My Top Quests, in no particular order:


While Guthix Sleeps - This is the archetype of "epic quest." It has everything: puzzles, boss fights, hidden mysteries, great "lore," world exploration/travel, great music, instant and long term rewards (including content rewards, xp rewards, and monetary rewards). It was the first "Grandmaster" quest, and truly lived up to it's title.

The World Wakes - The storyline. Mind-blowing. Twists that I don't think anyone expected. Causing changes that effected the entire world. Had boss fights, and many of the same kind of rewards that WGS had (though to a lesser degree I'd say). My main "complaint" on this quest (not really one, more a "I wish this had also been in it&quot ;) is that it takes place entirely in one cave, and that i wish it was longer.

One Piercing Note - This is one of those quests that truly stood out in my mind, and I think was my one of my first "favorite" quests. I loved the music/audio/voice acting in it, it brought quests (since this was the first that really involved these things on this level) to a whole new height. I can honestly say I never saw the end coming (who/what the killer was) and the ending had a great emotional impact-still occasionally gives me chills when I listen to Cithrade Requiem.

Branches of Darkmeyer -The other of my "first two favorite quests." This to me, was perfect. I couldn't think of a better quest for the Myrque series then this. The boss was one of the toughest fights I remember (I nerfed Nomad for myself by using Gano on him :( ) I loved the music, rewards(including the city itself) were great too.

Death of Chivalry - This takes the place of what used to be Dragon Slayer, and is here mostly because it's a F2P quest. And yet, it was amazing-definitely the best F2P quest out there now.

Missing, Presumed Death - Mostly for the same reason as TWW. An amazing, lore-filled quest.

Honorable Mentions:

(again, in no particular order)

Ritual of the Majharrat - The reason this doesn't make it into the top is mostly my fault. I realize that I was pushing it, but I wanted more out of it. I wanted it to be 5-10 hours long in pure gameplay time, I wanted full armies fighting at the ritual sight, I wanted to see "The sky "dripping with venom and fire" and the ground "twisting into grotesque forms with mouths that chewed at the roots of trees that bled" (and more then just the single bloodwood tree there)," etc. I also felt the boss waves to weak and the puzzles to simple-I wanted several Nomad+ level fights, and puzzles at least around EW difficulty.

Basically, I waaay overhyped it in my mind, and therefore, despite the fact that it was an absolutly amazing quest, I cannot put it on the very top.

Elemental Workshops III and IV - I loved the puzzles in these quests and the style of quests that they are. I really am a fan of difficult puzzles, and of the scientific, inquisitive, approach that these quests take.

Mourning Ends II - Mostly for the puzzle, same as the above.

Firemakers Curse - While not as much as the above 3, I did rather like the puzzles in this quest, as well as the general gameplay, lore,and interaction with the characters. (Ironically, I only just recently got the original level I would have needed to do this quest,. Of course, had that remained as the level needed, I probably would have made an effort to get it a lot sooner.)

Stolen Hearts/Diamond in the Rough + Rune Mystaries/Memories - These had some great storyline, and interaction. Of particular note are the boss fight from DitR and the lore behind the tower from RM. The main reason these don't go as high as DoC is because of the split into two quests....I didn't like that.

Fremennik Sagas Nadir and Vengeance - Wile not really quests, they kinda are....

Anyway, they're here because of the great emotional impact I had from Vengeance, as well as the ability to see how (some of) the rest of the world, you're enemies, view your character.

Nadir is in here because of the massive amount of lore, music, and graphics in it.Mostly lore :)

Ritual of the Mahjarrat. Full of lore, good and long, some nice fights, nifty locations, not too much fetching... While Guthix Sleeps was close, but too much fetching and some of the lore was kind of jammed in there (Moravio's Notes). Mostly it was just too annoying. And The World Wakes was too short and not enough exploration.
