[Mindos]

No Refunds (https://ddowiki.com/page/No_Refunds). Vertical, circular, a spiral stair, err, incline plane.

[LucasMacKinnon]

There are so many its hard to pick just one. I will always love Tear, Gwylans, And Xorian Cipher personally

[C-Dog]

(Thx M - best post award!)

Tough to say, but probably a well-run Tempest Spine. All that climbing, great immersion.

[Memnir]

The STK chain, Xorian Cipher, Crucible, and Prison of the Planes are standouts. But... there are lots more.

Gianthold Tor is always a blast, but I have a strange love for A study in sable. Either that or White Plume Mountain. Such a fun and unique design compared to many other quests, but like most people I love almost every aspect of the game anyway so it’s irrelevant I guess.

[EnragedBears]

Framework

[nazgul748]

I really like ToD, but Xorian Cipher and White Plume Mountain are running a close second.

[FranOhmsford]

MY FAVOURITE QUEST IN THE GAME?

The Legend of Two Toed Tobias {Heroic version}

[JoyfulEagle]

Spies in the House.

It is ironic, because I used to really hate the quest. Then somebody showed me where to stand to do the jump up to the grate in the first air-jet room, and more importantly showed me how to 100% reliably use the air-jet to get up to the electrified level after freeing the final prisoner.

Maybe some day I will figure out the Pit and have a change of heart about that one too.

[Cernunan]

It used to be kobald island before the island was lost in the sea of history, the original reason why kobald hates you!!!

[BandD]

Tempest Spine - First raid I ran and got my first tome

[MyFreePlay]

Haberdasher. What's not to love about a 1-room slugfest?

Of course, there are other 1-room slugfests that are not so good because you need to protect someone/something (e.g. Cannith Crystal).

[EbonnyFlames]

Favorite quest would probably be Spinner of Shadows...

[cdbd3rd]

This week's question is like asking us who our favorite kid is.

I just... can't. :o

[Lonnbeimnech]

partycrashers

[John3000]

Temple of the deathwyrm is definitely up there at the top for the coolness and ambience it sets up.

[MyFreePlay3]

Irestone Inlet - so many chests - so many mimics.

[Dragonlover333]

This is a harder question than usual. The first that came to mind is What Goes Up, mostly for the music and the feeling of grand scale when you get outside (the pretty icicle rain at the end doesn't hurt). I'll always have an appreciation for Spies in the House because of the fun I had figuring it out my first time in there, and Haunted Halls has a unique charm as well. Then there's Project Nemesis, where I get to manage a laser and have a blast timing Rudus jumps (and get blasted if I miss one). There are plenty more special ones, but I'll spare you the rambling :P

[Frogger1234]

The quest I'm in right now. No matter which quest it is.

[Nigel137]

Undermine and Siegebreaker

[Arkat]

Too Hot to Handle

[Aelonwy]

If you had asked me some years ago I would have said Chronoscope, today I'm excessively fond of Invitation to Dinner.
Son's favorite is Precious Cargo, he really loves the airship battle, daughter's favorite is Partycrashers although she still draws my attention to the dragon under the ice in Misery's Peak with joy. Hubby's favorite is What Goes Up, he really enjoys the glacier crashing into the mountain. Watches it every time with something akin to glee.

[thedip]

Death House.

It is beautifully created and so atmospheric. If you really want it to give you the creeps, play it on two characters at once, the slight sound delay between computers when the children speaking is really creepy.

[Phemt81]

I am quite impressed with the work one on Ravenloft and I will say for now that Invitation To Dinner is quite thrilling.

Can't wait to discover all the others in the expansion!

[gilstar9]

Heroic Shroud

[Entil]

WPM, I would run that all day if not for ransack.

[Letu]

Shadow Crypt

[Fnordian]

Crystal Cove Euphonia's Challenge

[Suggs]

Reaver raid for nostalgia. Also, a doomsday end of the world device is pretty cool.

[Enoach]

I wish I could pick just one, every time I think I can narrow this down I run a different one and think no, this is my favorite.

[LrdSlvrhnd]

Ugh, I hate "What's your favorite _____?" questions. They're too hard! So I'm gonna go with "everything except Proof is in the Poison". Because eff you, Proof.

[Tyrande]

What Goes Up?

The reason is multi-fold:

I like the ice environment for hot summers.
I like the music.
I like the story of a city in the sky.
I hate the villian!
I like the XP and difficulty

[Waveclaw]

No matter wjich one it is, I just love 'em all!

[Annex]

Doctor Rushmore's Mansion (solo)

[rfachini]

White Plume Mountain. It brings back so many memories, including holding the original module in my hands and running players through it. The DDO version is fun and well-designed.

[The_Human_Cypher]

A Study in Sable.

[Lanadazia]

accured ascension. hands down the best raid in the game. love it!

[mbartol]

Far too many to choose only one. And I like different quests for different reasons, too.
Unfortunately, there are some that are...not so good, but we'll focus on the positive.
Keep up the good work!

[Kulothar]

When cap was 10 I would have said Redwillow but now I guess impossible demands or Shroud.

[Kuraci]

Stealthy repossession just for the challenge.

[Dulcimerist]

An Explosive Situation

It was one of the first quests I ever did, which brings back fond memories. I especially love the music that starts at the boss fight! :)

[Luchyz]

I don't have a real favorite but there is just something so satisfying about watching the Kobolds soar out of sight when you break a crystal in Mired in Kobolds from a distance. ;p

[Breezwyn]

Where There's Smoke (I love to feed ham to the puppies!)

[SSFWEl]

Invaders!

[Leiton]

Tear of Dhakaan really jumps out, but a lot of similar quests are a lot of fun - the best have some traps, some puzzling, combat at a mix of ranges, and terrain/layout that's interesting but not too confusing.

[Vyrzain]

Assault on Summerfield

[ForumQua]

Impossible to pick just one:
Watch Your Step / Caged Beast / Total Chaos
Fathom the Depths / Into the Deep
An Invitation to Dinner / A Raven at the Door
but so many more good quests, would take too long to list them all.

[dsmwhiteknight]

There are a lot. But if I have to choose one, Spies in the House.

[AAH]

/quit

Always the best part of the day.

[parttimewarrior]

Uh...now that's a difficult one.

Caverns of Korromar is my long-time favorite I guess. This quest really has all of it - great story, exploration, lots of additional lore to discover, some secrets and just the right amount of fighting.

The Prison of the Planes is my second favorite.

There's a lot of other good ones but I guess I'll just keep it at two to avoid an unnecessarily long post. :)

[Molion]

Mine is for sure Tear of Dhakaan and What goes up.

Seeing that fortress crash into the mountain really makes you feel accomplished.

[alancarp]

Not a quest, per se, but it's any of the crystal challenges - particularly crystal cove.

[Dime_407]

Grave Work
Just the dialog from Dorris when you slaughter the entire minotaur village, AGAIN. Priceless analog for what adventure's are about.

[Hahnsoo]

Brothers of the Forge. It's a sad story that is revealed as you progress through the quest. I hope the future of the game lies in stories like this.

[ideal_insomnia]

Eberron: Caverns of Korromar. Great story driven quest, eerie atmosphere, long without being boring.
Elsewhere: Invitation to Dinner. Fantastic adaptation of a very exciting and challenging part of Curse of Strahd. With replayability too!

But honestly, there are too many of them.

[Saaluta]

Either the quest that I step into and immediately get a bunch of xp or Euphonias Challenge(yes I went old school on this one...Get Off Mah Lawn!!! or join me for sweet tea and snickerdoodles...but stop standing around like an idjit!) :)

Saal :)

and yes, the snickerdoodles are homemade and fresh baked!!

[PsychoBlonde]

My favorite quest in the game? I think Partycrashers. I love how it has all the weird back ways in and you can "avoid" the end fight by doing the optionals.

[Drelak]

Too many great quests. I'll mention Caverns of Korromar, Gwylan's Stand and Redwillows ruins because I love the colours and atmosphere.

[Darstav]

All of them. But if i had to pick:



Death house: I love the voice acting in that one and the atmosphere it's perfect.

A Study in Sable: Because that's a really different quest from the rest.

White Plume Mountain: No reasons needed.

[MyFreePlay2]

The Mabar event quests are great.

I like the incorporation of parts of other quests/raids as long as it is not exactly the same. Killing Time gets a nod too.

[Saekee]

Claw of Vulkoor

[Jiirix]

I miss the times I set an alarm for Tower of Dispair on hard or elite and got sweaty hands when we almost whiped.. or whiped. Got the rings I was looking for and it felt like a boss.

[slayson]

Whatever quest I am running with my family at the time.

[Jerevth]

I'd have to say "White Plume Mountain".

[Ennock]

Partycrashers, definitely!

[PurpleTimb]

Without a doubt. Crystal Cove.

I can and do rerun that quest over and over without it ever getting boring for me.

[ComicRelief]

"The Great Coupon Quest of 2020*."
;)

* A Confirmed Critical Year™
;)

[Arayot]

Vault of Night, since it was the first dragon I ever fought in DDO

[elyone]

Under New Management

[DrWily]

Brothers of the Forge. Great story lore, and provides what is personally the best boss music in the whole game.

[MugginsMai]

Framework with an archer. I could do that for days. One of the few quests where I am sad when the map is cleared.

For melee toons, it's Ruined Halls. I like breaking all those boxes and having sort of rando monsters pop out.

For my rogue lives, Haunted Halls all the way. Love love love that quest.

For casters, it's Demon Assault. It's pure joy if you have the right spells prepped.

But overall, my favorites for just being girly are Maraud the Mines & Stromvauld's Mines. I wish there were more collect the gem quests. If you know a first time girl player, recommend those 2 quests and Partycrashers. Super fun objectives.

[Traffik]

My favorite quest has to be Partycrashers, it has great music, fun objectives and optionnals and an hilarious "end fight".

[Nyrvjjn]

Titan Awake

[Brandwynn]

To many to name.. I love each for a different reason.

[nordlav]

Probably Heroic Shroud. My first raid, there was just so much going on and so much to learn and always a chance a group might wipe, but it's always been fun.

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

I personally enjoy Killing Time........


However if Kor Kaza has all the Thyme in the world as she claims, how can I ever hope to make a decent variety of sausages from scratch?

[krzyysiek098]

The Dreaming Dark.

[Jango-EX]

Wow... that's a tough one! Maybe Misery's Peak. So many memories of times gone by

[radule]

All of the three Delirium quests in the Twelve. Cannot pick a favourite one. They have it all - witty humor, challenging fights and ingame mechanics you cannot see anywhere else in the game.

[Damienne]

Crystal cove!

[wiliamsane]

lot of them .. but story wise - Brothers of the forge

[Heledore]

Delirium (beholders & alcohol)
:p

[Magniee]

Hard to beat the anniversary party

[Moeballah]

I really want cookies.

[Madracah]

Will know once i play it.

[ahpook]

What is your favorite quest in the game?

Invitation to Dinner.

But Shroud and Prison of the Planes are close contenders.

[erethizon]

My favorite quest in the game is A Study in Sable.

[Velenfein]

2 quests:

Finding the path, for the music

Sinister storage, for the best DM performance.

[PurpleSerpent]

This has to go to Prison of the Planes, for me.

[Manotasso]

What goes up

[gravisrs]

Return to Delera's tomb :)

[btolson]

Through a Mirror Darkly, probably

[Lher148]

The Haunted Halls of Eveningstar.

[csgholahayt]

lot of them .. but story wise - Brothers of the forge

1. Heroic: Misery's Peak (Anything Heroic is good - especially for beginners)
2. Epic: Haunted Halls of Eveningstar
3. Wilderness: The Cogs
4. Legendary: White Plume Mountain

[Gergelyke]

My personal favorite is DDO - yes I know, still every quest it has.

The game itself and the quest mechanics goes hand in hand

I'm in love with DDO...

narrowing it down, my first quest I've done: The Grotto (Devs hear me out, this one needs some love and a revamp!)

[Buddha5440]

I guess it's a tie between Spies and The Pit.

Now if we just had an Epic version of The Pit, hint, hint. :)

[Hoplos]

Lords of Dust, probably

[MasterofDungeons]

I still like Tangleroot! So many deaths trying to kill Whisperdoom.

[minipig]

The Pit. It's the first really long quest that I played and it felt very good to complete it.

[syrion52]

ALL of them! seriously... including the ones that have yet to be released into DDO.

Tomb of Horrors (wink wink nudge nudge)
Expedition to Barrier Peaks (yeeess)

But I would be remiss without paying homage; therefore...

Delera's and Threnal

Thank You Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson for changing my life forever

[Malleable]

Legendary Ghosts of Perdition especially for the music!!

[Mornyngstar]

Titan Raid.

[Thinaria]

Breaking the ranks, I guess

[Nothingtoseehere]

Hard to say. The best ones all have good puzzles or actually support stealth rather than just kill everything to progress.
Maybe Monastery of the Scorpion, Reaver's Fate, Search and Rescue or Good Intentions off the top of my head, though I am sure there are others.

[Brekian]

not really sure

[Gniewomir]

Twilight forge, heroic abbot, deathwyrm. Wierd quests/raids are the best!

[Cordovan]

Hard to say. The best ones all have good puzzles or actually support stealth rather than just kill everything to progress.
Maybe Monastery of the Scorpion, Reaver's Fate, Search and Rescue or Good Intentions off the top of my head, though I am sure there are others.

Congratulations, you are this week's winner! PM incoming with a code.

[Nothingtoseehere]

Thank you!
