_Lineage_of_the_Felfeathers_(Quest)

This is for a heritage quest. Heritage quests most commonly are tied to stories and quests from past expansions or from EverQuest I. We can look at adding some sort of account flag for it but I don't think its currently setup that way. If we did add an account flag, it is likely you may have to do it again to get the new flag.

I really think it is something you guys should seriously look at doing as there are tons of us that have been here since launch and did these quests but no longer play those toons due to the changes to classes. I started on a brig and have been on a different healer each xpack for at least the last 5 yrs due to the changes with classes and they aren't the golden class of the game any more for raids. It is rather nerve wracking.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ----->>>> DO NOT FOR ANY REASON DO THIS..

I for one love the story line that comes with the Heritage quests and some of the side quests from city side lines.

This isn't to say you couldn't do it but for those of us that constantly are changing mains it is a PITA to have to constantly go back and complete content again that we did on other toons. It would be helpful for us to have acct flag.

Even a merchant item to buy with status / plat would be fantastic too...then we could take said toon that completed quests , buy token and put in shared bank for current mains.

Of all the things to be made "account-wide," HQ completion is extremely far down the list of priorities imo, if it was to be on the list at all.

If anything there should be account-wide flags for obtaining factions like all the Kunark factions that have to be maxed out just to do epic questlines and tradeskills.

I like this idea, kind of like when they did the Ry'Gor faction in Eastern Wastes, from DoV xpac. I still have 2 tokens for toons if I ever start again, that need the faction. they can pop those tokens and of that faction. They need to bring that back.

This and flying.

I agree that SOME older content should be flagged. Like language quests (Looking at you Dragon Speak). But HQs, Signature and the like, I'm okay with there being no flag.

They've already said the flying part will not be changed, because of some coding problems that it would conflict with.

If its just about the HQ quest, remember you can buy the helms from the merchant on Felfeather island.
No reason to do the HQ on alts besides being able to see the portal to the current T1 raid zone.

Bummer dude.

Really it wasn't that big a deal to do Blood of the Brood on a new toon to meet the pre-req -- its pretty short, especially when everything cons grey .

Now If they had tried to make us do something like the Claymore timeline from go to woah you might have a point...

Seriously, this makes old content worth keeping around if we have to go back to it occasionally like this. My current main didn't have Blood of the Brood, but it was fun to go back and do it again on her. This should be a no-brainer as far as going to old content. Just because we outgrew it, doesn't mean we can't go back to it from time to time for the Lore of the new content.

Unless of course you are raiding on an alt and you want the 490 helm for them

Huh? Why would you need the HQ to raid on an alt for the 490 helm?
