Talk:The True King

Removed work-around from main article

 * "Warning: If you take the quest, but no longer have the Message From Barradin in your inventory when you speak to Lord Darin, Duke Barradin will not give you the message again if you have a separate quest reward to accept from him (i.e. for Warrior's Challenge). You will have to accept the quest reward before he will again give you the Message From Barradin."

I removed the above note from the main article primarily because it's a generic problem with lost quest items when the quest giver and/or rewarder offers multiple quests. It doesn't seem to me that people get stuck with this dilemma often and even less often on this particular quest. If we think such situations require a work-around, then I prefer that we teach people how to solve the general problem. (See below.) I have helped a lot of people with issues in pre-Searing and this situation is very rare, mostly because most people complete the quests relatively quickly (so it's unlikely that they'll lose the message) or they are perma (and therefore unlikely to be slowed down by this type of thing).

Here's a draft of the general case. If people think it's worthwhile, I'll setup a template and add it to this page (and we can apply it universally to other articles).

The wikicode might look like this,, and look like this in the article:
 * "Note: if you lose the [item] before claiming the reward, you might encounter a hiccup trying to get a new copy from [giver], since this NPC also offers other quests. To work around the problem, complete or abandon any other quests given by the same NPC (e.g. [quest]) before returning to them."
