I feel like this should exist, given what you guys started trying to do and what's in the mod so far, but I simply can not find it (feel free to read that as a "wanted: manual" :) ) --

1. "Quest Giver Goals": 

I am in a zone.  I am a perfectionist and a completist.  I would very much like to have waypoints/goals/etc just like I do with quests ("wanted: mok'thor" gives me a point on my map for where mok'thor is, or the area he can be found) for quest GIVERS.  For any quests not marked as "completed" in my database.  I want to make sure I visit them all, and that seems like the easiest way to.  You happily send me BACK to the quest givers/end-points if I've completed a quest (even if it's a quest I got pre-carbonite) so I know you have the locations of these people... :)

 2. "Quest Finder" idea:

  I'm in a zone.  I have one quest to go to DEATHOLME.  I want to see if there are other quests I could get to go to DEATHOLM to save me some time.  I think something along the lines of a drag-and-select area on the map idea, so I click and drag a rectangle around deatholme, then every quest in the zone that has goals in that area (either quest givers, quest completion points, or mobs/drops in the area) pop up, with the quest line they are in, which quest I have in that, and what I'd have to do next to continue that to get to the point where DEATHOLME is my next goal in that chain.  This would help tremendously with zone questing efficiency. :)

Givers are not in the database because we did not have an effect way to collect them until last week. That data is being gathered and should start to be available in a few weeks....I hope.

Maybe someday. The todo list is very long.

I completely understand.  I am just voicing the ideas I have that could really make Carbonite show features that no other mods do.  Really cool ideas that are too complex/intricate for casual modders to do.  :)

This is my last post of the night. My fingers are now bleeding. xelepart can you mail me some bandaids?

We like cool ideas. Have a few not on the todo list.... 

Sorry about all the posts, I just happened to have a free hour, and I've been using Carbonite all day. :)

 is there any news to the status ?

 
I would love to get pointed to questgivers, when i am near
 

They have some of the quest givers in the database and are getting more, I believe, by the truck load. 

I was thinking about what the feature I really want about the quest giver goals -- and here's what I'm thinking.  I basically want a toggle-able feature "Show Quest Givers With Quests In Current Zone"

And if on, then every quest giver who *should* have a quest for me, given what Carbonite knows about me (which quests it knows I have complete, have currently, what faction I am, what level I am, etc), in my current zone should show up as goals on my list and on the map.  There should be a way to say "don't show me this quest source again" too, to clean up clutter/database errors.

That option would be so awesome you can't imagine.  Please.  Soon.  Just thinking about how much I want this hurts. :)

I've been subbing to Carbonite for a couple of months now and I'm trying to get my brothers hooked too. The ideas voiced by xelepart in this post could most likely finally sway at least my questaholic-perfectionist brother.

Therefor I have to chime in and add my approving vote. And I'll chip in on a box of band-aids for faatal. ;-)

 Some type of show quest givers in zone will definitely be added. It is more a matter of how smart it will be. The rules on if you can get a quest often rely on data we don't have stored for the quests (min level, faction) or may not know like previous chain requirements.

Understood.

If the quest giving requirements are noted somehow then at least I can make a more educated guess as to my ability to get the quest as well as see the potential quest availability in a particular zone.

If this is not possible then at least seeing potential quest givers is better than running around at random. ;-)
